Hi,
Locked down the order on my Cayman S, deposit placed early May and scheduled delivery for early December- can't wait.
Not quite my first Porsche, had a 944S2 in mid 90's but the arrival of a child meant that it had to go. Always wanted a Cayman so really looking forward to taking delivery.
Has been an interesting time to buy due to the changeover from NA to turbo engines. Have driven 981, 718 Boxster S PDK, 718 Boxster manual and 718 Cayman manual before going for 718s PDK. None had the sports exhaust so not sure how it will sound- obviously nowhere near as good as 981 but as an overall package the 718 is a much better car(in my opinion) as it has more power and massively more torque which makes the performance more usable/fun more of the time.
Initially there was a bit of hysteria by the motoring press mainly by autocar/auto express who seemed to regard a 4 cylinder turbo engine as the 'devils work' and saying how it had ruined the car. I think that people should drive the car and form their own opinion rather than be led by motoring journo's who don't actually buy and drive these cars on a daily basis. The recent reviews have been more measured. No doubt this debate will run and run!
