So which is the better car?

Looking for something fun to enjoy the sunshine. It will be mostly for hooning around my local rural lanes.

Opinions please....

Is the RS60 going to be a manual or tiptronic?

If the latter then I'd certainly go with the Gen2 PDK

Out of the two you won't have more fun on country roads unless you are in an amazing RS60 Spyder... wink

I ran an RS60 for nearly three years which considering I generally change my car every year makes it a record for me.
As mentioned above if you are going for a manual car then its fine because it has all the good bits on it if thats what you want as it's quite difficult finding a car with that spec.
If you like an auto then a later PDK car would be a better choice. I remember someone on here once describing an RS60 as a parts bin special which I thought was a bit of a juvenile commen,t the RS60 is a nice thrashable car and I for one liked the PASM set-up.

Spot on... The negative comments usually come from those who have not driven the cars or do not know how to drive.

Ran mine for 5.5 years with not one issue and all 50k miles were incredible fun. The only official 'Limited Edition' plaqued car in the 987 series too.

I have an RS60 and absolutely love it. As mentioned it is a great thrashable car and loads of fun. Also have a couple of other decent cars including a 996 GT3 CS but am never disappointed when I drive it and often take it out as first choice.
