Tiptronic, auto - but can be manual.
Manuals are a pain in the arse in the city because of lots of traffic lights and crap like that, so you just shift the thing into Drive and use your break. However auto's are brainless sods when your travelling through the hills or you have a trailer with your big momma in the back. So you shift the thing into the right bottom corner and then move the stick back to go up a gear, and back to go down a gear. Thats what my dads car has. It's a Ford BA Falcon, which is a standard model family stationwagon, I believe they are exclusive to Australia (I know they are australian designed and made, except some of the electronics). Its pretty cool to drive with, the car handles hella well if you want to bash it through the Australian bushland hills.
Other cars also have this feature.
The BA Falcon also has a fly-by-wire accelerator, which has its benifits of being able to get an easy feel for speed, however if you were on the freeway doing 110km/h and suddenly there was a technical failure you would have several other cars planted in your rear end.
I've only been driving for less then a year myself, it's been a great car to learn to drive in.
