So basically your saying that what you say is true, the real truth, whereas all those other reviews by countless auto reporters are in fact not?

I'm not actually that bothered, I would hope a standard 911 is better than a Cayman. It outta be for nearly for an extra Pounds16k. I think there's fault on both parts, those who say the Cayman is better than a base 911 without concrete proof, and those who say a Cayman is a total waste.

I'm buying a Cayman, and I will upgrade to a 997 Carrera S within 10-12 months! I've no doubt about that. I look at it like this:

Cayman Pounds43k
Carrera Pounds59k
Carrera S Pounds65

Personally I wouldn't buy a standard Carrera, because an extra Pounds6k ain't that much of a stretch when you're spending 60k already. However, the gap between the Carrera S and the Cayman is rather large, Pounds22k. Therefore that Cayman is attractive because of that. The base 911 sits rather uneasily under the S and a good 16k off the price of a Cayman.
