A45, had it a couple of weeks now, fully loaded (besides some cosmetics like aero). Cracking little car so far, also tuned to 430/400 so it doesn't hang about.
Ah, you've got a 981 also. Good choice. I don't have the spec to hand, but it's something like:
Extended leather
20'' Turbo alloys
PDK
PCM incl nav (why nav isn't standard with PCM I don't know)
Sound Package Plus
USB and AUX
Dual Air con (why isn't this standard?)
Bluetooth
Dimming and Folding Mirrors
Heated seats
Multifunction Sports steering wheel
Heated steering wheel
Rear wiper
A couple more but I forget. Missing PSE but I could add it later. Honestly not sure it needs it
How does that compare to yours?
Nice, very sleeper in leased A220 CDI AMG Line spec
Sure that will surprise a few people!
Oh believe me, I know better than most. Hence why I have a white car when I really don't like white cars! The rest of the spec on it made it worth it though.
Or is a wiper 'delete' an optional extra, with a rear wiper standard? Wouldn't surprise me!
There is nothing wrong with a White Cayman
I even paid for it to be white
Lol. If you like white, you like white. Totally your taste. I don't, despite mine being white
However as nae said some cars look good in it. And boxsters and caymans do. Particularly gt4s.
White tends to suite more curvey cars more IMO but its always subjective to a point.
Is yours a standard white for the carrara metallic white as there is quiet a bit different between the two?
Sadly mines just pure white. It was the sacrifice I had to make to get the spec I wanted without going new and the I wouldn't have paid what this cost new for the spec as that was 911 money.
I do sometimes wish that I'd gone for the Cayman as it really did just have that extra edge on the handling (and in my opinion looks) but when you get a sunny day nothing beats having the top down, PSE active, sports mode and a good twisty road!
You have got a mighty spec there, so ignore the colour. I'd have liked the PASM, however luckily for me the ride is really good with 20s. As you say, I wouldn't have wanted to be the guy who optioned the car from new, just doesn't represent value.
Could be true. Will probably keep this one and buy something else in due course. Been a good car, not perfect, but epic.A investment once this happens https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/spy-shots/audi/e-tron-gtr-electric-supercar/
The ride is outstanding. I came from a 6 series bmw with adaptive suspension and the damping is so much better in this. Spec is great but I'll remain jealous of your colour and heated steering wheel!
Yours also has my favourite style of wheels.
How many times have you pulled past the pump when you've gone to fill it up?
Wow, PASM does sound amazing then. I'll have to get it on the next one. I believe the boxster ride is slightly more 'relaxed' anyway, sounds like you have the perfect setup. Haha I used my heated wheel this morning and it went from zero to hero! Will def tick that box too on the next one.
Thank you for your comment re my wheels. They weren't my first choice and I thought they looked odd in pictures (too busy?) perhaps its the wheel vs sidewall ratio, but in person they are lovely
