In my experience the downsides are gear rattle and stalling. The stalling was experienced in a 993. The software wasn't able to adapt.

Perhaps it's because I'm accustomed to lightened flywheels on nearly EVERYTHING I get my hands-on..... but I haven't found the car to be "stall-prone". There seems to be so much torque, it doesn't need the flywheel mass the way an inline-motor does.
But yeah, the gear-rattle is enough that sometimes I'll stick the clutch in at a light.... just to avoid the embarrassment when the guy at the light next to me hears it. hahaha
