Its Tiptronic super transmission is so efficient, that it's even faster than the manual and by quite a wide margin!
I do not think that any longer
P.S.: If future Tip tests result in better acceleration times I might change my view again. However, for the time being I do not think that Tip delivers better straight line acceleration
Markus, re-read my post again and you'll see the tone with which the statement was made. Should've written: Its Tiptronic "super-duper" transmission is so efficient, that it's even faster than the manual and by quite a wide margin!
This is the tone with which my post was meant to be read .
The 0-200 time is a bit better for the Tip, but you wouldn't notice it at all. With all that extra torque it also better be faster.
