I own a Audi S4 with slushbox...The Porsche tiptronic is so much better



ummm, the point was not to compare Audi and Porsche, it was to compare tiptronic to DSG/PDK.

everything we know to this point about direct shift gearboxes would suggest that PDK will be better than Tiptronic S.

This would make me wary of getting a Tiptronic with the possibility that it will be an outdated transmission in a year or two.

I'm sure with a little electronic wizardry you can make a Tiptronic shift very quickly, pre-boost, etc. etc.

But it still has a torque converter. I would think the PDK will put more power to the road.



Since it is widely accepted that Porsche is working on its version of the DSK does it not stand to reason that Porsche feels it is an improvement over its present Tiptronic?

If that wasn't the case why would they be developing the sequential transmission?



That is a very good argument
