Essential options on a Cayman R?

[kbf1981]

I keep getting tempted by a Cayman R and I know a few guys on here have one.

They seem very option sensitive - what are the essential options I should be looking for?

The green one at an OPC looks nice if a little expensive as its one of the highest priced ones out there.

Thanks!

Carbon bucket seats, sports exhaust, Boxster Spyder wheels.

We're those as standard? I remember reading a thread where someone said a "perfect" CS popped up... wondering what the general consensus is on what's "perfect" as I'll probably only have the car a year or so

None on the market with PCCB presently - with so few about, is it just a case of watching the market and if you see one you like, acting fast?

Were most of these sold on 2/3yr finance deals and so the original owners still have them?

From the lists of personal opinions given so far, I would be interested to know what the OP has decided on as the ideal spec for them.

Let us know and we might be able to help find it - there's a nice blue manual without PCCB or sports exhaust in Bradford for example and an equally good white manual in Hampshire.

At the Jag garage? Looked at that and it looks nice. I wasn't planning on buying till new year as I won't drive it yet. Just getting an idea so I know what to look for when I go. Still also considering an Exige V6.... other stuff etc, the Cayman looks a nice option though, and I miss my Porsches.

My essential options would be:

- Lairy colour
- Sports Exhaust
- Sat Nav, Radio, Air Con

..... not sure what else I'd really be interested in. PCCB is cool but to be honest, I've had various 997's / Cayman S before and the brakes were always fab on steels. As for PDK.... not sure, I drive an ML63 day to day so manual might make it more of a distinct change, and I guess they're be around £3k less though probably a less liquid market.
