A mate has a Cayman (an S, I think) and I have to say it destroys most stuff on the road. Great poise and deals brilliantly with the appalling roads surfaces we have locally. 'Clinically efficient' is the label I would put on it.

Fair play, I think when I sell the S2000 I'll go for a Boxster, really like the 987 but the new one is stunning. Unfortunately at the moment the 981 is out of my price range so I'll have to wait a couple more years.

It's so huuuuuge.

I saw a 986 facelift the other say and remembered why I liked it so much.

Like the MX-5, I think they're gradually losing something in translation/evolution.

More than enough power in the 2.7, but with the extras in the S, the (hopefully) slightly better residuals, a £5k discount off list, and the feeling of stupid amounts of power - the S won it.

Hopefully pick it up on Friday.

Bye bye licence.....
Great news - I know you will have fun in it

Agate grey with black interior.

Not got it yet! Pics will be up on the weekend hopefully.

Have to say, the Cayman was manual and tremendously fun to drive. Was tempted to turn down the PDK, but think that in 3 years time, this will translate into resale suicide.
