What a garbage review.
Sorry, as others have already said, why publish something when we
can't get a simple thing like the PRICE of the cars correct !?!?!?!?! Given
it colored the rest of the article so much, this one "small" error to me
negates the entire article.
Either the guy needs to rewrite a bunch of it, with the price info corrected...
Or he should rewrite the entire thing, testing a Cayman S vs the other two.
To me it's quite clear that since the Cayman won out anyhow, the Cayman S
would have changed the complextion of the article so much that he'd have
to start from scratch - since he went on about power so much.
Imagine what would have happened if he had a Cayman S with
PASM to
test. Indeed.

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
|
 |
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.
