PDK any experiences here?
 
Just after some feedback from people that have owned and lived with it.

Not owned, but I've done 3 x Porsche Experience days and numerous test drives/courtesy cars over the years.
So a mix of track and road driving.

I like it a lot.
Sports Plus mode is a bit too aggressive for road use (and gives a great thump in the back when giving it some!) but as an everyday proposition PDK is a wonderful box.
Many people decry the addition of these boxes in what are perceived as 'weekend' cars, but they're the future.

PDK-S takes it to another level, but that's only so far fitted to the GT3 / Turbo

PDK + sports exhaust, whilst a little contrived noise wise, it's still one of the best combinations you can buy today.
I have DCT in my M3 but I think overall PDK is a bit more balanced.

Oh, avoid the steering wheel buttons - paddles are what you need :)

I love it, pressing a clutch is a mugs game. All 3 of my Porsches have had it although as Zip says the PDK-S on the GT3 is another level. PDK-S is not availiable on any other model apart from 991 GT3/RS yet, although the new 991.2 now has the stick the right way round. Porsche have finally admitted they had it wrong all along and are slowly changing it with every new model. My Macan Turbo has PDK but its still the wrong way round :( hoping the Turbo S will get released soon and come with an updated PDK, then I will trade :)

I'm itching to actually get into a dealer and try one out. I'll not have the chance now until next week.

Car I'm after is a 997.2 Turbo.
