Turbo without even thinking twice. I had an 06 C2S before (manual) and though a great car it does not even touch the turbo in any aspect imho.

An 07 Turbo in excellent condition/low miles would be the way to go IMO. I would test drive both and see what stirs the soul. Spending some time behind the wheels of these cars will bring you to your answer. The big question you have to ask yourself is: Is PDK that much more desirable to you to offset all the advantages the Turbo brings to the table?

I say just drive both cars. I did. The C2S is a great car, but it leaves you desiring more. Then you drive the Turbo, and you immediately know when the boost comes alive. Be aware- do not, but do not drive a turbo PDK.....you will end up buying it.

Hi, I am a new 07 turbo owner and I'd like to hear more about this. The amount of effort for me to depress the clutch pedal seems to change from day to day... Is this a known issue?
