Currently have a 2.9L Cayman and i'm in the market for a new car in the new year. really like my current car, so thinking with the budget i have in mind, do i go for a 981 2.7 or a 987 Gen II Cayman S ??

opinions please

I went from a 987 2.9 to a 981 2.7.....love it ...if you're tall it has more room inside...and you don't get that weird 'ear buffeting' from the old Cayman cabin - always amazed people don't moan about that design flaw more!!!

how different is the old 2.9 to the new 2.7 on the road (normal use) ?

Personally I'd avoid PDK - there's plenty of time left to flap at paddles and not much left of manual gear boxes.

PDK is as good as a manual as a manual, even dropping two gears faster PLUS you can "lazy drive" too. Godsend when crawling behind a motorway pile up. Or... get much bigger left leg muscles from that heavy clutch...

OP will no doubt find all the "Manual vs. PDK" threads so lets not get into that... or shall we...?

will be manual or me, all the way. my brother has a 997 Gen II with PDK and its not for me yet.

my 2.9 Cayman is now 6 1/2 years old with 46k miles on it. just thought it's a good time to move it on.
is it worth keeping hold of?
