Hey guys
I just picked up a 2013 G37x. I'm coming from a Porsche Cayman S and will certainly miss it. The best drivers car I have ever owned. After six years of Porsche life I decided to get the best of both worlds, performance and comfort.
I looked at the BMW 335i and an Audi S5. Both good cars but I found a 19K G37X with the bells and whistles that I was looking for at a good price. So far I have enjoyed it very much and am looking for forward to put it through it's paces

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your G Billy! Amy photos of your Porsche and G?

 

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase! The G is a great choice. Enjoy your ride and show us some pictures.

 

Moving from Porsche to G? Intriguing...

 

I definitely want to hear your thoughts about the Cayman S since it's on my list of cars to own down the road.

 

X2 ^^^ and welcome to the site, post a pic or two of your Cayman too.

 

id have traded u... although it depends on which year cayman..
neighbor had his boosted and drove it more than he did his 911T...

 

I have a feeling this thread is going to turn into a porsche discussion..

IMHO, G coupe is much better looking than the cayman / boxter, except spiders and GT*.
There is no doubt caymans are much more fun stock though. That's what they are known for.

GTS manual spyder would be my choice, but looking at the $$, it's tough to justify one. If you don't track it, a G with both sways and co's will be just as fun.

Welcome Billy. I have a Liquid platinum G too. I also looked at the 335 and ended up with the G because of its reliability.

 

Thanks for the greetings.
I made the switch for a couple of reasons. It was a 08 Cayman S that I had owned for six years. I never had any problems with it but it was time for a change. With several thousand $ of routine maintenance coming due and I wanted something better in winter conditions. With the summer tires, cold temps were problematic.
I originally bought the car for a weekend and track car. I later heard of the oil starvation issues with the first gen Caymans (06-08) on the track from high G turns. 2009 these issues were taken car of.
The Cayman was a great driver's car which was very dependable. I never had any problems and would be ok to be a DD. I know them well, so if you have any questions on the p-car I'm happy to answer if I can.
I wanted a sports coupe that had all wheel drive and couldn't afford a new 911 4S.
So far, one day, I am very happy with the G37. It looks great, I have already gotten several complements. Acceleration is about the same, but I already miss a manual.
Thanks again for the welcome. The forum has been very helpful.


Pics on the way!

 

Out with the old, in with the new

 

Nice and welcome!
