I had an amazing drive in a 997.2 Tt Manual transmission yesterday.

The car was a perfect fit and I was ready to pull the trigger. Unfortunately, the trade in value for my 997.2 c4s was too low (on account of the 94,000kms I put on in the 20 months since I bought it), and I had to pass.

This means I'll likely end up keeping my c4s ad adding something like a turbo eventually.

This will end up being a 993 Tt if I find the right one, or a new model.

I also drove a turbo s pdk and was frankly quite bored by the experience, so as far as the pdk versus mt debate - that's resolved for me.

There are soft rumors that the 991 turbo will not be offered with a mt option.

Where will that leave people like me? In the market for a new high end manual transmission turbo?

What other cars compare?

 

No need to look outside the Porsche family. Porsche will always offer a manual transmission on their base Turbo model even though there is a trend to go PDK. Porsche recognizes that there is a devoted market for the manual transmission, even if the PDK is more popular. Of course Porsche may not offer the manual on certain models, like the Turbo S, for example. I agree with you-the PDK is boring and I rather row the gears myself

 

Or just add a TPC turbo kit to your c4s.......

 

I think an 09TT 6speed is a perfect car. PDK is boring but that rush off the line w/LC is addicting.
