The 987 Cayman R is truly the first Cayman GTS and less comparable with the GT4. I do think Cayman's are absolutely "future classics". The fact of fairly limited sales despite all of the great engineering features and outstanding car dynamics may make Caymans very desirable and appreciating cars! (.....I wonder how people in 10 years will feel when they recognize how much joy was lost by giving up the driving experience and engagement of ICE cars and now being doomed to sit in universal self driving batteries only serving transportation needs, robbing us from so many things that cars initially represented in the ICE age...)
That's a really interesting perspective on the GTS comparison, I have to agree. The GT4 is just a completely different animal. And i totally agree on the lost joy in the driving experience. It makes me sad, and makes cars like these so much more special.
Reliable was good, the only thing that had to be replaced while i owned the car was the clutch sensor went bad, very easy and cheap fix, but annoying because sometimes the car wouldnt want to start. The dealer said it was not common. i did sell it in February because i wasnt driving it as much as i should have.

@@bbening3739 Thanks. let's hope that there will be always a lot of Petrolheads around who will remain to keep the spirit alive and ongoing...
I have found with mine you really need the PSE for the noise. Those are Spyder wheels too, not Carrera.
How’s it feel to have no air conditioning in this car?
How is the reliability? Do you still own your R?
