My First Porsche

And it's going to be a Cayman S in meteor grey and black leather. Options chosen are: PDK/Sports Chrono/Sports Seat/Bi-Xenon lighting/Bose Sound System/CD Changer/Universal Audio Interface/Park Assist/Automatic Air Con/Mobile Phone module. Can't wait to take delivery.

I did not realize I signed up for this website in 2005. It has been a long while before I jump into Cayman but I was so happy with the BMW Z4.

Great choice, couldn't resist posting. I've been driving mine for last month.

"Girlfriend" is the GT3. The truth is that if I did not buy the Cayman S, I would have gone for Maserati Granturismo, a truly sexy/beautiful car. To me it's a better "girlfriend" than GT3.

Re: My First Porsche

I could have a fling with the Maserati. Wouldn't kick it out of the garage, as long as I could keep my Cayman!

Re: My First Porsche

Got the Cayman S.

Goods: 1) Handling is GREAT. 2) Acceleration is good. 3) Styling is gorgeous. 4) Sports seat is firm but very comfortable. 5) Can easily put a full-set golf bag in the back trunk by removing the cover piece from the hatch. 6) Driving visibility is good.

Bads: 1) Bluetooth interface is erratic depends on which mobile phone you use. Transferring contact list is a pain in the neck. Still trying to get a handle on it. 2) Universal audio interface is just 3.5mm connect to another 3.5mm, only volume control is available on the steering wheel. 3) Bose sound system is sub-par at best coming from a full Scanspeak 3-way set-up in the other car.

I got my 06 Cayman S in March 2006 - - I like it more each day! Congratulations and enjoy.

May I suggest you really study the owner's manual. The Cayman has lots of nifty features, I discoverd a new one just a week ago. Ed
