Not me!!! But, I was told that someone traded in their Cayman S, with about 1,000 miles to obtain a 997 S. The reason - the 997S seats are a little wider, so the car is more comfortable.
That's the reason to have adaptive sport seats. The $3K is a savings over being uncomfortable in the stock seats to the point that you throw another $25K down on a 997 S.
Un ******** believable!!

Cayman S - a portable amusement park
Seats wider? More comfortable? That sounds odd. I couldn't notice a difference between my 997 and when I tested the Cayman. Cabin width maybe by a minute margin, but certainly not the seats.
Funny, I'm just the other way around, I'm trying to get outta my 997 and into a Cayman! Anyone wanna trade?

A straight trade? Are you sure? What color combo and options do you have on your 997? mileage?

Seats are the same but there is more leg room in 997 and more space to either side of the seat, but not a lot more. Sounds like someone simply couldn't handle the sportiness of the Cayman S!
It feels more luxurious in the 997... more leg room, more space (more moveabiliity with the seats) and a bigger feeling, reminds me of being in the LX470. Sure, people who are more clausophobic shouldn't get the CS and go for the 997- for me, I like the snug, slightly cramped feeling you get in the CS opposed to the 997. The 997 interior just feels just too big. the CS just feels like an extension of your arms...
As of yesterday, there is a used Cayman with ~1,000 mi sitting for sale at an Atlanta, GA Porsche dealer, according to my brother- wonder if this is the traded car in question?

umm...the Carrera feels like a Lexus LX470?? that is going a bit far..but for sure the cockpit does feel a tad roomier. i was pretty sure the seats were the same though--just more travel and an inch or so more elbow room in the carerra. Note, though, that the head room in the Cayman is luxurious! I am tall in the torso and love that..that's why i could never get a Boxster-my head always hit the roof with the top up.
No question in my mind that the Carerra feels a bit more luxurious and roomier all around. that's what you get in exchange for less cargo space (did I mention that the Cayman is my preferred grocery run transport now?) and $15k or so.
Hi guys, have just joined from Australia and wanted to let you know. Have ordered a Cayman which is due to arrive next month to join our 996 cab (04) and Boxster S (00) - all silver!
My Cayman has been ordered with 19 inch wheels, sports seats, PASM and minor other options.
Congratulations on a terrific forum. My son is 16 and tracks the Boxster as it is possible to obtain a related motorsport licence here at 14! We will enjoy this site..
Best wishes
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.

People trade cars all the time for all sorts of reasons.They trade up, down, and sometimes out. I don't think there is any generalizable statement to make from a a guy who trades his Cayman for a 997.
