Yep. Up until today I had refused to even site in the newer water cooled cars. Not because I'm a snob but because I was pretty sure they would have to pry me out of the car afterwards.
I was damned near right.
I was talking about a Cayman I had seen to my wife this morning and she made the 'fatal error' that made me love her in the first place so many years ago. She said 'Wow, that sounds cool.'
I've been sans Porsche for almost 4 years now and was driving my beat up Volvo Wagon and now that that is gone too I'm driving the Prius. Oh dear god...
So I stop by the place that has this Cayman and I had thought it was black. It's not, it's dark blue with the tan interior. I love that so much.
I sit in it.
I test drive it.
I love it.
I leave to finish my drive to my meetings down south.
I come home late tonight and on the way home the wife calls. I immediately start telling her about the car and she just laughs. It's a little more than I wanted to spend and I wasn't planning on starting the shopping until later this year.
But I'm not sure I can let this car go.
It is a Certified PreOwned so I'm wondering if I still need to get a PPI. I don't know the way they are supposed to sound - if it was an older one I would know what to listen for but the newer ones I'm not tuned too. All of the reviews and consumer ratings for the Cayman are extremely high but then I am still finding random reports that aren't very well documented of IMS failures. I'm just not sure...
5 spd Cayman non-S good or bad?
Who has two thumbs and wants to know?
This guy.
