These PDK posts always go the same way... Nobody will crap on their choice ;-)
PDK is amazingly good, it is pretty reliable, it is faster. It is also quite expensive when it breaks which is thankfully rare.
Stick is more involving, slightly slower, but requires skill some folks take pride in, it will likely only cost you a clutch every 100K mi or whatever. Think 991R or the return of the GT3 manual. Ultimate performance is not end all be all.
I have heard of some folks getting PDK and going back to manual with 991 and 997s. It happens. I have also heard of folks switching to PDK because that's all you can find anyway, and being very happy (and surprised). 90%+ of cars at the dealer are now PDK.
Again it comes down to your personal reasons. Pure commuter in traffic, easy choice (PDK). Wanna be faster on track or gain 0.2 sec 0-60? Pdk... Want the car as a toy simply to enjoy the driving experience? Like rev matching with your foot ? *I* need a clutch and a stick , your mileage may vary. I can see myself with a stick Cayman/911 and a PDK Macan for commuting, money no object. No wrong answer.
The only truth here is both are geared way to tall... Imagine each gear shorter with a top speed of 150 mph instead if the current 200. Yowsa !
