After selling my 912/6 hot-rod, I bought a 2014 Cayman. Loved it BUT it was too perfect, if you get what I mean. It did everything well, looked great, drove great but had no soul. Sold it after barely one year and bought my 914.
Great cars as daily drivers without a doubt, but just didn't have that character I wanted in a fun car...   |

Not a fair comparison IMHO.
I've had both cars and the 987.2 is probably as good as it gets for a street fun car and touring car. An evolution of the 914. They are both very different cars. I had a Soul exhaust on my 987.1 and let me tell you the seat of the pants above 5k is a whole nuther experience. Carry on. |

I have both, and if the 914 has SOUL, the 987.2 Cayman S has SPIRIT. My 2nd Cayman, closest thing there is to the perfect car.
C&D said if everyone in the world had a Cayman, there would be world peace. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Having both the 914 and 987.2 is the best of both worlds - they compliment each other in so many ways. Can drive either one all day. Not in city of course. And more and more are saying the 987.2 was the peak of all Caymans, the last with hydraulic steering and road feel. I'm so happy with both I have no plans to ever sell either.

The 917 was 1808 lbs, the Cayman is 1000+ lbs more. The early cars were different, really needed to be. Most didn't have 320 hp like the 987.2, they really were more like go-karts and less like supercars.
