Base or S, it doesn't really matter. Just make sure to get a PDK for daily driving.

Base or GTS... that would be another story.

Fixed that for you.

**edit**: I just saw that you live in central FL so perhaps a PDK is best. Here in he Northeast we have roads that to not end with the word "pike".

Doubt I would love it more if it was a S.
But I like the ride, and I am not trying to set any land speed records.
My key feature was 6 speeds only.
I use it as a daily driver .... but I've never had an automatic car.

S because it's more power, brakes etc.
Plus, they are more popular and will be easier to sell later than non-S.

I really like my non S Carrera Cab. However, I will be buying a Turbo Cab next year.

No disrespect, But I think any clean P car is easy to sell.

If anything, the non S should be easier to sell due to the lower price point and larger market. Sure, everyone wants a Ferrari but selling a used one takes time as the higher the price point, the more specialized the customer and the more limited market.

Most people on here daily drive their manual cars/motorcycles, including me.

Drove mine to work today in slacks, and sports jacket and oxfords (gasp!) Would not even consider a PDK.

Actually, most of the world daily drives manual transmission cars. Only in he US is there this obsession with automatic transmissions.

+1. Put perfectly.

Get the S if you can afford the price difference. Both are great cars - one is just a little greater.

PDK is not an automatic transmission. They still make flip phones. Some people like those, guy at work swears by his. Better reception and battery life and feels more like a phone.

OK - just kidding - I will admit to owning a PDK, but my foot still presses the invisible clutch every time I put is key in the left hand side of a car - and I do miss it.

these two statements pretty much sum it up

FYI, S is more than just engine size difference.

Only u can determine what's enough for you

I mean, not everybody can handle an S

Just messing around. Just get the S already.
