Thanks for posting.
To date, the only negatives are poor rear visibility, golf bag no longer fits in rear trunk, and maybe the electric parking brake. (Laz, how do you feel about the latter?)
OTOH, it DOES everything better, has an apparently richer looking interior, a better ride, and more room in the cabin. And to many (most), it's better-looking.
Guenter, DON'T READ THIS: I wouldnt necessarily balk at the idea of owning PDK (and I`ve ALWAYS had a manual transmission in anything even remotely resembling a sports car).
Have gotten used to the parking brake, but Laz - Friday, 4 January, 2013, at 2:40:34 pm |

Is that real? Why?
GiO describes the situation pretty well... Laz - Friday, 4 January, 2013, at 3:13:39 pm |
NB: Straight back visibility is fine without the factory mesh, or with Pedro's clear panel. Laz - Saturday, 5 January, 2013, at 3:37:39 pm |
Could partly be because the seat is lower *NM* Boxsterra - Friday, 4 January, 2013, at 7:49:39 pm |
Yes, could be, but also see my "GiO..." comment, above. *NM* Laz - Saturday, 5 January, 2013, at 3:19:02 pm |

Some might even feel at least one of those ($3K) could enhance the driving experience db997S - Friday, 4 January, 2013, at 10:44:06 am |

To go along with your steak analogy--po-tay-toe/po-tah-toe. Or, to each his own on PDK. Same with power seats. If you have multiple drivers, it's nice that each has their own key and memory settings for the seats and the side-view mirrors. This, too, can "enhance" the driving experience as the seat and mirrors are in your most comfortable positions, so you don't have to constantly adjust them to find the best position as you are carving up those curves. I like my car to be like the baby bear's chair, just right.

Funny, just yesterday I had a new battery put in my Swiss Army watch, Laz - Friday, 4 January, 2013, at 2:44:45 pm |
And a watch rebuild mikefocke, '01S Sanford, NC - Friday, 4 January, 2013, at 2:49:46 pm |
Yep. I keep in mind value and cost aren't necessarily bound. *NM* Laz - Friday, 4 January, 2013, at 3:16:06 pm |
Rolex sub rebuild after 25 years cost 20 percent more than the watch did new. Worth every penny. *NM* JackintheBoxster - Friday, 4 January, 2013, at 3:56:26 pm |

To those who have made a study of this problem, so you see Porsche doing something in next year's or later's model years to fix it?
Perhaps the rear window's bottom edge can be lowered by an inch or so. *NM* Laz - Sunday, 6 January, 2013, at 9:36:03 am |
Wouldn't that also require a redesign of the roof for a lower lowered position? Guenter in Ontario - Sunday, 6 January, 2013, at 11:01:33 am |
For that, yes. But it would help somewhat when the top is up. *NM* Laz - Sunday, 6 January, 2013, at 12:22:19 pm |

So you mean the bottom of the rear window could be lower because Guenter in Ontario - Sunday, 6 January, 2013, at 11:52:34 pm |
Oui. Even though the bottom of the window and the top of the roll bar center are... Laz - Monday, 7 January, 2013, at 9:52:13 am |
