How light is the 718 manual clutch?
Discussion
Considering buying as new as possible base Cayman to run for another 20 years before they switch to crap EV. After the initial warranty expires I would prefer NOT to run the expensive extended warranty.
Whilst I do love a PDK one of the reasons for extending the (reasonably priced) warranty and keeping in the (expensive) OPC network is to hedge against expensive component failure of the PDK ; I'd plan to keep and run the car for as long as possible. A manual is probably cheaper and easier to fix (and more reliable?) but how easy is it to drive around town, I do occasionally have the temerity to visit the Capital for which a PDK is effortless. Yes I know I should test drive but always useful to gauge feedback here as well.
Otherwise the cars seem quite reliable if you avoid the chrono dynamic engine mounts, but the GPF would be a bit of a concern. Presumably your local 'mechanic' could replace with an empty box once the warranty expires.
