Cayman GT4 or Boxster Spyder… I need some help please
Discussion
Hello to all forum members!!
I am new to this forum and I have been reading your posts regarding all things Cayman and Boxster Spyder for several months now. I am in a fortunate position here in Canada to be in line for a GT4 and a Spyder but I need to pick between the two without an opportunity to test drive them. I have seen pretty much every review / pitch for either car on the internet and I have had two well known UK reviewers respond to me via twitter they would have the GT4 over the Spyder but Sutcliffe says in his review he thinks the Spyder is the top choice…hasn't he driven everything!?!? I have not seen a review of the GT4 by him though…much kudos to anyone who can send me a link to that if it exists out there somewhere.
Here is my situation: I plan to use the cars for seasonal driving only! I may only get one track day a year if I am lucky and I am torn between the two models. I realize the GT4 is more of a track car but it screams Motorsport, will be / is already a collectible, has the GT3 parts and is an amazing value for money but will be a bit more difficult as a daily driver!
The Spyder has the lighter steering, the option of the convertible experience, a higher front spoiler, and u can hear that glorious noise even more with the top down!
I am a bit frustrated about the reports of the tall gearing in both models as I love a manual and would want to be able to row gears as often as possible....I have a JCW Mini countryman All4 for the winter. Unfortunately, all cars arrive Pre-sold so no test drives...big decision to make as I may have this car for 10-15 years without a test drive
