So I understand how you might not like the way PDK rushes to get through the gears but if Im driving spirited I just put it in manual and use the paddles or the shifter. At that point I think the trans is quite good. What am I missing here

 

absolutely nothing. ( just the automotive equivalent of "you damn kids get off my lawn!" )

 

The "rush" is the car being efficient. This is why it has manual, sport & sport+. Damn I love my PTT!

 

I have heard feedback from friends that they think pdk makes it too easy and takes the fun out of the driving experience... then they get in for a drive and eat their words 😂

 

I understand the reason why it rushes up the gears but it does make the car somewhat pedestrian, thats why I run in manual or use the paddles to control it more to my liking. When its out of auto its my favorite car.

 

SPORT mode definitely helps!

 

I love sport +, but my gas gauge doesn't

 

Not sure my car knows life not in sport mode.

 

Same - I always run in sport except for a long highway drive when I want smoothest ride possible I will switch to normal mode. That's abut the only time.

 

True that. Thankfully Turbo has 26.4 gallons on tap.

 

Is PDK hate really still a thing? It's been around for 11 years.

 

Maybe in the Corvette/LS world - but those guys are a unique crowd.

 

Hate is a strong word but I really think it’s poor, but mine is a 2010 so I’m sure it better now.

then again drive a Ferrari or Lambo and you’ll think PDK came from a Yugo...
