Thanks for the warm welcome. I can see i'm going to like it on here
So JAY ...Your thinking of going from a 370 to a Cayman S yeah.
Mine was a Gen 1 Cayman S 2006 (Artic Silver)
My view...both great cars. Only reason i decided to part company with my Porsche was due to the fact it was showing the startings of a input shaft problem in the gearbox..Ouch!!!
Think a deal on the Nissan was the right way to go.
FWIW This is the way i see it>
Nissan Plus points-- slightly faster, definitly more comfortable to drive including the ride (porsche had a choppy ride), Fuel economy very similar (despite what the figures say), Better interior (prob due to the fact it is a newer car), More aggressive looking (seems to be admired more by younger people where the Porsche tended to appeal to the over 40's), More effective Aircon unit, Better Bose system, Cheaper servicing/parts.
Porsche plus points -- Prestige of the badge, Handled slightly better (probably due to flat 6 mid engine configuration), Begs to be driven, Could perhaps say it was slightly more fun due to intoxicating progressive roar from the exhaust. Possibly depreciates less than a 'Z' (though it is only the 911's that keep depreciation down to a minimum), Rear parking sensors.
Thats all i can think of for now but im sure there'll be more. Any further questions fire away
