Per my earlier post, as this car is just a "thing", I think you have your answer.

I don't want to get into the "more fun" debate, but I do think it's more engaging. Additionally (and sadly) true "stick in hand" manuals are going the way of the dodo; if it were me, I'd definitely go with the manual while the choice is still there....and to stop the debate before it starts...yes, PDK's shift much faster than any human I know of, but it's still not the same "connected" feeling. This is, of course, just my humble opinion...coming from someone who's first car was a stick, and second, and third, etc; now (on two of my other cars) I have the "option" to shift (via paddle), but it's just not the same...and is almost never used. Then again, go with whatever works best for you.
