Went looking for another 996 with a 3.4 engine...tried tips and manual and could not get over how much fun the tip is in its manual mode. Now and then I leave it in auto mode but not often. 99% of what I could do in a manual trans car I can do with my tip...I have zero complaints.

Occasionally I drive my wife's Toyota Avalon which is auto. I prefer to use it like I would use a stick car but obviously a clutch not involved. I love it. So if the tip 996 can be used in that fashion then I would not turn my nose up at a carrera tip. In fact I would relish the idea.
