it starts in first. it lags; like 2 sec delay. yea you still hold the gas down.
**** is garbage and it was bad for the 97-99 preludes that honda never recalled

in my moms auto 3rd gen eclipse u dont even have to shift...u just put in in tiptronic mode and floor it and it shifts at redline for u....if u try shifting urself, it lags and takes just as much time as it would for the car to do it by itself. its ****** lame.

it depends on the car...some actually have highly responsive tiptronic systems while others still lag when you shift, even newer ones. ur best bet is to take one ur interested in for a test drive and see for urself.
