I received my J.D. Power 2006 Vehicle Quality Survey in the mail today. It said:


Please answer regarding your new 2006 Porsche Boxster.


I'll set them straight on the Cayman.


Speaking of new Caymans, I passed a new white Cayman with the split rear spoiler up this evening - very beautiful on the highway.

Split rear spoiler? You mean it had two seperate spoilers, one above the other?

Sounds nice.

Russ,


The Cayman's split rear spoiler, which automatically elevates when you exceed 74 mph. I mentioned this becauseI haven't had many opportunities to see the rear end of the Cayman going that fast with its spoiler in the up position. I followed the Cayman a while just to enjoy the view which is unlike any other car.

I had mine activate about three times as I brought it home last night. Ihad the wife report the status back to meon the cell. [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thumbsup.gif[/img] [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/crazy.gif[/img]

Rudy,


Congratulations on your delivery. I am sure you are enjoying every minute of the new Cayman.

I also received my survey with a crispy new one dollar bill enclosed, which I thought odd.





Mike

Can any of you figure out how to see if your spoiler goes up while cruising? I've been alone a number of times and in the right MPH zone, but can't see if it's up as I quickly crane my neck around. In my 911 I could see it extended (but just barely).

PA,
You could try holding a mirror out of window to get an angle on the spoiler. But I don't recommend this since you'll be going over 72 mph. Of course, you could also do it standing still by pressing the button that extends the spoiler with your right hand while holding the mirror with your left. Not as much fun as at speed, but safer.

With inflation, J.D.Power should enclose a crisp new 20 dollar bill.

Better return those surveys!I recall reading a sumary report on the most recent JD Power auto results and Porsche were rated worst (out of 35) for initial (first 90 days) car quality! I believe that the Cayenne was largely to blame.

Here is what I would put on my survey:

No problems whatsoever. The car is perfect. I've never had the pleasure of owning or driving an automobile as fine. Picked it up on 1/14 and have 3600 miles.

Thanks mpollard,

I got it. One day I put my spolier up and just left it there, couldn't see it while driving but thought it would look pretty cool.
