Default Coming back to Porsche

So I sold my 964 last year and have been looking and test driving cars ever since.

List of cars I drove:

997.2 C4S - not as visceral as my 964 but nice
981 S - almost bought it
Camaro 2SS - Motor is awesome, visibility is crap, quality a question, big car
Audi TTS - nice interior, decent driving, thought about buying one
718 boxster - tried both PDK and manual, liked the manual
Panamera Turbo - big, used one that was a bit worn out
BMW M235i - nice, but I've got a E61 535xi wagon and it wasn't really nicer than that, interior is kind of plain, and I don't like BMWs electric steering
ND miata, fun but that motor is sad

So I decided to order a 718 Cayman.

Options:

Graphite Blue Metallic
Sport Seats Plus (2-way)
Deletion of Model Designation
Rear Side Air Intake Grilles Painted
Manual Transmission
Porsche Active Suspension Management
19" Cayman S Wheels
Automatically Dimming Mirrors with Integrated Rain Sensor
Heated Multifunction Steering Wheel
Seat Heating
Seat Ventilation
Smoking Package
Luggage Net in Passenger Footwell
Leather Interior Package i.c.w. Standard Interior
BOSE® Surround Sound System


Looking forward to it!

Great build, congratulations. I'm really digging that color lately.

Nice- yeah clear corners are usually the first mod! Did mine when still on the showroom floor!

Boy, that nav screen sure is bigger than on the 981 spyder!! You'll love the Cayman- my son has a 987 S and it's a keeper.

I don't think the actual display is bigger than the 981, but it is a flat screen to the edges where the 981 is not. Tech for the nav is def better though.

Love that color! I was surprised to see it is metallic when I saw in person. It looks like a flat color in pics.
