I was trying to think about the negatives to mine, and this post just made me think of one. The 2.7T with the auto/tiptron transmission is what I have, and there is something that's refereed to as "tip lag." It's supposedly a fuel efficiency program in the transmission, but sometimes you notice what is a bit of a "lag" under certain accel conditions.

It's not that this bothers me really, but I'm 100% sure the six speed manual would have been a better choice.
