The cayman and boxster have the driver in a more recumbant position over the 911 and with the motor directly behind you, it feels more like you are "in" the car, the cabin of the 911 is more spacious, the glass is further away and you sit higher up off the road. There is more room between the seats or at least it feels like it to me. Put it this way, I would drive my mother in the 911 but she could never get in the cayman.

Mechanically the feel of the cayman was just like the boxster (I have a 98) but it felt more planted due to much wider tires and being new it was much tighter. I am pleased that no alarm bells went off concerning the integrity of the boxster. Even though it is older, it is solid.

The biggest difference is the level of modernity and comfort, the boxster we have is Spartan compared with the new gadget laden model.

And lastly, the 345 hp in the cayman kicks the old boxsters butt pretty convincingly. It is amazing!
