Porsche boxster automatic or stick/ engine noise.?
 

My customers is test driving boxsters and my customers thought my customers wanted a manual transmission but my customers tested the tiptronic just to compare it Car Diagnostic Tools.

My customers noticed the automatic was a lot less noisy; is this true in general or just for the one my customers was driving?

Also, is the engine placed in the same area in the tiptronic, it felt like it was in the front or under drivers seat (not further back like in the manual).

Thank you
