Manual shifting
does anyone here uses the manual shifting(Tiptronic or whatever its called) ? I find it truely useless coming from a manual transmission car. im still trying to find a benefit of using it as it seems the car changes the gears itself anyway. Am i missing something here?

Downshift for long hill descent...slow down for speed trap without flashing brake lights...midlife crisis...?

yes, its pretty useless if you are looking for stick shift inspired driving... i've used it may be 2-3 times. Brakes are cheaper than new engine so i use brakes instead of engine braking if i need to slow down

other than passing (who passes anymore ) I sometimes use it in slow bumper to bumper traffic; i put it in 2nd and find i can control the forward movement better than relying on the auto continually going up and down
