4) Handling

When I am driving on a winding road, I am not very good at it, but when I turn the steering wheel and drive, I can see theThe sense of oneness with the car is unbelievable, and the answerability is good, driving down the line you want.The following is an example of a product that can be used in this way.

I also like the moderate weight of the handle.

I recently had the opportunity to test drive the new BMW Z4 and 8 coupes, and I was scared because the Z4 handles too lightly and also the change (car shakes) when changing lanes. When I drove the Z4 before, I didn't feel it at all.Cayman is still a genuine sports carWe are reminded once again that this is the case.

(5) Fuel consumption / Maintenance

Fuel consumption is 13 km/L on the highway and around 8 km/L in town driving (both in sport mode). It is not bad.

Maintenance is done as told by Porsche's mechanical staff. By the wayThe first time I changed the engine oil was when I drove 3000 km, and after that, I drove around 15,000 km.The following is a brief summary of the results of the survey.

The first time I changed the tires was when the mileage was about 3000 km. The mechanic said, "The tire grooves don't lose that much, probably because you drive long distances.He said, "I am very happy to be here.

When I get off the car after gunning for an empty skyline, etc., I can smell burning rubber, but I'm sure that's just my imagination (laughs).

The repair was done after the car was delivered and the engine was indicated to have a problem, so I took the car in to have it looked at. There was a slight problem with the piston actuation relationship. It may have been a computer glitch. It was quickly fixed and the car has not had any problems since. The engine is in great shape.

(5) Family reaction

It is said that many of today's children are not very interested in cars, and my children show little interest in them either (laughs).

(6) Favorite point

I love the exterior and the color of the car. Especially the sapphire blue color is really beautiful against the blue sky and ocean.

(7) General comments

I have always been happy with my purchase of the 981 Cayman. Had I purchased an Alpina B4, I am sure I would have been satisfied, but the character of the car is different.

Alpina is surrounded by a high quality space when you get in, and there is no sense of tension at all.In driving, the suspension handles uneven road surfaces well and does not transmit uncomfortable vibrations, yet it provides information on the road surface and holds firm in corners.

Acceleration is also quite fast. It is truly Alpina magic!It is.

A chauffeur once told me, "In this job, I get to drive many different cars, but this is the first time for me to drive an Alpina. It's nice.Would you like to go for a little drive?He jokingly said, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that. Is that how easy it is to drive?

Cayman sat in the driver's seat, posture low and a little tight.Perhaps because it is a sports car, it exudes a sense of exuberance.I wouldn't dare take the Alpina up to the pass and drive it.Cayman is a car that shows its true potential on mountain passes.It is. If you like to drive on these roads, this is a good choice.

8) What is Porsche to you?

."A good companion that frees you from everyday stress and makes driving enjoyable.I guess you could say that.

〘The blog manager's opinion 〙
The sapphire blue Cayman is so beautiful. I personally love the design and sound of the 981, but I have never driven a 981 Cayman, and I would love to drive it on the Ashiu and the mountain pass roads! Thank you makoto-san!
