That’s the thing the ride quality is absolutely amazing ! Think that’s the benefit of having adaptive dampers and pilot sport 4s Tyres , which always seem to a very nice balance between sporty / sticky and comfort .

Yes yiu are right the budget I had could have bought me a very nice 997.2 ... and I did test drive the 911 and cayman back to back . Night and day for me . Although only separated by 4 years the 997 felt so so old compared to the 981 cayman . The way the 997 felt to drive was no where as good as the cayman and as you say , they are big cars .

Whats next ?

Well I’ve ordered a few bits from Porsche ( embossed arm rest , red seat belts , plus a few other bits ) , the cars still under Porsche approved warranty, so I’ll not be modding it ! They are pretty funny about none standard stuff , right down to the battery needing to be a Porsche one! It’s just had a new one fitted @ £490!!! Ouch

Yep completely agree on the battery ... it’s a joke ! ( lucky for me I didn’t have to buy it !) If you put a none gen one in it voids the whole warranty! I new this before purchasing a Porsche hoping it would stop me spending obscene amounts of money on upgrades / mods . I reckon in the last 4-5 years I’ve spent around 1k a month on mods. .... what I didn’t plan for was all the nice Porsche parts you can get , hahaha

Aha, thought that might be the case, cheers.
