Tiptronic reliablity?
Curious to see what kind of reliability folks have gotten out of the Tip gearboxes. The wife does not drive manual, and I have considered getting here a Boxster thats a couple years old with a Tip. 2001-2003 Boxster, maybe 40kish on the odometer.

It really is nice for a daily driver and for the time you travel with your wife who can't do a stick.

My 968 is a tip. The previous ride was a 944 w/ manual trans. Getting in and around downtown Seattle was a royal PITA with the hills and people pulling up so close that I ended up using the handbrake a great deal. I'm in Kidnap (Kitsap) county now, and have aspirations of a manual 968 w/ LSD, but whenever I go downtown, I don't miss it.
Mine has about 75K on it, and it is a 93 968. One small leak that cost more time than parts money. Micah

On hills, with a stick I just put on my brake and tell the guy to come around me.
