The same rule doesn't apply for the Cayman/Boxster, they both look good to me. I also wouldn't worry too much about what you can buy with the same money - it's what you want that matters. Anyone buying a new car (even a family hatchback) would have a massive choice of 'better' cars on the used market. yes, very happy with my choice - just need to decide on whether to keep adaptive cruise and lane change assist before final build date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it and i like it . In traffic with pdk the car trundles along stopping and starting all you have to do is streer. Lane assist i dont enjoy. If you havent ordered it yet they gavemt restarted production so you would be looking at a 6 months wait.The building of the car takes 6 weeks to dealer so you can change the spec right up until this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Interesting, I don't envisage myself using cruise on any roads where there are roundabouts, though I've heard some people do... maybe adaptive is so much better than normal.

Patt Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Indeed! I had never considered using it off a motorway. That said I found the acceleration was not very smooth whilst it was trying to achieve the target speed set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously i didnt explain properly ? Active doesnt need to be switched on. At low speeds to avoid collision it will stop the car,its a safety feature, no active cruise you dont have this? Even when not activated ie not switched on It will slow you down when it senses a collision apparently quicker than you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hence my "so much better". Very enlightening, thanks! (I have a ten year old car with normal cruise, never tried adaptive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have a ten year old car with normal cruise, never tried adaptive). It a strange feeling as i have gone to go at a junction and the car in front hasnt and it stopped the car, i thought the handbrake was on, also if you are braking and it thinks you arent braking hard enough as the car in front is getting too close it will assist you. Never had any car to the side issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIkeyv60 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 The new models have a GPF fitted apparently, hence the standard PSE because the sound was pretty muffled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
