Lightbulb Worst thing about the Cayman?

We are all full of praise for the Cayman but there are just a few minor things that could have been done better...

Having a right hand drive version here, there is one BIG thing that annoys the heck out of me. That damn right hand side air intake fan! Being in a warm to hot climate here it seems it is always running and the noise level is so loud it is rather embarrassing and VERY annoying I must say. Porsche seriously needs to cut the noise level of this. You guys hearing this???

Could be a good idea to compile a sticky hit list of things Porsche should improve on in the design.

Worst thing about the Cayman? The passenger seat. I prefer to enjoy my cars alone.

Left hand drive version. When passenger window or door is open I can hear the engine suction. To me, it is a sweet powerful sound.

Porsche could make the battery a bit lighter and I would prefer if the exhaust tail pipes individually exited through the rear left and right sides instead of the middle. Other than that, this car rocks!

1. Hatch clunk.

2. Terrible stereo (with or eithout BOSE) and no iPod support.

Both inexcusable in a car this expensive.

The hassle of multi cd changer/ipod etc. It's been a long time since there was this much hassle of getting more than one cd available to you. This is a minor gripe however, I love this car.
