Well i have just passed 1,000 miles since new so thought it was a good point to provide an update. I could keep it really brief and say i still can't stop grinning when i drive the Cayman, but that would only be part of the story. I have kept the revs down until the oil temp is up to 85-90 degrees, tried not to drive it to the rev limit (PDK) but boy it isn't easy. I seem to have developed an unhealthy need to press the accelerator much harder than I need to, somehow needing my daily fix of induction noise and exhaust growl or frankly, the day simply isn't going to be a good one.
I love the Cayman, it just ticks every box for me, it feels so much more nimble that my 997 C2, i feel closer to the sounds and the sensation and (passenger seat belt rattle aside) i really am struggling to identify any shortfalls.... OK the Basalt black paint is a b***** to keep clean, but that's about it. My 7th Porsche and finally i have found "THE" one.
My only real issue, i chose it in Black and then people keep posting photos of it in Silver, Red, Blue, and they all look amazing, maybe it deserves something bolder than black. So in conclusion, the only limitation i have discovered so far, is possible my choice of colors.

Glad you are enjoying it Al. Still not got to a 1,000 miles on mine yet, however the temptation to not floor the throttle requires serious discipline! I am loving the noise when pressing the sport button, it is no sports exhaust, however does it for me.

On the color front, you have not made a mistake... When all cleaned up and waxed, it looks superb and especially with those wheels! I have started to use GYEON Q2M BATHE+ shampoo, as it seems to protect the car from dirt a little better. Give it a try..

Thank you G. Glad you are enjoying yours too. I don't have PSE but am starting to wonder what i might be missing. Will have to investigate the GYEON shampoo !!On the color front, you have not made a mistake... When all cleaned up and waxed, it looks superb and especially with those wheels!
