Agree entirely. PDK totally kills the driving experience.

However, it does allow unskilled drivers to jumo in a sports car and ping up and down the gearbox like a pro. So commercially, it's a no brainer - most people love PDK.

So long as they keep doing the manual, let them have PDK. Only problem is that the 991's manual gearbox is compromised by being based on the PDK box. So they is a downside to this new tech, even if you don't opt for it.

At least the 981 has the proper manual carried over from the 987.
