Good evening all. I have certainly enjoyed reading the posts on the Cayman section. You all seem really pleased with the car.
Without sounding like a "cheap skate" I have struggled to find certain "user based - real world" infor regarding the Cayman s.
I am looking at spending around 20-25k on a car and have seen some very nice examples advertised....but info regarding real world servicing costs, actuall (driven spiritedly) fuel economy coupled with actual drivers experience of tyre wear and frequency of replacment would be very much appreciated.
I realise that everybody is different with their driving, but a rough idea would be very helpful to me....especially from the more "enthusiatic" drivers, shall we say.
Currently I own a 99 plate ST24 that I have had since it was 5 months old....without boring you, my ex managed to make sure I have ended up keeping the car a lot longer than I wanted to, but due to some inheritance money, I now find myself in a position to splash out a little bit.
I have also considered an M3, but do feel that it may not be as good a deal as a 2nd hand S and certainly not as evocative.
If any of you fine folk have had both, I would appreciate an honest comparrison if possible, as it is a lot of money to spend on the "wrong car for me"....be that either the M3 or the S. Oh, no kids so two seats are fine as well.
I appreciate anybodys time for reading this and especially if you could help guide me along a little with my questions.
Cheers folks.
Rob.
