    997.2 PDK steering feel

    Some say that the new 997.2 PDK steering is numb. What's the consensus of Rennteam.com 997.2 owners on this, particularly owners who came from 997.1.

    Is there a difference in feel between the 997.2 PDK steering and the 997.2 manual tranny steering? If there is a difference in steering feel what's the reason? different steering design or different steering wheel feeling (as the PDK steering wheel is thicker)?

    Re: 997.2 PDK steering feel

    Tony, I get a feeling someone is thinking about getting a P-car again. Am I correct ?

    Drove a standard 997 PDK (with standard rims/tires, no PASM) yesterday: the steering is excellent, a bit better than that of a M3 for example. The steering feel is rather heavy (which I like as it gives you much better feed-back than - for example - the rather light steering feel of a Ferrari). Precision and feed-back are excellent. No need to worry, if you ask me

    He should do so

    Porsche did such a great job on the 997 FL. Great cars indeed

    Re: 997.2 PDK steering feel

    Whilst I've not owned a 997.1 to compare against, I had an E46 M3 and my biggest critism was the lack of feeling/general weight of the steering....

    Porsche IMO have this spot on (PDK or standard wheel). I drove the V8 M3 and it's still no way near as good! I like the fact that the steering has some weight to it.

    Cheers

    Re: 997.2 PDK steering feel

    I found the steering feel of the 997.2-PASM to be the same as the 997.1-PASM, no noticeable difference for me. Its improved over the 996, and though not as good as the 997-20mm, its still excellent.
