Drove the Cayman today, the car had sport seats, 19" wheels and std suspension.
I think the BMW sport seats were nicer than the Cayman sports. The suspension was way stiffer and bouncier on crappy pavement than the 325 with the Sport package. Interior was louder at all speeds, and the sound of the engine was much more prominant. A little loud but OK just cruising, and prominant while on the gas hard The shift action in the Caymen was to die for, clutch action was better, and the car was the shit on a smooth curvey road. |

I love the Cayman but it's just too damm small. Way to screw over guys like me who need the space and can't exactly go out and buy an $80k 911 right now that has the space and the pace. Porshce needs to go one rung lower on the Boxster w/ a smaller car. That's wishful thinking.

From the reports it seems that the Cayman S is an excellent track car. But I really don't like the car much. The exterior styling will take a while for me to get used to, but most importantly the interior felt a bit cramped. I fit fine in both the 986 and 987 Boxster (though the 987 is even more roomy). Both the 996 and 997 911 are VERY roomy considering the overall dimensions.
However, the Cayman felt like a smaller version of the Audi TT. I still had an inch or so of headroom, but the top of the window was at eye level. The roof has a bit of a bulge to allow more headroom, but this results in my head actually extending higher than the side window. So in the end, I would choose a used 911 over a new Cayman.

A MR would be better than a RR in handling would it? I don't know, but seems like Cayman S would be more fun to drive around curves.
