I totally agree with the above-mentioned merits of the Cayman - particularly the Cayman S.

If money was not a factor & practicality of a coupe was not an issue, I would definitely choose a Cayman S over the 135. I test-drove an S this summer & was hot for one - figuring what a great performance value it would be after the prevailing discount. However, after adding the options, the higher insurance & the high maintenance costs, it became a budget buster for me.

The reason I initially replied to this post is because gimme135 seemed to say a Cayman was close in price to the 135 - only 12k more. IMO, the total cost difference is much larger than that. And that total cost difference does not allow a fair comparison.

I'm a great admirer of the Cayman S, but I can't afford one for now. I'm hoping the 135 meets my expectations.
