I suspect the best option if you want to go Cayman S, is to get a used previous generation with hydraulic steering as a second car. |

I agree with the op, I would go for a previous generation cayman R (not s) over the new model. Can't beat that amazing steering feel with the hydraulic set up.

I was in the market for one a year or so ago. I found a handful, one with 4k miles for 68k but didn't have sport exhaust and sport chrono (deal breaker). Sport chrono sharpens throttle response and make the car rev similar to the m3.
I test drove a few of them and I was in love. The best manual transmission I've ever experienced. Throws so fast it will make believers out of dct/Pdk fans. At the end of the day I went for what I really wanted at the time, a gt3. Last edited by KKM3; 07-29-2013 at 10:59 PM.. |

Secondly, and more of an issue, is the feedback. As you know, the Porsche engineers designed a computer program to "filter out" unwanted road feedback thru the steering wheel. I, as do others, feel they made a mistake. The steering is too isolated, and really doesn't tell you what the front wheels are doing, and you don't get that super-tingly feeling that makes great sports car steering. So when I say drive differently, it means I have to rely more on trusting the car to go where my eyes tell it to go, without getting the response through the wheel that confirms the car understands what I'm asking it to do. I know this may seem vague, but the car talks back less to me this way, and makes driving less enjoyable. |
