Before I had the Cayman, I had a SL500, I Never had any problems, but like kenzo2 mentioned, the older models has leaks problems. So far what I like about the car (besides been a convertible and a hard top), Integrated IPod, mp3 and usb connection. 40gb hard drive, integrated blue tooth, terrific sound system that sounds great with the top down or up, , and the best, 383 HP, is not a 911 on the 0 to 60, but once you have it running, you can fell the 383HP, I’m still breaking in it, so trying to keep it under control.
