Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

And it was the rear end that attracted me in the first place.

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.

Saw an Arctic silver Cayman today on an 08 plate and I have to say it looked absolutely stunning. It could have been new it was in such immaculate condition.
I can honestly understand why people have such affection for this model.
No idea how it drives but if it's as good as it looks then.....
Hey Bud'. I fell in love with that car in 2005/6 when I first saw one in the street. It is truly remarkable in it's looks. Unfortunately, in development, the generation 2 car has morphed into a car that looks more like the 911 but if I want a 911 then I'll buy one! The rear end of the newer cars looks less, well, curvy! And it was the rear end that attracted me in the first place. Many will confirm that the newer cars are a much more capable car (and so they should be otherwise what's the point of designing a new one?!) but since I have jumped from TVR Chimaera to the Cayman, for me the original shape fits my needs perfectly. To be honest, how much more capable can a car be? I love it for it's looks but when you drive one......O....M....G (as the kids would say!).

Rear end of the new car is just fine.
Have had mine almost a month now and it is an impressive piece of kit.
It's not that it's not nice but rather it has lost some of the original curvy lines at the rear end. Prefer gen 1.

It's noticeable how opinions differ on this, I never liked the early ones always thought they resembled an animal doing a dump. The 981's are one of the best looking coupes on the market today in my humble opinion.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
