I traded my 2008 Cayman S for a 2011 Spyder just 3 weeks ago. All I can say is WOW! The Spyder is a lot more car than the old Cayman. Quicker, more responsive and just puts a big grin on the face every time I take it out.

Is that the PDK car from MAGAUTO in Ohio? I almost bought that one but decided on the black 6MT here in Pasadena.

I have had my Spyder over 1.5 years and put 8000 plus totally enjoyable miles on it. It handles like a slot car, is a comfortable cruiser and ample room for trips. As well as it handles I periodically will change the wheels and tires to lightweight Champion forged wheels and Mich. cup tires and WOW a whole new world. Porsche provided us with a real winner and keeper in this little gem.

The top becomes second nature to put on and off

The car is a pdk trans, but is a one owner that I got from Porsche Exchange, in the Chicago area.

My Spyder is also PDK. My '83 SC track car is stick and while I enjoy rowing PDK has won me over. you can let it do its thing ( which it does so well) in traffic or you can put it in the manual mode and control the gears completely.

Of note Porsche first used the PDK concept in the 962 race car in the early '80's . The PDK equipped 962 not only won LeMans but recorded the fastest time down the old Mulsane (sp) straight. A fantastic transmission mated to some rather outstanding vehicles

35k miles on my Spyder and as most mention, sometimes I entertain the idea of swapping or trading for something else, but one thing remains the same, every time I drive it, it always makes me rethink that idea. It really is a special car!

Just went to the garage to make sure it was still there and It still gave me wood after 2 years and I didn't even drive it. My 996 never did that but I must say that my 88 911 did.

I love mine too. The entire car is a piece of designed art work.
Fabric Top up with the rear twin-pontoons and fabric looks like a sailboat and vintage car all in one. Such a sexy car from every angle. It's great that Porsche spent the time to make something unque.

Porsche should make a GT3 engined 991 Spyder for $160,000 or less and that would be very cool too. Light open simple sexy and fast.......

Classic. Sorry it's been as long as it has friend.

I'm thinking seriously of getting a 2014 981 Base 2.7 Cayman with PDK. I know it is a completely different car than your 987. Anything in particular you did not like about your 2008 Cayman?

I Agree. The Spyder is an awesome car all around.....and after selling my 2011 to get my 2012 Cayman R (which is also love) i told myself that a Spyder WILL be in my garage again someday.....

What drove you to the Cayman? Track use? Real top? How do the 2 compare? Always appreciate real owner comparisons.

Cheers

Boxster Spyder, As addicting as a mobile meth lab, without the skin blemishes, gnarly teeth and potential jail sentence.
