I drove a Cayman S from Edinburgh to Nottingham and returned the same day with a Jaguar F-Type S V6. The Jaguar was way way better than the Porsche.
In what way?

Yes, I have found that the background noise - particularly tyre noise - on the Porsche becomes wearing. So loud that it's hard to use the integrated phone.
The F type feels like an exec on that sort of run and as you get used to modulating the throttle, the exhaust noise doesn't intrude - on its quieter setting anyway!
