Absolutely love my 2014 Cayman S. I had a 997.1 S years ago, hard to compare given the time gap. But the 997 felt like more of a GT car. The Cayman is pure sports car, razor handling. I like the newer interior as well. The PDK is brilliant, hope it last. Porsche will not service them, full replacement only. That said, there are a few shops that will work on them.
