It's a clever design architecture and sharper edgier lines giving that impression as the external dimensions are the same but the interior feels so much bigger than it actually is. I have always owned small cars and being a Mini driver I don't find the 987 dimensions a challenge at all so if I went 981 GTS knowing it's an optical illusion I am sure I wouldn't feel I had just bought something huge like I do when I sit in an F Type/ AMV/ Merc SL or Ferrari 430. If you are reading this it would be a good time to hear from Tracy who uses her 981 as a daily driver and has had 986's 987's to add an accurate view to the debate about perceived size matters[ORIGINAL: flat6 I do like the look of the 981 Cayman. The magic trick of looking bigger on the outside and actually being bigger on the inside, whilst having pretty much the same dimensions as the 987, is baffling. However, what leaves me undecided is that I don't want a 2 seater car to feel particularly big from the driver's seat.
