Normal mode in the neighborhood, Sport mode on the road (suspension and exhaust follow suit).

Never use Sport Plus day to day because the ride is way too harsh and you lose 7th gear, plus, it’s designed for a track anyhow.

I switched to a heated multifunction from the SportDesign wheel because a heated wheel is great, steering wheel volume is great, and controlling the tft with a little mouse wheel is great.

Sport mode and letting it do the shifting, but I have the crappy multi-function wheel with the silly buttons on my 991.1, and I can’t use the shifter for shifting since Porsche installed the stupid thing backwards in the Carrera and apparently there is no easy way to fix it. Two very stupid mistakes Porsche made on an otherwise very enjoyable car.

Automatic normal for stop and go city traffic and smooth highway driving. Manual sport plus for speeds up to 70 km/hr, manual sport for speeds over 70 (in order to access 7th gear if I want to save some ga$). I really enjoy manual mode as it reminds me of when I learned to use the paddle shifters on the old SEGA GP Monaco arcade game! I am rarely in sport plus in automatic. Actually I just had the car into the dealer and they reflashed the ecu so that the auto transmission doesn’t shift anymore at the redline but around 4-5k now. This is good for the street, but would be mad and have it undone if I tracked the car!

Auto in sports mode. I have an aftermarket module that starts the car in the last mode it was operated on, so I don’t have to select sports mode when I start it up.

Auto mode. Normal if wet or snow, sport if dry. At first I tried to do my own shifting, but figured out that it’s better to just use the mode switch and sport response button to tell the car what to do. It will shift better than me.

if you’re driving in manual mode, what does sport plus give you that sport doesn’t?

I drive in auto and only put in sport mode when I’m on a twisty road where I can really drive it. Have not tracked this car, yet. First experience with PDK and I love it.

As soon as I got my car, I replaced the steering wheel with the Sport Design wheel because I intended to shift manually. And I did for a few weeks. But then I tried auto and I never really looked back. Nowadays I drive mostly in auto, regular.

I might shift manually on track if I still went to the track but, even on track. PDK learns very quickly the right gear.

While the car warms up - sport auto

Once warm - sport manual

If I’m lazy but feeling excited - sport plus auto lol

981 base cayman, no sport crono.

Using auto, sport mode off until oil temp is above 80c then either auto without sport or manual. Rarely use auto and sport for some reason.

I warm up in manual mode. My PDK is an early version - 2010 997.2 - and I find that in regular auto mode it takes far too long to warm up, because the car is in 5th or 6th gear at only 1400 rpm on my normal commute.

So I use manual, and a gentle throttle, but I hold the gear until 2500 rpm initially, then 3000 rpm after a couple of kilometres until the oil temp comes off the stop, then I often use sport mode and auto from then on.

Start car, turn dial to Sport mode. Always.

I generally leave it in auto, but will pull a paddle every once in a while. Not really needed, as sport mode is pretty damn telepathic as far as I’m concerned.

Sport Mode 99.9% of the time (991 Turbo S). Occasionally use the flappy paddles if the road is very twisty and I’m in the mood.

I don’t have sport yet. So auto, regular.

Auto, regular. 2017 Turbo S. Never driven around in sport plus because I dont want the front spoiler deployed. Low enough without having something else down to hit bumps. Only used it on track/controlled surfaces.
