"My final thought on the car came a day after the drive - you could argue that the Cayman, especially the 2.7l, is the closes thing to an old-school Porsche sports car; it's very compact, relatively light, does not have overwhelming power, huge running gear or AWD or turbocharging or anything like that; and lastly, it's a car that is fundamentally about the agility, responsiveness and fun of it's chassis. "

I agree with this, nice observation.

My ONLY beef with the smaller Cayman is the price. Lots of money for a nice simple car. To me, simpler should be cheaper, but then I am a cheapskate too!
