“Nah, bro! It’s got these paddles so it’s just like a manual!”

When I was looking for a first car, a dealer listed an Audi TT Quattro as FWD. I lol’d.

Manual “mode” is not a fucking manual!

Hate that. I went into the local VW dealer ready to cut a check for a used ‘07 2.0T Passat wagon for my wife specifically because it said “MANUAL TRANSMISSION” in the description. The rep I talked to was pissed to lose that sale for a stupid mistake.

*frantically reads from brochure*
“Nah bro, see it says right here... Manu...manumatic! Yeah, see? It’s totally a manual bro!”

I bet. The ones for sale here always slated as manual and the pics clearly show the flappy paddles.

Dear car dealers,
Tiptronic is not manual. Even if it has a “manual shift mode.”

That sucks! Hopefully the rep ripped the shit out of the marketing person.

And it’s most certainly not “Both auto and manual!”

A.K.A. Every DSG M5 on the internet...

Or SMG M3 listed as “other”. What the hell is that?

Search for a four door RWD with a manual.
Get excited by all the listings
Click on one
Click on another one
then another one
then another one
Give up, because you can’t find a manual in a sea of all the other ‘manual’s

Yup. Go to cars.com, and search for Ferrari F430’s. Set a filter for manual transmission. There’s a good amount of results, right? Yeah, well you’ll be lucky if 2 of them are actual gated manuals. It’s absolutely ridiculous how incompetent the dealerships must be. What’s worse is that many of them are specialized “exotic” dealerships... shouldn’t they know the difference?!?

Yes. Like every other Audi and VW. (I think it shares its platform with the A3 and the Golf)

Most accounts I’ve heard of the SMG, especially early ones, sound like “other” is a good name.
It’s not smooth or easy to use like an auto, and it’s not fun like a manual.
