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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

What is the best way to decide on which options I need (like the PASM), since I've never owned a Porsche before? Should I check out the Boxster or does someone have a better idea?

POST 2Original post

I used the Boxster S as a beginning point, talked at length with the sales people and reading the various posts about different options to come to the final decesion. As you, this will be my first Porsche though I haved wanted to own one for a long time.

POST 3Original post

The BoxsterS is about best comparison you can do for a Cayman purchase. The best thing to do is drive two versions......one with PASM and one without.......preferably with the same wheel size. Then try and drive some with 19' wheels if possible. Remeber the Cayman suspension setup will be stiffer and more performance orientated than the Boxster S. You can read all types of opinions......but no one really knows how YOU like to drive and what YOU consider to be a good/bad/harsh/softsuspension. One thing to remember........Porschewould like tosell you many different performance and non-performance items such as PASM, Sport Chrono, high dollar paint, Adaptive Sport Seats, etc. And while somemay consider all or someof these options as true upgrades, IMOnone of them will truly be needed in order to fully enjoy the Cayman S. If you have a specific need for PASM such as wanting the firmest suspension for track days, or a softer suspension for around town driving, PASM might be for you......however the non-PASM Boxster S suspension is excellent to begin with and I believe the Caymans will even be better. In other words don't just buy something because Porsche is selling it as an 'upgrade'......some are winners, otherare not. Its been this way for a long time at Porsche.

POST 5Original post

Thanks for the help. Your suggestions should help me be more at ease with my purchase. Thanks again!

POST 6Original post

The Cayman is my first trip into Porsche territory too, and I am also debating over the PASM/Sport Chrono options. In terms of taking the car onto the track, obviously my car would benefit from the PASM and the Sport Chrono, but would then I also not be advised to uprate the brakes, wheels and tyres as well?From you guys with trackday experience out there, what effect and wear and tear does a day at thetrack have on your car. I would imagine that unless you have uprated brakes etc, you would go through numerous sets of pads and callipers, and thesame for tyres? For the sake of thrashing the car about town, what difference would the PASM and the Sport Chrono actually make?
