Looking at Cayman S
Discussion
Hi All,
I've been a modified SEAT owner since 2007, started with a modified Ibiza TDI, then Leon FR TDI, then MK2 Leon Cupra R and my current MK3 Leon Cupra 280 which is running 420ps at the moment.
I fancy something completely different, I have been looking and quite fancy a Cayman S, ideally I want a starting base of 300ps+ so looking at 2010 models on wards.
my 2014 Cupra is fully loaded with tech, LED headlights, DAB, Bluetooth, Sat-Nav, auto lights , heated seats etc etc etc. So I'm looking for a Porsche with a similar level.
are most of these standard on Cayman S or are they optional extras? is there any optional extras that are must haves?
What years have what power? And apart from Software (I'm looking at APR as I have been a APR customer on both my petrol Cupra's) what else can be done to add a little more poke? I've not owned a standard car since 2007 haha.

Ha! Last time I looked, to spec all the stuff my Leon had as standard on a new 911 the options alone came to almost as much as I paid new for the SEAT.my 2014 Cupra is fully loaded with tech, LED headlights, DAB, Bluetooth, Sat-Nav, auto lights , heated seats etc etc etc. So I'm looking for a Porsche with a similar level.
Porsches are very spec sensitive on the second hand market. That's not say a Porsche with no options is a bad car, but it is worth a lot less than one with the sought after options. To get your head around it all is a bit like learning another language.

All those are optional extras - you'll need a lot of luck to find a car with them all!are most of these standard on Cayman S or are they optional extras? is there any optional extras that are must haves?

Remap, exhaust, headers are the main areas to get gains, but you won't get a huge jump like have done with your turbo motors. Modding Porsches is not cheap either...Porsche911R said:

Yeh have realised that! I have accepted that the sat-nav is going to be quite out of date compared to my current one. It's got to have bluetooth, cruise, xenon headlights and would like auto lights etc.
I would say needle In a haystack on that spec.AJB88 said:
Yeh looking at 981's now. Xenon's, DAB are a must.
Everybody’s idea of must have options differs, and what you need is often dictated by the kind of use the car is going to get. My 981 is a second fun car, as such I’d value options like PSE and nice rims over things like auto climate and wipers ... there’s plenty here that will say those are absolute must haves though!
