Cayman S test drive @ HBL.
Hello all,
I know this is a bit off topic, but has anyone driven the Cayman S? I drove one last night, and it kidna reminded me of my Mini. The JCW Mini has much more direct inputs though, steering and throtttle response are immediate on the Mini and slightly less so on the Cayman S. However, there is something about the sily smooth transmission and the ease of drivng that Porsche has and BMW/Mini does not. Because the engine is in the middle, it has practially no moment of inertia, and it feels like the Mini in that way, because the Mini is so light and small, they both feel super tossable and light. The Mini def. is more responsive and and more go-kart like. It does have a harsher suspension, which can be too much sometimes.
