Bit scared of the tip-tronic gear box... they seem more complex than a manual gear stick etc.. surely must be more expensive to fix also...?

I don't personally like the performance of them or the look of them, however, the holy fuck they sound awesome 
There is one that lives near Kerrys work and it sounds fantastic, nice deep roar

Thats what i want a bit of flash and pose.. 
Not to bothered on performance - i could probably make it fast if i wanted to tune it.. but want a nice sounding car Miss my V6 vec but cant afford another as the MK2 GSI's are still quite expensive... plus its still a Vectra...
