I know that Poggo, I'm just not sure Bilbo does..........
So what you're saying is if you floor it the gearbox will "automatically" change gears without you "manually" having to actually move the gears???
Hmmm...........
Don't worry Bilbo, it's school boy error...............
The confusion between auto and manual is easilly cleared up...........
Manual means you manually or physically have to move and engage the gears (as in the actual cogs, not the same thing as gear selection).........
Automatic means it does it itself, whether you tell it to or no not, either by selecting a gear, making an imput via the gear stick in the tiptronic or command shift mode, via paddles or through manipulation of the accelerator..........
Selection of gears does not make it manual. Actually moving them does........
In short...........
If you move the gears, it manual........
If it moves the gears, it automatic.........
