Went to breakfast with the PCA folks yesterday and rode in my friend’s 2008 Cayman. After spending 2 hours in the car I concluded that it wasn’t the car for me. I had thought that adding a newer pcar to the family would be fun and that the older midengine would be a smart choice. It just didn’t make me smile like the 914. When we were done with breakfast the line of cars all looked alike. I noticed that people notice more about the color of these cars than the lines of the body. No visual excitement
I need to get my locks fixed and get my car back on the road! |

I consider my 2008 base Cayman to be an evolution of the 914 design had it remained in production. The Cayman is most certainly more reliable and comfortable for distance travel, and my Cayenne diesel an even better improvement for serious daily use and long distance travel. I'm fortunate to have this variety of Porsches, each a different driving experience and source of enjoyment of ownership.
