JayEmm Drives the 987 Cayman S

You'd only have yourself to blame, it's one of the fundamentals if you're checking running costs.

It's one of the reasons I went for my S: it's pre march 2006 so it's "only" £400 to tax. The really mean one is the 2.7 with 6 speed 'box option: that misses the CO2 bracket by 1 gramme and attracts full whack tax like an S!

As for the bore scoring: mine had a new short block fitted by Porsche at 48k miles in 2018 for excessive smoke.

As for the video, I can never decide how much of a 'sport' or 'sport design' model is cynical marketing, of if they'd pass an honest double blind test in driving. I get that they're in a desirable package but things like the missing binnacle cowl seem to have been Done for the sake of it and are actually detrimental to the car.

The R is obviously a different beast.
