PDK Drivers - Auto, Manual, Semi-Auto?

[FONT=&quot]We are still waiting on our Cayman and have had only had 3 extended drives, however I drive an S-Tronic (nothing like PDK) dual clutch Audi and it took me many months to get used to the switch from a manual, which I had resisted chaging to for a long time, however the desire for all wheel drive Quattro pushed me down this road. I am still not 100% converted, but eventually I have found a semi-auto driving style I am happy with; typically using the paddles for downshifts rather than heavy braking and using full locked manual on the motorway. For spirited driving I go mostly paddle over-rides, again mostly for downshifts into corners etc, then allowing the auto to take on the up-shifts. I love it for crawling traffic and normal day to day A to B driving.

[FONT=&quot]I am interested to hear from those who have much greater experience than me with PDK as to how they typically drive. Have you accepted PDK knows best or adopted a sinilar approach to me? If you came from manual did you too you struggle with the change?

[FONT=&quot]Those who have had extended ownership - have you changed over time how you drive a PDK?

I use auto but use the downshift paddle to keep out of 7TH gear unless I'm cruising above 75 mph.
