Legend: 'Sporty' means PDK. 'Comfortable' means manual. PAG's words.

Saw this before and found that statement odd. I think it should be the other way around.

What are they saying, if you want to go slow buy the manual. Obviously they're interested in pushing the PDK model.

What's the first word in the video? Puristic?
Then, "direct, and precise"... " for ultimate (optimum?) connection Of the individual gears". All that refers to the manual. I want that.

What do they say about the PDK? Everything that we already know, but they also throw in that puzzling descriptor: "sportier". Well, that new Fiat is "sporty". A GT3 is not "sporty", it's badass.

Just bc someone says something is "sporty", that doesn't change my opinion...

Also, as a side note, both gear boxes' 1-6 are described as sporty. I think there's an outside chance that comfort applies to the seventh gear.
