I also have the 2009 PDK boxster, and if I had to do it all over, I would have held out for an S.
But the PDK does have the SAG system (stomp n go) which I love. Works like this:
Remove foot momentarily from accelerator.
Stomp on accelerator.
Fly off.
No way can a human shift (and I'm not brave enough to downshift from 7th to 3rd, but the car does it) as fast as the PDK, and the 0-60 is great.
What's not to like? Granted, it is smooth, to the point where looking at your speedometer is a surprise (I'm going 85?!).
If you want to feel disconnected, try a Lexus IS. So quick, so agile, so oddly makes you feel sleepy at 90+ mph. Smooth as glass . . . yawn.
Here's a question; when you start it up, does it burst into a roar and rev itself to 1500 rpm? It settles after a few minutes (about 800 rpm), but mine didn't do this at first, now it does it all the time. Supposedly, it's the adaptive PDK, but I'm not so sure.
