I wouldn't get a tiptronic because it saps hp and performance, but I wouldn't mind a PDK if it had F1 style paddle shifters like Ferarri does it. Keeping the push buttons on the wheel was a mistake.
The problem with the tip or any auto in a sports car is that the torque converter robs your ability to be accurate with the throttle to control the car. I am a hard core manual guy, and feel uncomfortable driving an auto for that very reason... but...
The PDK has none of those issues, and I drove a new Boxster with the PDK the other day and probably will never order another car without it... its that good.
