Question tiptronic question

i have a cvt tranny, and when i use tiptronic it feels better than leaving it in auto, so is it bad to drive alot like that? does it burn anything out faster?

it would be cool if i could drive like that all the time without doin harm to my car

I had cvts in b7 loaners all the time while my car was still under warranty. One time while at a light I revved it as high as it would go with my foot on the brake and then launched it. It didn't seem to like that very much!
