Hello PH'ers, I just sold my Mini cooper and planning to buy a porsche cayman 987 in 2016. Which one is the best option a 2.9 or 2.7, any specific problems associated? I cannot buy a cayman s since I live in Belgiun an the yearly tax we have to pay for bigger engines is ridiculuous.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I started a thread on the same recently, this may help! http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
So you bought an 2,9, satisfied? Personally I prefer the 2.9, cabin&exterior looks nicer and 2.9 engine is probally more robust. Do you have a stick or pdk?
I haven't made a purchase yet, but think the 2.9 is winning for me. Will cost a bit more but I will appreciate the extra power, better interior more I think.
I'd go for the 2.9. Newer and better engine. Better styling too.
I'm also a little bit afraid that i doesn't have enough torque for my taste. A few years ago we had a Boxster 2.5 from 1998, and the engine was doing nothing below 4000rpm and at 6500rpm it was all over.
