986 Boxster vs 987.2 Cayman a comparison

[hancock1701]

Thanks for sharing. I've wondered which Porsche I would buy next when the time comes to upgrade/update my ride too. I've thought about the 987.2 Cayman or Boxster. I don't track (yet), so any of these car is plenty for road use. Why did you get the 987.2 Cayman but not Boxster? Is a 987.2 a lot more comfortable than a stock 986?

A good question as to Cay vs Box, I considered both. I owned the 986 for a long time and got a lot of joy from top down canyon romps. I found that I was driving top down a lot less lately and there is a clear safety benefit with a hard top on a racetrack. Essentially I wanted to try something different. So many cars, so little time...

My original Box was pretty bare bones so it was the least creature comfort available in a 986. The newer Cayman has more of everything. Great seats, less cabin noise, good climate control and a bit more headroom. More refined interior.
