We were originally leaning towards a manual transmission, but after talking with about a dozen friends and family members, we're reconsidering. We have young children and live in a pretty hilly city (Vancouver, Canada) that sometimes has horrible traffic.
I think the automatic transmission with the "Tiptronic" feature might just give us the best of both worlds. I'm particularly curious...if I drive it in "manual mode" can I expect better fuel economy than when driving in full automatic mode? Or, is this just a fun performance feature?
