I bought my '07 Cayman new in '08. Put 30k miles on it. LOVED IT! While I owned it I tried a couple of times to "upgrade" to a 997. Each time went back to the 987 as a better driver's car...

Sold the 987 to upgrade some farm equipment. Could not stand being without a Porsche, so the hunt was on! Drove several '08-'09 Boxsters and Carreras. Very nice...

Then I located a cherry, one-owner 986 and fell in love! It was the most "Porsche-feeling" of all the cars I drove. I know that is hard to explain, but the 987/997 felt a little sterile to me. The 986 felt like an old glove, it just fit right. I remember lusting after them, when first introduced. There is a purity there that is lacking in some other models. (Not bashing, I would be proud to own ANY Porsche!)

In short, I love them all. The 986 is my choice, though...
