how does tiptronic work?

Question

i want to get a 07 jetta gli thats why.

Answer 1

It's just like any other automatic transmision except that you can control it manually if you want to. Most auto makers these days are putting some form of it on thier automatics. Even Hyundai offers a version of it on thier sonata and Sante-fe. It has a fancy name but it's just an automatic transmission.
This is just my opinion, but you don't want a VW. They used to be good reliable cars but they aren't anymore. they are some of the most unreliable cars on the roads and getting service at a dealership is a nightmare.
Jetta's specificaly have a reputation for being either a girls car or a gay mans car. not sure why, but that is the perception.
Just a heads up for ya.

Oh and you don't have to take my word for it. See the link below.

"Most Volkswagen models were rated far below average for reliability. The all-wheel drive Volkswagen Passat received the lowest reliability rating of any vehicle in the survey.

A spokesman for Volkswagen of America did not deny that the company's products have had problems. "

well, lets see, if your wife doesnt like the manual, buy an automatic The tiptronic maybe is faster, more "cool", and a state of the art for racing....but your wife isnot gonna race the car.. Maintenance in a tiptronic is very expensive and if youre going to spend too much time away from your home, buy and automatic, there is no difference for your wife the way the transmission works, and your wallet will stay in calm Regards

Answer 4

As has been said, tiptronic is a form of transmission that allows you to shift gears conveniently, much like a "stick" without having to clutch. Technically, you can do this on any automatic car, but the tiptronic makes it a bit easier.


As to the one guys post

1) I am a heterosexual male (6'3, and look like a biker) and I own a jetta. Tdi. and a passat. Tdi. Wagon.

Check out the vw commercials where that stereotype you speak of is even talked about. It's a stereotype because people like yourself are close minded. I prefer to think of a jetta (or any TDI/CDI/CRD) vehicle as an educated persons car, not a "gay persons car" or a "chick car"

2) VW's have a reliability issue, that is correct. However, MOST people that I know who OWN vw's do NOT know how to properly maintain their cars. Some cars will "run even if you don't maintain them" .. like the old anecdotes about people not changing their oil for 20,000 miles and having no problems. VW, however, has a very specific maintenance cycle, and it should be followed. I know TWO tdi owners who did not know the car needed 10,000 mile full synthetic oil changes, instead of 3,000 mile "cheap dinosaur oil"..

[Don't worry folks.. Both cars are fine]
You may say "Full synthetic oilchange? wouldn't that be like $90?"
and the answer is "only if the dealer does it"

My 2003 VW Jetta GLS TDI oil change costs me $27 (and that includes the filter) .. that's for 10000 miles, which is the proper interval for MY car.

thats $2.70 per 1000 miles..
3,000 mile gasoline car oil change, therefore, comparably, is around $8.10

Yes, there is a recall on a LOT of volkswagens right now for a part that is made by BOSCH (btw, that same part is used in ford vehicles.)

For every article you can link bombing the quality of VW, I can link you 2 articles extolling their virtues.

I get 49mpg, I run (partially) on vegetable oil, I don't pollute anywhere near as much as even, say, a PRIUS, I can drive over 1200 miles without refueling, and I am now up to 150HP, and 240 torque.

Answer 5

The Tiptronic name generally means a regular automatic (with a torque converter) transmission that you can shift up and down like a manual trans. But the Jetta uses a DSG transmission. Its actually a manual trans that can act like an automatic. It has TWO electric wet clutches (instead of a torque converter) and two separate gear sets, one odd number gears and the other even number gears. This allows for incredibly fast upshifts (.2 seconds) and still have the feeling of directness of a manual trans. The GLI includes paddle shifters on is steering wheel for even faster human reactions on the manual shift. But amazingly you get quicker acceleration by letting it shift itself. The reason why is that the computer will allow the engine to go over 300 rpm redline. So you have more power. This is a $1100 option and its worth every penny, you'll have alot of fun with the paddles.

Good Luck.

Answer 6

Tiptronic is basically an automatic transmission that allows you to shift the gears manually without using a clutch.
2007 VW Jettas are amazing cars, whoever said is more girly or for gay men is wrong.
If you like the car, go for it. Volkswagen's are great cars. I had a 2001 Beetle and now have a 2007 Beetle Convertible, they have been completely reliable for me, no problems whatsoever.
enjoy your new VW:)

well, tiptronic is basicly a automatic trans, that has a function that allows you to shift the manually up and down through gears, w/o a clutch. You just move the selector over into the +/- section and shift through the gears.
