Hi Guys
I'm new to Porsche, but have always wanted one.
I'm now ready to buy one as a weekend car and can't make my mind up over the 997 gen 1 turbo manual vs the gen 2 pdk.
I've done the web searches, trawled through the forums, and lots of people have quite polar opinions.
Lots of threads are old now, so I just wondered if anyone has any thoughts.
My budget is 60-65k, which means I can pick up a low mileage gen 1 manual or a medium mileage gen 2 pdk.
Does the gen one feel dated to drive? compared to gen 2?
Is the gen 1 Mezger engine more special? - I know it has racing pedigree, which makes it very desirable and collectible for some.
Is the PDK too easy? My daily drive is an E class AMG saloon with 550bhp, very fast but slightly un-involving.
Would welcome and value some comments,
cheers
Asad
