  Anybody have experience with Tiptronic trasmission?
  
  If switch to manual mode, how fast will be the response? Will it reponse as fast a manual gear?
  
  How about the lifetime of this kind of transmission box? If keep working in manual mode, will it cut short the lifetime?

  Many Euro Cars have it, such as Peugeut, Renault, Audi and etc. The new Mazda 3 and Mazda 6/2.3l also have this function, but in different name

  depends on model.IMHO, some makes can do themselves a favour n just go either manual or conv auto. It jus makes no diff...
  but my OOOO A4 tip so far is fun to play wz ,response is fast .if u maintain it well like regular cleaning,flushing of ATF oil, etc,,it shud last u like 5-6 yrs before the performace slack.
  mines called the multitronic n uses chain instead of belt..crusing at80kph on D is arnd 1700rpm only.
  hope it helps.

  I used to have that in my Mit Galant... Response wise is not bad cos u get to drag the gear until u change up but there's no pt in using the "manual gear" all e time cos u might as well get a manual car... I had no problem with my gearbox

  well certainly not as fast as a manual. unless u own an M3 or a 360 Modena, dun expect lightning fast changes... u'd be disappointed if u did. rather, enjoy hassle free motoring.
