Another Opinion in the PDK vs. Manual Debate: Top Gear
September 11, 2008
Top Gear has sampled the latest 911, and their verdict? The manual version is the one to get.
It seems their main beef is the same one I’ve had: the stupid little toggle shifters on the steering wheel. Why Porsche didn’t go with more traditional paddles is a mystery to me.
From the review:
So the ‘all-new’ 911 is even more of a joy when sampled with a manual gearbox. A Carrera S manual remains the favoured dream garage specification. The problem for Porsche? Those last two sentences would have read entirely differently if they’d sorted the toggles.
As with most things Top Gear, this review is a good read. Check it out here.
