Default Tiptronic!

Well.. i was chillin one day and my uncle picked me up in his new g35 and he has a tiptronic [or idk what infiniti calls it] and it was amazing.. i like NEED to have one now, screw stick shifting.. let me get one of these bad boys..

does hondas carry them? or anyone can refer me to a car that uses them? i've drove jettas with them and damn.. i love it when the turbo kicks in and im flying with no need to shift and its never lagging [maybe im just bad at stick]

You are just bad at driving a real manual car..........

The newer Preludes had that garbage ****, which was exactly that. Honda automatics have a very high failure rate and almost all have had recalls of some sort.

The last gen Prelude is the only Honda I know of with manual/auto shift as well.

My friend had one with only 75k miles. The tranny performed like **** - engagement was very abrupt, didn't like the cold and didn't have a "sporty" feel at all.

Several people asked what was wrong with it lol.
