local dealer has a few cayman S left. i know it is not for me, but the sales guy told me to drive it anyway.

we took it up the santa monica moutains for a short drive. i was very impressed. the car handled so well with all the windy roads and sharp turns. the acceleration was also impressive (not like to turbo, but impressive). the car feels tight and easy to drive, with great performance.

i wish i like the body style, it is certainly inexpensive and a great car.

i think so. i enjoy it everytime i get to drive it. i keep planning new additions, such as wheels and maybe new stereo system. but i just know that when the right opportunity comes, or when the wife leaves town, i will sell it!

don't have a good reason for wanting to sell. i guess it's just my thing with cars!

drove one last wkend, ya handles nice... but not enuff power i think.

and i agree w/ you guys, for $70k might as well step up and get the 997, right? $50k is a great deal for that car w/ decent options, but wont happen.

not lovin the looks either, looks like hardtop boxster IMO.

the car is not attractive looking at all to me. for 70k, that makes it even worse IMO.
