What color/options do I get?

I am planning on ordering a 2009 cayman S and am having a difficult time deciding between the following.

Carrera White



Turquoise Blue Porsche




Also, I am considering getting the sport bucket seats(good or bad idea)? This will be the car I drive everyday.... I want exhaust and don't know if I should go with the porsche exhaust or if I should get an aftermarket exhaust to get more HP.

Thanks in advance for the replies!

Re: What color/options do I get?

Although I find the blue colour to be very cool, it's not for everyone. Most Cayman buyers are successful and mature guys in their 30s and that colour can be perceived as loud and a bit funky, which might come and bite you when you want to sell the car. That's the only issue, resale value as the colour is special.

Since you're going to be using the car everyday there is no denying that normal seats will serve you better in the long run as they are more gentle on the back.

Sports Chrono plus Posche's sports exhaust shall provide an adequate amount of excitement in the exhaust note.

Re: What color/options do I get?

I am only 23 and live in south, FL. I don't mind having a car that stands out. Also, I will be leasing the car so I will not be worried about getting rid of the car once my lease is up.

I love the bucket seats, and from sitting in them once or twice I personally like the way they hold me. It is a little difficult to get in and out of them, but I could live with that. I just don't want to hurt my back driving a car everyday with seats like that... Good or bad idea?

Re: What color/options do I get?

Perfect then, go for that colour, I personally like it! Great way to fit in amongst lime green Lambos and red Ferraris Porsche's sports seats are very comfortable so you won't hurt your back. In the end it's a compromise off course but hey sometime in our lives we all have to go all the way when buying a sports car, the tradeoffs are sometimes worth it. What suspension are you opting for? Standard, PASM or -20mm?

Re: What color/options do I get?

I wasn't planning on changing the suspension. Is that something I should consider doing? This car is already getting pretty pricy for being a cayman. Trying not to go toooooo crazy! Porsche has to many options to choose from.
