I don't want to miss the advantage of the automatic gear box.
What about driving down a hill/mountain road? I find the tiptronic/geartronic very usefull in that situation as you can use the engine-braking to keep the speed under control. In auto mode it tends to change to a higher gear and end up using the brakes almost continuously...
