Why would it be a "no no" Cayman R PDK was one of the best handling cars I've ever owned, I worried about manual vs PDK when I bought it but soon dispelled once driven. Test drive it and see for yourself.

down to what you want I guess I have them alland love them all as much on different days, the Spyder gets the least use as due to the roof etc.
The R is just a connected car, right feel, right performance etc etc. I have had 2 as I missed my 1st one loads. I have too many cars though so it cannot stay like this for me.
All mine are full OPC history, but no warranty as I like to run my own tyre brand and battery. they don't need warranty imo, But any car I sell would be sold with an up to date OPC 111 check which I would pay for.

MrDemon said:.........if you want PDK gen 2 is light years better.
As a lifelong manual man, and having moved from a manual Cayman R to a Gen 2 PDK 718 Cayman S with all the right bits, you are absolutely correct David.
As a track day day driver, I would not now choose a manual over the latest evo of the PDK. It's brilliant.......and faster......and even more satisfying. Believe me!
Gen 2 PDK enables the driver to concentrate on the lines and carrying speed through the corners. I'm a convert from the manual now. Never thought I'd be saying this.

After 8,000 CR miles in the past year and 600 CS miles in the past twelve days ... oh yes.
