[A4] A4 for sale in canada, opinions

[josh Wyte]

The tiptronic acts kinda like an automatic 5 speed if
that makes any sense.  It is a 5 speed gearbox that
can be full automatic, or you can control it be
tapping the stick forward for upshifts or backwards
for downshifts.  It'll hold the gear till redline. 
Garrett also has a chip for it that quickens the
shifts etc.

It's worlds ahead of the old automatic they were
using...
