Mood sensing? Mine is explicit... . I get in, it asks what I am in the mood for, I push a button or two, move the shifter over, and my mood improves immediately.

And with the natural leather, it sometimes tries to change my mood. Haven't decided my position on that feature. But I admit to not having declined yet.

I'd be happy with either trans, and I've been a manual guy since 1965. I really enjoyed driving the PDK on a test drive, and originally ordered a 991 with PDK; but happenstance lured me to another car that I fell in love with, and it happened to have a manual trans. I love the MN too. But I'd be happy with either.
