I'm not based in UK (not sure if/why that is important), but I have ordered an 981S with manual. Test-drove both PDK and manual. Had a Golf V GTI with DSG, which was fantastic, but after a while the novelty wore off. Opted for manual purely for more involvement, even though I know I will be slower (than PDK). But hell, I'm buying it for driving enjoyment, not to set fastest laps at the 'Ring.

I did have an "S" PDK test drive for an afternoon, and although it probably makes sense if you drive mainly in an urban area, the lack of real involvement was not for me, and I have to say the manual box is quite superb. Also, the partial leather is perfectly satisfactory and I saw no point in the extra cost of full leather.

Love yellow Porsche's but the yellow interior options are too OTT for me.

No offence to anyone  but seeing all these 981's together has confirmed just how much like a Mk3 Mr2 these things are!

 Here's an image of a 981 I wasn't expecting to see quite so soon.  Looks like a gremlin as it sorted itself out with a reboot. Anybody else seen this?

Thanks for the warning. My 981 has done a similar mileage, but not seen your brake problem, yet.
