Long, but great article!

Yeah ver interesting article, just a minor annoyance for me, a lot of times reports/magazines seem to take the base cayman and compare it to the 'S' version of the competition. I mean if you took TT vs Cayman and TTS vs Cayman S you'd have a completely different article.

Hmmm, again the base Cayman which is fine, but if power is a concern a little mention of the S would be wise.

Anyway... is it just me, but when I ride in my CS it's like being in a little teeter-toter (this is a compliment btw). Want a little more grip in the back? Easy, give it a little gas and feel the weight shift back to the rear wheels. Want a little more weight in the front? Easy, off the throttle a little and feel the weight shift forward. Looking back, if other cars did this, I never felt it like I do in my CS, the balance of weight front to back never felt like it was under my control the way it is in my CS. Loving it.

One of these days, just maybe, I'm going to read a Cayman review that is free from factual errors. Those are obviously 18" wheels, not 19". I know, the pictures might not be of the same car, but it seems pretty clear that it's supposed to be.

Yes and its 245 hp (DIN)= 241 bhp
The Cayman with 6 speed weighs 1320 kg (not 1300kg)

I got smoked by a modded TT the other day on a crowded highway. It was aggressively cutting lanes. I tried to keep up but couldn't as I was being far more conservative. The TT is an able car, and I can only imagine the TTS being more so.

Orange? Come on. I just don't see that working for an Audi.

Had the chance to drive the TTS a few weeks ago during an Audi Drive Experience. I was very excited about the prospect of driving that car that morning and have have high hopes for it but unfortunately I walked away feeling that it felt a little bit too "lightweight." My CS felt a lot more grounded and tighter.

The real revelation was driving the Audi S5 manual - it was a lot more fun than I expected. The Bang & Olufsen sound system also hits the spot - puts our Bose systm to shame.
