I found in the previous two 5 speeds that Ive owned highway driving was annoying. They were not porsches though. Passing at cruising speeds, you never really had enough power in 4th, and 3rd was too much juice. Stoplight to stoplight it was the best, but I feel like 6 speeds are the perfect amount for a daily driver. Weekend car... 5 speed definitely has its advantages especially if you dont like shifting gears very often.

Porsche T PTV
Too often I see ignorant comments here and in the press about the T claiming that it's all marketing since they could have gone lighter, used a different engine, included the S brakes etc. But the fact is this - Porsche gave us a gift by providing us with a cheaper way to get all of the good handling options.
That is all.
PS - Mine can't get here soon enough!

Q.
Porsche have made a lot about the PTV and manual transmission but all the characteristics lend themselves to the pdk box too and relative to a pdk Standard car the weight gains and dynamics still apply. However, no where do Porsche clarify if the pdk option includes PTV plus (as standard on the S). I presume this is included and will be disappointed to learn it is not upon delivery (May). Any of you US pdk fanboys made the enquiry. Not one of the reviews I have read or watched and Porsche’s own literature fails to clarify this point.
I am interested to hear from anyone enlightened on this matter.

PTV
porsche have now confirm that there is no PTV with PDK on Model T. It is deleted when you select PDK option. This raises a question as the car purchase price is no different. I am juggled and will take up upon delivery as none of this was explained and Porsche sales staff have not been briefed particularly well about this car. There was confusion with tinted gorilla glass option too.
Thank you for your interest.

The info I obtained confirming this was from porsche but not in response to my email to germany. Still no response after 2 tries (first one was a month ago). I would consider this conclusion definitive unless I hear otherwise, in which case I will post further communication from Porsche here.

Why isn't there a credit if rear seats and/or PCM are not selected (in UK) ? 
I selected rear seats, PCM and heated rear screen with standard glass. All free options!

Pdk version will still be bad as$ just for the chassis options and special interior options.

And a bit quicker! But I'm loving my 7-speed manual transmission!
I read a recent review of the T by a very well respected motoring journalist. He said he'd choose PDK for a T. And it would be very nearly as quick as a GT3 with MT on the 0-60 dash!
