I had a Cayman for 24 hours and enjoyed it but for the reasons above (ride, noise) could not live with it as my only every-day car. I am booked in (I think) for a Boxster for 10 days later in the month when they fix 1 or 2 oil leaks. I am sure it will be fun, but again, I prefer something a bit more refined to liver with in the longer term. I have never been in a 911 on the road - maybe that is what I really need! The don't really seem keen to lend them out unless I book a formal test drive though.
Probably my age but after an hour not so much Grand Tourer more like “Grinding Torso”

I have to say that I found the standard seats unbelievably comfortable. Did a 6-7 hour round trip - with a funeral in the middle - and was fine. The noise levels were something else though. For the final 20 minutes or so got the hood down and that was a big improvement. All the booming disappeared.
I also thought it took speed bumps better than the Macan!

The trouble I have with the seats is that I feel there is something stuck behind my shoulders pushing them forwards. And no lumbar support. The car is growing on me, but I wouldn't get one without better seats - like the 14 way ones they have in their Cayman (at least I think that is what it had). As you say, it is noisy, especially with the sport exhaust button pressed. It is very agile though and quite fun!
