Gen 2 Cayman Questions & Options

[ilduce]

How odd.
People who should use smilies and "sir" are usually not old enough to drive.

I thought the basic lights on the 981 were Xenons anyway and the upgrade was PDLS but maybe thats only the S

Yep just the S, no Xenons as standard on the 2.7 981

AND most importantly... it has Xenons, and is an S, so people won't think you are poor.

Seriously?

Of course! Haven't you wondered why you get tramps offering you their loose change? Mystery solved!

Not half as odd as you being phased by someone being pleasant to you on an internet forum .....

I'm relatively new to the internet and I'm a bit wary of strangers. I thought you were trying to groom me, especially with your forum name.

Yes, find that terribly annoying, must upgrade to an S with Xenon's asap!

He groomed with me with some chat about a 964. He'd be on trial with pretty much every aged celebrity if I had been 20 years younger at the time.

I'm sorry, I can't talk to you either. You have the gearbox of cripples, women and pensioners.

Fair cop. I would not go for PDK given my time again, though.

I can fix my problem. You're a comma-splicer, by contrast, and that is almost always an affliction for life.

Not to worry - other illiterates will take you seriously.

It's, not, my, mother, tongue, so, I, have, an, excuse.
Anyway, it's, preferable, to, being, a, grammar, nazi.

Well I almost bought a tidy non Xenon equipped Boxster but silver is just too dull for a sports car, so add not silver to the list of requirements!

The wait continues

I think I agree on that, especially with the Boxster. Dark blue looks great.

Are sports seats worth having? I'm considering a car with regular comfort seats in full leather, they look nice enough but sports look even better.

Also how can I tell/confirm if a car has surround sound plus?

The sports seats are shaped differently around the shoulders so basically give you a bit more support at that level. The regular seats are fine. I would go for a full leather car with regular seats over a sports seats car without full leather no contest.

Ok I went to see a Boxster and a Cayman at the same dealer, the Boxster was very nice however I really gelled with the Cayman. I think it's a much more complete package, it looks better and it's a bit more focused. So it's back to plan A, it has to be a Cayman.

This one in particular had the sound package, it's good enough for my ears although nothing to boast about. Also I thought the only difference between sport and comfort seats were aesthetics, after a second of sitting in the comforts I had forgotten all about them.

No smoke on start up, but are these engines suppose to sound a bit funny at idle / low rpm? You know the way BMW V10 sounds a bit clattery at idle? Sounded good when revved though but definitely needs an aftermarket sports exhaust!

[craigjm]

what do you mean a bit funny?

For the exhaust look here http://www.carnewal.com/index.php

[SkinnyP]

Hmm no, it didn't sound quite like that. I put it down to variable valve timing.

Have you still not bought a car yet...right stop pissing about and go and buy this - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014... - its even got the bigger engine in it...

Just noticed its not a Gen2...still a nice low mileage car though, here's a thought get the owner to put it through a 111 point check if it fails walk away or he fixes it, if it passes then brilliant get an OPC warranty on it in case it goes pop.

The gen 1 does nothing for me sorry but thanks anyway!

I have been to see this example, it was utterly immaculate but I think its £2k overpriced given it's only got 3 optional extras! If were to come down to £23k I would buy it.

I intend to see this one at the weekend, but I'm concerned the steering wheel and drivers seat look a bit worn for a mere 25,000 miles...
