Our 09S with PDK was a hoot. Put it in 'Sports' or 'Sports+' mode and mash the throttle. Let the computer pick the gear and hold on. It was ridiculously quick.

The PDK is an awesome trans, but there's something about having your hand on the stick and shifting gears as you're going through the windy, twisty roads. I would never own a Porsche with an automatic.

I own both and they are different, love the tip, love the manual. City traffic is enjoyable with the tip and you can let someone valet, the manual only sees my feet.
