If you're not sure about the semi-auto box, come and test drive it! The gearbox can simply be used in "D" for normal automatic driving or you can manually change up and down through the gears (without the clutch) (also allowing the engine to use the whole rev range).

This is a complete one-off car! There is no other RSi that is a semi-automatic/tiptronic in the whole world! (as far as i'm aware)
