This has been beaten to death. I prefer the current dual paddles in the 997.2 PDK because either paddle, no matter where it is on the wheel circle always does the same thing - push to upshift, pull to downshift. Therefore, I always know that if I pull either paddle it will downshift. With L/R paddles, on a tight turn with the wheel turned 180deg, the L paddle is now on the right and that is confusing...

Fair enough. Sorry if I'm not here long enough to know its been beaten to death. I see this is personal preference then. I've gotten used to drive an AUDI TTS which had the paddles shift setup just like the new 911 Turbo. So I prefer it over the 'buttons'.

I think that the '10 Turbo steering wheel has dual paddles standard. The L/R paddle is an (extra cost) option across the line, including the Turbo.

I think its the other way around according to this source. But then maybe different for the US.

I think that they are wrong. BTW... the dual paddle L/R paddle controversy was started by car journalists such as this one. These guys do not own these cars, they jump from car to car and therefore get used to the common denominator and that is not necessarily good. It takes some serious seat time to appreciate a system with a specific interface. Remember Beta? VHS won but Beta was better.
