Tiptronic on the Cayman
Before anyone flames me for getting a Tip Porsche, I'd like to head that off and say that I had no choice.
I noticed when test driving the Cayman S, that the Tiptronic starts in 2nd gear. The sales guy claimed this was due to fuel efficiency but another person said it is done to prevent wheel spin. Does anyone know whether either of these are true or if there is another explanation?
Also, is there a way to force Tip to start in 1st gear when in automatic mode? I know that I can downshift when stopped and in Manual mode.
