I have so much fun with the top down, I don't want to give that up. I will stick with Boxster.

I'd keep the Boxster as a 2nd car. Boxster and Cayman don't have to be mutually exclusive, you can own both

But if I can only keep 1, top down driving isn't "that" important

just roll down the windows and stick your head out

I live in SOCAL. I am a rag top guy!

It's the Boxster for me. The Cayman may be a tick faster, but does it really matter?

I would take the Cayman. Top down driving is awesome, but I think I prefer the coupe. The Boxster is awesome too...damn...oh well...life is good when you trying to make that type of choice!

I'd swap my Box for a Cayman in a Rocky Mountain minute.
Out of the 6k or so miles I drive the Boxster in a year, two-thirds of them are with the top up anyway.

The reason I asked is I drop the top so much. It goes from my garage to the hangar and back, so i don't worry about theft etc.
I don't think people in alabama steal wind deflectors anyway.

if we're in the hypothetical mode, put me down for one of each. I'd take the Cayman for the track and keep the Boxster clean and neat for top down touring with the wife. If I had to choose - I'd keep the Box - gotta have open air sometimes.

re: Alabama - went to Huntsville over the weekend - son's birthday. Nice town, but plenty hot, just like SC. Good thing for a/c.
