Great choice.
I chose Agate but it was a toss up between it and GT silver
I was favouring silver and the wife thought Agate so guess what? Agate it is.
What OPC was it?
I'm an April build too and was wondering if spec was still changeable.
Can anyone who has a Boxster or Cayman and doesn't have climate control tell me if they miss it or not?
And if speccing again would they include it.

Some day they don’t miss it, some says it deffo puts off a used car sale , some swear by it etc

I think your lockdown might be very close. my March build locked like 3 weeks ago even tho the computer says freeze date was today.

Well mine is back at the OPC on a trailer. I've done 300 miles and had it 2 weeks and its got an oil leak.

Don't know yet and won't until next week what is wrong with it or how long it will take to fix.

Gutted doesn't cover it.

My friend who has a warranty job on his R8. New engine and it has a oil, going back infor another new engine that will take ages!

I thought i drop a message to update you guys that i collected my car. So far 3 days and 200 miles now. Loved every thing about it. Standard headlight is plenty bright enough, Standard sound system is quite bass-sy and have a good clarity. A very good stock system, with bose you get more of depth and 3D sound and clarity. The engine sound is different to all my previous cars and i’m starting to get used to it and it’s making me smile, the power on this thing brings me smiles, Corner in and hit to 5k rmp( needed to back off as the car need to be kept under 4k rpm) that gave me a big smile, really wanted to keep pushing all the way to red line. It’s such a fun car , power and handling wise!

Just got the car back from detailers, suprise how white my car is (carrera white metalic) compare to alpine white on the M4. 350miles and starting to drive a little more playful and it makes me smile how i always in powerband when taking the twisties, and how capablenthe chasis is! Engine noise is LOUD and sound like a angry lion! Youtube video’s doesnt do the engine sound any justice!

How are you finding the driving experience compared to the M4?

M4 Sounds nicer, but big, it handles well but it’s big! the cayman handling is different league, Lighter and more nimble more like a Go Kart, very fun. The M4 much more complicated with all the settings availble, i get kangaroo jumping on the gears, very annoying and have to be very careful not to kill yourself from the explosion of torque!
