How do they sell cars? They expect people to just buy without a test drive? Crazy.

As I recall, that was the case for Boxsters when they first came out.

I've got a pdk and have been enjoying it. I'm still about 85 miles out from fully breaking the engine in at 2k miles. Haven't had any issues with the transmission and the car is warrentied for 4 years, so I expect if any issues arise, it will be covered. Only issues have been a needed software upgrade to the PCM, a AC charge and 2 exhaust clamps needed replacing.

I'm with you, they should allow it, especially when the person already owns one, they just won't. They have no competition so they can do what they want..
