I do agree with just about everything Michael has said on the 986 to 981 jump. I have just gone the same way, but I decided to stick with the Boxster, as I still wanted that option to put the roof down when I wanted.

However I did test drive the Cayman S 981 PDK on Saturday and I did not get on with it, I don't see the point of it when you can buy a 991 Carrera 2 S for not a great deal more. For me the Boxster was created as the roadster and removing the option of a soft top just made it look like a 911, but that is just my view and preference.

For some reason the PDK did not have the same bite as the PDK I tested on the Boxster S a couple of weeks ago, I found myself over-revving when trying to put my foot down, which confirmed my preference for the manual.
