So basically the manual one because of his unfamiliarity with the PDK? Pretty much every other comparison has the PDK as quicker.
Plato demonstrating his own inadequacies and prejudices. He was going to do a slower lap before he even started.
The PDK Transmission is the best thing since Sliced Bread, FANTASTIC Component. I believe it outsells the Manual trans in the USA at least.
Jason was never in love or comfotable with the auto model so went slower in it. Manual is more fun of course but PDK/DSG/S-tronic is proven quicker than manual
Its embarrassing that a well-known car magazine (channel, whatever) doesn't know that you let PDK do the shifting. Fail.
PDK has shorter gearing and 1 extra ratio.. That plus quicker shifts.. It's a quicker car with better economy. Boring though!
If that is so ,why do they have flappy padels?
1st gen pdk is so overrated.
Automatic cars suck!
I have a BMW 323i with just 200hp and I still prefer the manual for driving. It's not even about power delivery or performance, it's just the extra bonus of the driving experience.
zdrux i drive a 75hp clio yet when im revving the engine to death and then slamming into the next gear i feel like im in some fast and furious shit!
It’s not the car it’s the driver
and now the PDK is probably the best automatic gearbox in the world.
I think he should have just put it in automatic mode and not worried about shifting. That would have been a better comparison between the manual and PDK. If he had let the car do the shifting for him the PDK would probably have been faster like it is in Porsche's other cars that came with both transmissions.
better yet he should have hired a professional driver who actually knows how to drive the car.
In California and crappy LA traffic, automatic (tiptronic) all the way.
Supercars and hypercars should have a DCT for insane performance. But affordable sports cars like this should be a manual. Sometimes, the driving experience triumphs raw numbers.
Golf R Audi S3 dsg/stronic these are good and I never thought I’d love or own an auto. But after driving a van all day it’s a joy to sit back and relax and let the car do it’s thing. Or pop it into manual and listens to the pops as you change gear. Awesome cars.
Does anyone know what track this is?
Total agree with you Jason , as a racing driver the pdk is counter intuitive..
I own a 2.7 manual, and never even considered anything else. PDK would kill the entire driving experience IMO.
Paddle shifters are best
Auto for my daily driver but my Boxster has to be stick. Auto in a sports car, why?
Is this even a real question?
Miss you guys
New 718 please
ALWAYS MANUAL !

If you truly wanted a solid result you would have let 2-3 drivers drive both cars and get their times. This driver is clear overly biased against semi-auto transmissions and won't drive it as well as he does with the manual.
And he's a twat
then in the next gen cayman the pdk kicks the ass of the manual
Time for some seat time…
The manual transmission is easy to learn, difficult to master.
I actually have a lot of pseudo-enthusiast friends who drive manuals, many of them daily. And of them I am the only one who actually knows how to heel-to-toe downshift...some of them haven't even heard of it.
There is something very satisfying about driving a manual on a windy road, or track and getting it just right.
Driving a good auto can still be fun, but it's like playing a game on easy mode...don't expect anyone to think highly of you for winning.
Manual Porsche vs Manual Porsche. Don't use the paddle shift bro, just let the computer decide which gear. The automatic dual clutch transmission should be faster than manual
If you want a pure track weapon, get the manual, if you want a daily drive that's fun, get the auto.
Thing is. The PDK is much faster on track. Only the baboon in this video can’t handle it.
glad strip like likely heaven traffic pleasure share chronic community.
manual is the best for racers🚙⛽
Veeresh Veeresh unfortunatly nowadays pdks own manuals because the pdk has lost lots of weight
want to tell F1 drivers that
Terrible review.
A Manuel makes the driver one with the car.A lot more fun too.Auto's are for lazy driver's.
Manual is safer
Driver error
It's got to be Manuel all the way.Automatics are for lazy driver's. It takes the skill away from the drive for me ;)
Warren Blanch right. because it takes so much skill to drive down to the corner store to buy some milk.
Warren Blanch it depends how you drive.
The manual trans is easy to learn, difficult to master.

Tiptronic and PDK Porsche's are for punters. Buy an maual Porsche or if you really want a automatic, get a Buick.
