    Actually psar, I would favor the Cayman for myself if I were not so tall. Can you even get into one? As a passenger in a Boxster, but never a Cayman. I was able to get behind the wheel of the Boxster, which is more than I could say for an S2000 or (weirdly) a Mistu Eclipse. I can testify to fitting quite well (in that special "you better not gain any more weight" sense) in an SV-chassis Caterham. And the Caterham was much, much cooler than any modern Porsche. If so, you won’t want to do it when you get to my age. OTOH, if you marry a yoga instructor, it may work out differently. I married a massage therapist, so it's rather more a matter of reactive than proactive troubleshooting.

    "I married a massage therapist, so it’s rather more a matter of reactive than proactive troubleshooting." Brilliant! I like your solution even better. I too have found that ergonomics is really strange when it comes to car size. My least favorite was the old Lumina. The poor rental folks would always be miffed when I refused to take one, and refused to pay for an upgrade, but instead downgraded to the cavalier because it had a longer seat track.

    Mike - could I get more details on the certified pre-owned lease option do you get a warranty? are you on the hook for the repairs? what's the residual/money factor? what are they looking at down? what's the payment if you don't mind? I've considered several times using the SmartLease from Premier Financial for a gently loved 911, but am very intrigued if Porsche itself offers a used-car lease option.

    There is NO substitute. Well, maybe ONE...
