what model stagea?
if its the M35, then assuming its got the same gearbox at my auto V35 (i think it is) then i can say its nothing like older auto's, its a far superior piece of kit well worth consideration it actually sounds and feels like driving a manual, not like a normal auto the tiptronic is a very nice piece of kit if you're talking about an older stagea then i cannot comment remember that 99% of the comments you will hear about autoamtics are from people with a manual car that have not driven the car/gearbox you are interested in and are just jumping in with the usual "auto's suck" comments. want some real advice? speak to someone who has driven exactly what you're after. cheers, Warren -------------------- NEW: V35 specific section of the forums: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p?showforum=170 |

Tiptronic if you're a city driving person..
Manual if you're going to be around the bends alot.. If it were an R35 GTR you'd have no choice but to go tiptronic  -------------------- |

Another thing to consider, a manual box is 100x times easier and cheaper to repair if something goes wrong, those tiptronic boxes can be quite complicated so I would cringe at the cost of fixing something! If your buying a car that is reaching 10 years old, your bound to hit a few problems along the way.
