Question for RS6 owners what % of the time do you use Automatic vs Tiptronic/Automanual?
Thanks!

I was using the downshift paddle regularly when my brakes were misbehaving, but in general I don't use it because either way it's still an automatic and it drives like one, flappy paddles or no.

Aggressive driving and that's basically it...

Always tip.

Otherwise, what happens to your toothbrush is your own doing...

Mostly Auto but I downshift with the flippers all the time
when I am feeling froggy, "S" is the mode
when I am feeling "CRAZY", ± is the mode.

Auto is too comfy to even consider the paddles. However, it's nice to have the option up north :)

Backcountry twisty driving is paddle only for me, auto doesn't cut it and sport is too jumpy...
