PDk of PDK or Manual
I know, old topic again: I'm being told that a manual is more fun and has better resale value. I'm considering a 718 Boxster or cab 911. I was leaning toward fully manual, as well, but after driving the PDK I did get some sense of a "manual" shift, and some people these days just aren't good at a fully manual shift vehicle. In addition, 95% of the new cars out there are PDK. So, I'm wondering which really would have greater resale value and which I'd enjoy more. I'm leaning toward full manual shift at this point. I'm not intimidated by the stop and go traffic argument against a manual. I can deal with that. But is the PDK really that much fun? Better? What are your thoughts?
