PDK PADDLES a must!!
#16
I never thought I would get a 911 without a "traditional" manual, bit I did. Then I thought the PDK buttons would be another hurdle to overcome. I was wrong again.
I simply can't get over how much I like them and have absolutely no desire to mod to the paddles.
I will probably be upgrading my steering wheel to add the multifunction, but not the paddles.

ok....I probably am really enthused about the paddles.. they are a must for me . I enjoyed the buttons for daily driving... but i did however find them a little backward in the shifting. In hard braking I wanted to push them forward to downshift....

I think that the original PAG design makes sense. Unconventional? Perhaps, but PAG is often unconventional. In any case, there's a choice now, pick the one you like.

I believe that most who have the paddles have driven both setups .
Who (on this thread) who opposes the paddles has driven them ? If so how many miles or hours ?
It's one thing to be content with buttons and quite another to go beyond it and oppose the paddles --especially since now Porsche offers both , and so do most of the other double clutch manufacturers.

This might be a first, not sure, but I agree adias .

But... with PDK you may trail brake and shift at the apex and for that buttons are priceless.
People bumping into buttons do not have proper steering wheel holding technique. I never accidentally shift (up or down) w/ the buttons. Any tool can be learned and used properly.

You do not shift gears at the apex in a hair pin/tight turn. Trailbraking or not. You get you gear selection done before that and most of your braking done before turn in. You do not trail brake every turn....it truely depends on the turn.
Proper steering wheel holding technique is 3 and 9 with your thumbs on the spoke of the wheel and you pull down on the wheel to turn. The buttons are in the way of proper steering wheel technique and it is easy to upshift the car with the meat of your hand by the inside of your thumb.

If you like a Mustang wheel that is, as that wheel seems straight from the Mustang parts bin.

Tells you how truly ugly the switch wheel is with that awful Volcano Gray plastic trim. I'd rather have a Ford replica. Now, replace the plastic with leather, add multifunction, heat and paddles. That would make me happy

I agree the paddles are better
