PDK is just so intuitive and competent on the track. It also wins for daily driving.

For weekend mountain road driving, I’d still take manual.

Slowing down from 110mph on a track with cars all around and then having to worry about nailing a heel toe downshift while concentrating on your brake zones, entry, apex, the jackass in the 3 series passing you on the inside then going way wide during a no pass track session, hitting the paddles and focusing on your zones and line makes it alot of fun.

But for a fun car when just driving around, can't beat a stick.

I don't get that feeling in a traditional FR car.
