I'm considering a new 997S and I'm not sure if I should go for a Automatic or manual shift.

Currently we have three cars, two of them are automatic, the Porsche still a manual. I really like driving the manual, but my wife doesnt like it at all. Anyway - decision is up to me, so what keeps me away from getting automatic is:

- lack of power?
- Automatic seems to be out of date technique (5-gear, slow shift speed, etc.) compared to 7G Mercedes or BMWs new ZF 6 Gear Tranni?
- Sound... yes... sound when accelerarting is in my opinion awful?
- resell... more difficult in Germany?

Are those points I mentioned feasable or am I completley wrong (especially in the out of date question).

That's easy, Lars.

current 997S --> manual
facelifted 997S --> PDK
