A bit hard to read, as the resolution isn't holding up to when I zoom in. Could be the iPad, but I haven't had issues before.

After reading this review about the Porsche Cayman and the FR-S I am really excited about taking delivery of my FR-S. I was thinking about purchasing a used Porsche Cayman until I read an article about the FR-S in Autoweek a few months ago. I have read many reviews on the FR-S and every driver said the FR-S is "FUN" to drive. Can't wait!

The things I would do for a new Cayman S...
 The FRS is just far more manageable in terms of the hit on finances though...I see the FRS as good practice for the Cayman S... |
