I absolutely loved it.
Tried the S and GTS Caymans - which were ok but the engine noise is not great and booms around the cabin. Thought the lag / throttle response was a bit brutish and clumsy.
However this is just not the case in the entry level open-top model:
The sound is pretty good. I quite liked it.
The power and torque it provides are as much as I'd ever need
The basic engine mates perfectly with the PDK 'box
Very little if any meaningful turbo lag and easy to get just the right throttle opening to balance the car
Smooth and confidence inspiring to drive, with the grip level telegraphed back from the tyres in a way that was so easy to read.
It gave me the confidence to push so much harder than in the other models.
I was quite alarmed how much i warmed to this car.
Sorry to break the party line guys, but a basic Non-S PDK Boxster with only a handful of options would actually suit me perfectly.
