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've got one of each - 14 CS and 75 914/6 conversion. Only thing in common is that they both are mid-engine. I love them both but for different reasons. My 914 is loud and brash and beats me up a bit but always brings a smile to my face. Long drives are not what I do in this car. The Cayman is refined and certainly more modern and excells at being athletic while also being enjoyable on long drives, especially when you want to wring it out in the twisties for a time and then relax and just enjoy the scenery. I'm not tempted to part with either one of them.
