Agreed, I only had it two days, as a loaner for my Boxster service, but I could feel the additional weight of the roof - waaayyyy up there - and the large glass rear window and hatch.
I felt like the Cayman was much less nimble and had a definite heavier feel to it. Both are "S" chassis, so no difference there.
I was happy to get my Boxster back.
I Started down the convertible road becasue wifey and I love to just get in the car and go. Two sets of friends have bikes and told us you just see more on a bike than is possible in a car - you feel more "there" was their description.
NO WAY I was gonna get wifey on a bike and when you head down the convertible path it incontrivertably sp?) ends at the ultimate convertible!!
When you're an both an old Porsche guy and an old mid-engine racer, there is only ONE Porsche.
