Not necessary for a Turbo. It makes much less difference in Turbo compared to taller Porsches (I would not buy a Cayenne without it). If you live where roads are not bad and do not track the car much, you will not see much difference.

I drive my 991.2 TTS on the street with it off, all the time and in all modes. It's simply too stiff.
Haven't done any laps with the 991.2 TTS on track yet, but even then I'm not convinced the tires are good enough for how stiff it makes the suspension and roll control.

The console control with the picture of the 'shock absorber' is not for PDDC; it is for PASM. And yes, turning it on, will make the suspension stiffer in all other modes.

BTW, I drove PDDC and non-PDDC prior to making my decision.

Your comment seems to cast aspersions on observations from those that made a choice about PDDC. If it wasn't mean to cast doubt then perhaps you can explain your original comment?

I apologize, my comments were not intended to make direct aspersions toward anyone's PDDC choices. There are no bad choices!

It's odd that you imply that those who are not invested in it, would be less vocal about it.
What else would you expect exactly, that someone who doesn't have the option would rave about it? Wouldn't that be contradictory to human behavior?
I don't know about you, but when I'm buying a 200K car, I'm not really thinking about spending more or less on options, or trying to justify the expense of the option. If that were the case, I wouldn't be dishing out 200K in the 1st place.
I assume you didn't buy it because you were concerned about the additional expense. That's how your post really reads.
