Call the fashion police. Awful.
We're up to 5. Still no logic to the pricing. I guess with such a short production run there'll be little correlation between age of the car and value. But, still no logic to the pricing[&:] Also, PC Wilmslow car dropped to roughly what it was before they put the price up[&:] (dropped before this new car appeared) Porsche Boxster Spyder, £ 37,990 Transmission:Manual Colour

Has he been watching the weather forecast closely and decided to get a Cayenne with snow chains instead?
ORIGINAL: flat6 I nearly bought a PDK Spyder when they were selling like hot cakes and I had to be prepared to take any car that ticked the right boxes. I was leaning towards a manual at that time and am happy with the one i've found. Although, I do think i'll do some more drives in some PDK cars though to get the niggle out of my system as to whether i've made the right choice for the long term. I still think that manual is the better option for me, but for some reason I keep asking myself the question[&:]
With some nice PDK cars coming onto the market, it's time to make up my mind...[8|] I read about 2 Boxster Spyder owners who pulled up next to each other at the traffic lights (what are the chances of that!) and decided to do some drag races. One had a manual car and the other PDK. They quickly compared their cars for weight difference. Mr Manual had sports seats but Mr PDK had carbon fibre bucket seats. However Mr Manual was about the size of Bernie Ecclestone whilst Mr PDK was the size of Flavio Briatore, so they figured they were about even [ORIGINAL: rob.kellock I think you know the answer whilst you have a Spyder. I found PDK on a 987 a bit disappointing at times - sports mode was a bit aggressive in traffic, sports plus mode way too OTT on the public road and normal mode too keen to go into the highest possible gear at the earlisest possible opportunity. It wasn't as smooth as a traditional auto either. Oh, and it really disliked reversing up a steep hill when a Range Rover couldn't squeeze past me on a narrow lane in the Lakes. On the other hand, 90% of the time it was bloody brilliant. I found it better in the 981s and 991s that I've driven and would almost certainly choose it on either of those cars.
Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPC's!???[&:] So just to keep this thread going does that mean if we drop to Zero for sale at OPC's yours will be offered on the forecourt Rob?[ORIGINAL: rob.kellock Although may I refer the honourable gentleman to post #1. daro911 started all this 10000 hits ago when there were only 5 cars in the matrix.

i think that most of us who have driven pdk 987/997 and 981/991 would agree that pdk in the newer cars is a different animal altogether .far more impressive and really the default option i think-it allows you to do the manual thing if you want to and the downblips are very clever
Thank the lord for that [ORIGINAL: flat6 I can finally put my personal PDK vs manual debate to bed[]
Yes the PDK is quicker but in the real world there are so many factors that impact the readiness to set off. But, even to 62 I wouldn't challenge a PDK to a race either (unless he wasn't 'ready'[ORIGINAL: rob.kellockThank the lord for that [ORIGINAL: flat6 I can finally put my personal PDK vs manual debate to bed[]

] I think in the real world, your Mr PDK would annihilate Mr Manual from every set of lights, nobody drives their own manual car so harshly as to match published 0-60 times.

If you train yourself to left foot brake,then hold the car with left foot on the brake,engage 1st ,give a bit of throttle & as the lights change gun the motor & release left foot. Not much beats me off the line in the BMW using this technique,even though it's a diesel,weighs nearly 2 tonnes & has done 207K+ miles. I fully disengage the DSC function-(hold button in for over 16 secs until yellow triangle goes out) & manually select 1st .
