I would REALLY like to know what you make of it compared to the S3. Obviously the cayman has mega prestige but id be very interested in your comparison in handling/power etc!

Both look lovely!

power wise it hard to tell because the cayman is sooooo different to a hatch back , i would say the power is slighty under the stage 1 s3 but every thing else the cayman does is outstanding , the steering , gear change , the noise i could go on but handling is the cayman s forte , i dont think much on the road will touch it on the twisties  :happy2:

No, goes up for sale as soon as the V5 is back from the plate going on retention.

Had a 135i wobble again after driving one and the 4 seats (well, it looks like 4) appeases her indoors, but main focus is pork. I'll deal with the grief.

This is the perfect Cayman for me. Really love those wheels and the colour.

I think you made a mistake. The S3 was much better.
That Porsche looks absolute rubbish.

Mmmn, Cayman. But is it an "S"?

Does the S always have "Cayman S" on the back? Does it have PASM?

Ian has the cayman and stoke has the S version and yes the S is always on the back if its an S  :smiley:
Title: Re: the S3 has gone........
Post by: tony_danza on June 09, 2010, 04:48:35 pm
PASM is an option - gives a Sport switch for adaptiveness and other goodies.

I wanted the same wheels as candy, and the same colour, but.........................  Well happy.

Not happy with the Sh1tty exhaust, Porsche are sorting that. 


What extras did you get Candy?  Glad you are happy with it.

Title: Re: the S3 has gone........
Post by: candy turbo on June 09, 2010, 09:01:51 pm
mine is just the cayman but it came all the porsche "sport " extra s , the exhaust , the suspension and sports seats and the light weight 19 "carrera rims which for me is better than sat nav and phone prep !
 i m loving it , so different to drive than any hatchback , its a proper focused sports car , with the sport springs and dampers it a bit hard but i like it like that  :happy2:

Its already started with the latest rounds of car prices! Cheap slow small cars will continue to be cheap, premium and faster cars will only get more expensive :(

....I love most Porsches too, and the Cayman very nicely fits between the Boxster and 9-series. But any Porsche and Golf are such totally different cars - The porky is much more 2-seater performance orientated and the Golf is such an outstanding allrounder - Such different machines.
