Default Tiptronic or PDK

Trying to decide if I should buy a 2009 911 Turbo with Tiptronic or 2010 911 Turbo with PDK.

Are there any known problems with the early pdk? Is the maintenance more on a pdk vs tiptronic?

Any input would be appreciated.

Better ask in the 997 forum... this is the section for old air-cooled 911s

The PDK is 1000x better than the tiptronic.

But you have to decide... 2009-2010 that is when they made the switch in the engines...

Purely based on engine... 2009 Turbo...

JMHO.........but this is a biggie!!

2009 was the last Mezger engine and thats a very solid, durable, and reliable engine with an excellent record.

2010 was the first year that the 9A1 was installed in the Turbo and the jury is still out on that one.

For me, I'd take the Mezger-engined one in a heartbeat. I can deal with the Tip,...
