Ekona Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Cayman S is a superior car, but it costs more too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Cayman S is a superior car, but it costs more too. +1 However they are about to drop in price a little as a facelift model is about to come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently looking at them and getting rid of the 370z +1 I have driven both back to back and the Cayman S is a far superior car both statically and dynamically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnH Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 The convertible 350/370 whips the convertible Cayman though which takes infinity to get to 60! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I admit i had the same thoughts when i was looking to upgrade my 350z. Technically yes i could have bought a car that had better handling, was faster, better put together (not just talking about the Porsche here but others as well) but ultimately it came down to a couple of things 1) Character - i love the look and character of the 370z roadster more than the others. 2) The 370 is a rare site and i like to be different 3) Cost - although the zed costs enough to run anyway im sure the others would be more. But most importantly and this may sound all sentimental but i also wanted to stay part of the community created by this forum. I have been really lucky in making a lot of really good friends here. The get togethers, meets, and holidays away have been immense fun and i've absolutely loved them. Without the zed that wouldnt have happened and i know if i changed car then that relationship would change, its sad but inevitable as the connection wouldn't be there. So for me the choice was simple and i've not looked back. I absolutely love rosie. It may not be the fastest or the most agile but it puts a big smile on my face and that is what counts. Its not just a car its a whole social scene that i've been lucky enough to get involved with. Would you get that with other cars? Maybe but i doubt it. Anyways gushing sentimentality over......

Ian Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Cayman is ugly though....like all Porsches Oh you are so so so wrong +1 I test drove a 370 & found it quite boring. It wasn't enough of an upgrade to warrant the extra cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philb1965 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Drive them both then decide. The porker will be more expensive to run, better finished and probably handle better. The 370 will probably have more character and be just as enjoyable. The trouble is, the better the car you drive, the higher your expectations become. Drive them both and report back.

Dblock Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 If you use Porsche to service then yes silly running costs. If you are a cheap skate you can buy all Oem part for very little money. Specialists are pretty cheap too. I'd go for a 987 boxster over a cayman but that's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Test drive the cars that appeal, it's not really up to us to say what might suit you. 1) Character - i love the look and character of the 370z roadster more than the others. 2) The 370 is a rare site and i like to be different 3) Cost - although the zed costs enough to run anyway im sure the others would be more. 4) Porsche don't come in Rosie colour.

spursmaddave Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I test drove a 370 and a Cayman (not S) last year when my Zed was in for damage repair... I was not blown away by the driving experience of the 370, too clinical compared to the industrial 350, the Cayman felt more of a drivers car but the interior was bland and dull compared to the 370 so pro's and con's either way.... Biggest pro for getting a 370 would be you could hang around here without looking like a tool as you don't have a Zed anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 4) Porsche don't come in Rosie colour.
