I have an '04 S and I have driven a base model 987 loaner when mine was in the shop. The interiors are drastically different. To me, the 986 interior layout is the model of what roadster should be-only the things you need and just where they should be. My only ******************** is that a couple of the controls like rear window defrost and fan recirc are not visible with the cup holder extended. I liked the 987 but to me the dash looked much like a late model Japanese car, maybe a Maxima. Controls are busier and I didn't like the placement of the window and top switches.

As far as handling, I didn't have a chance to wring it out, but I can't imagine a quantum leap over my S. Granted, I have KW V3 coilovers and I'm sitting much lower than stock, but it doesn't turn around corners, it simply seems to pivot on a big ball bearing in the middle of the car.

Look wise, I actually do prefer the fog lights lower in the front bumper and I kinda like the air intakes better on the 987, but I can't see either of those from the driver's seat. Either way you're going to love it...good luck.
