The one thing that can be said without (much) controversy is that no matter which one you get, there will be times when you wish you had the other one.

I was hell bent on buying a manual 991.1. Since I wanted a non black non white car that already limited the available cars drastically. When I found a car that ticked most of the boxes I had PPI done and DME reports came back with over revs in range 4 or worse. This happened three times over a time span of 9 months. Long story short. I bought a PDK car and I’m happy. I have other sport cars with manual transmission so I simply use them when I feel the need to exercise my left leg. YMMV.

Even if I was working, I would not waste a Porsche in stop 'n go traffic, be it a manual or PDK.

Sort of reminds me of the driver of a Lamborghini Countach Aventador who was going back and forth on a touristy street on the Gold Coast in Australia...at 30 mph, if that. I guess he needed to be seen.

I on the other hand am on a country back road having fun.
