Im looking to buy an audi but the one i found is tiptronic can anyone explain the difference and what is bad and good about both? Im looking for speed in my car so would the tiptronic slow me down alot?

 

tiptronic the shifting is slow and if u want to do major mods to bad

 

manuals can handle any amount of horsepower thrown at the vs tiptronic in stock form can only handle 270 chp without modding the stall etc etc.. But you can fix the laggy shifts on a tip with a giac tranny chip.

 

thnx. what about the front wheel drive instead of quatro i found one of those also but i think it may be tiptronic also.. what do u recommend?

 

i own a tiptronic

tiptronic-it is fun, confortable when you put it back to D,
but always on gear, slower then stick not huge diffrence but little bit, auto shifting which i do not like

manual faster, really fun to drive, even better when you mod,
but if you are in heavy traffic sucks gotta do lots of shifting

overall my suggestions to you after driving a stick and a auto car if you want something for speed and you are sure that you will mod the car and take it far as possible go with stick buttt if you want something to cruise around with mods as a luxery car and you will be driving it on the street all the time go with no shifting go with tip because i drive a tip when ever racing or going fast i use tip then i put it in auto while im cruising. i hope it helped you but its your choice you could mod tiptronic it would be a fast car it wont be slow but if you do the same thing to a stick you are better off it is like a head start for you.


AUDI WITHOUT QUATTRO IS LIKE DRINKING BEER WITHOUT ALCOHOL thats what audi is known for no offense to the fwd drivers

 

I know of a guy with a fwd tiptronic running stage III apr. Not too shabby.

 

tiptronic is just an automatic with a flicky gear **** not as good as paddle shift, 4x4 cost more to run if fuel consumption is in the equation

 

ya i know this 01 with no quattro is killing me cause its a hell of a deal and hes got this other one like i said 37k miles 2001 a4 1.8t but its tiptronic.. so tiptronic is not good or good if u want to mod?

 

bad for modding I would have thought

 

ya ur probably right. i might get this a4 1.8t Front Wheel Drive 01 its got like 97k on it but the engine head was just rebuilt. how much do u think a car like thatis worth? i believe it also is tiptronic
