I was a bit suprised that it feels like an other animal.
Things that i picked on in the Boxster i cant feel or hear!?
The vibration around 2000-2400 that i could feel in the seat are not there.
The Sound Aktor, i dont even know if there is one.
I have the PSE on this one and by that you dont need more rumble so could it be that Porsche skipped it on PSE cars?
Anyone with a Cayman that have disable the Sound Aktor?
One more thing, S-Pasm have an excellent drive!
Sorry to hear about your Boxster....what happened?I trashed my 718 Boxster S as you might know and now i am lucky owner of an Cayman S.

Johan - I hope you find your new Cayman is better for transporting pizza than your Boxster, as you can keep it warm on top of the engine ;-)
I thought all Porsches in Texas had these installed:Deer are a big issue here in Texas and you just never know when your number is going to be up.....
And it looks real good too......well?I thought all Porsches in Texas had these installed:

johan;64049 I was a bit suprised that it feels like an other animal. [/QUOTE said:I relate to this, in my way -- not sure it's what you're getting at. Having owned/driven several Porsche coupes (928, 911) and a pair of roadsters (Boxster), there is a feel to open-air sport motoring that exists alongside all the other tactile driver-feedback inputs of steering, handling, acceleration, sound (actually the roar of wind noise at speed shapes the experience of sound in the driver-seat at least as much as the engine/exhaust note)....
Not experienced the same way by everyone, I'm sure...and I recognize all the virtues of closed-coupe design for aesthetics of line, ultimate rigidity, year-round warmth and security, and as a superb audio listening chamber. I admire both versions of the mid-engine platform, loved my Cayman test-drive and all the Cayman photos posted here (esp. Johan's new white/black/red S), and when comparing 718 performance data (to 911 or other marques) I always specify the Cayman first.
And yet: there remains that elusive quality of driving an open roadster that compels some forum members to accept all the trade-offs of owning a Boxster in Canada or Sweden. Quite irrational! I wonder if perhaps what you are experiencing, Johan, is the 'other animal' of rationality gained at the expense of a little bit of raw wind-blown emotion....

Well at least you've got a fall back soft top & that's something. Extremely nice looking Cayman S you've bought though & I'd be very happy to own it in addition to my Boxster S, but instead of? Absolutely no chance!D-mnt it Chilli
My 986 Boxster S are alive and kicking, but then again i have to wait and see.
If i will change i will do it next spring and i will not loose to much Money in 6 month since its a used car.
