Test drove a Cayman S yesterday, a 2010 987.2. Hadn’t driven one before so didn’t really know what to expect, but right from the outset the steering felt dull and lifeless. I thought it might improve at speed but it never really came alive in the way that something like an MX-5 or even an ordinary BMW does. Overall I was underwhelmed, and I really wanted to like the car. The car had low miles, decent tyres and full history. Did I expect too much or is there maybe something not right with this one? Not too many around here to compare it to unfortunately.

Thanks Trevor, not many about here for sale. Am I correct in thinking that a 987 Boxster would feel similar to the Cayman, in steering terms?

Thanks all. Haven't given up on Porsche, going to look at a Boxster tomorrow so fingers crossed.
