Review
Handling without peer; superb balance in the corners; unmatched braking; Porsche quality. Car is funnest to drive of any I've had (inc. Vettes and Vipers) - pure driving experience. Commands attention. Xenon lights a must. Buy the S model, you'll thank yourself in the end.

Review
I bought a silver 2007 Cayman with Tiptronic in September 2007. I believe it's one of the few Caymen with Tiptronics in CA. Engine: Tiptronic still delivers excellent power / acceleration without the Cayman S engine. Best of all, it's idiot proof. Inside: the cockpit design is unique. To quote my wife, it feels like getting into a 007 car. However, Tiptronic handle bar does not light up at night. Ride experence: a luxury sedan can get you from point A to point B quietly, without you ever noticing its presence. A Cayman, on the other hand, will turn each driving trip into a Disneyland theme park ride - fun, exciting, but not scary.

This is a sportscar that has to be driven to be believed and for the normal driver the 2.7 has more than enough hp and torque to keep a permanent grin on your face. As mine is a daily driver, in heavy traffic, I chose the Tiptronic and I'm not disappointed with its performance at all. In manual mode it shifts extremely quickly and it screams thru the twisty turns, easily keeping pace with my buddy's Corvette... without ever touching the brakes. The car is a real looker in meteor gray with the Boxster S wheels, chrome twin exhaust and I really like the preferred package extra touches. Be prepared to talk "Porsches" to complete strangers drooling over your car as most have never seen one.

This is my first Porsche after a myriad of other sports cars, Z4, RX-8, several Miatas, SLK, etc. The Cayman S is without question superior to all of the foregoing. Its sound is intoxicating as is its performance and handling, and brakes. It works well as a daily driver, too. It has very satisfactory storage space and holds my golf clubs in the rear trunk with a little juggling. It is just a great car that Porsche is holding back on to keep the iconic 911 on top.

Bought 6 speed manual Cayman S as pleasure driver, not everyday commuter. Have had for 2 months, have about 3000 miles on it, highlight was a drive up and back on back roads including Highway 1 LA to Monterey for MotoGP a few weeks ago. Handling, shifting, road feel superb, I spent a lot of time going through the twisties and laughing out loud with pleasure. Has plenty of power on the street to get you tickets even if it does not have 911 hp. And it is not even broken in yet. Car gets a lot of looks, and I love the look of it (and I hate the Boxster.) Yes the car is noisy and a very firm ride (19 inch wheels), stereo is so so but listening to the engine is the real musical experience!

I've had my '07 Cayman S for about a month now and all I can say is WOW! Of the Porsches I have owned and driven, this is by far and away the best handling and best looking. The husky exhaust note and power @ 4500 rpms and above is incredible. The Cayman S is 100% pure sports car. With a few tweaks to the 3.4 ltr. engine, suspension and exhaust coupled with the mid engine platform, the Cayman S's performance is as good if not better than the 997 for a lot less money.

The Cayman S is simply the best sports car for the buck. No, it's not the fastest, but straight-line speed is only a part of the equation. This car handles like no other I've owned, including a multitude of Benzes, BMWs, Miatas and an RX-8. To add to its value, it is a useful sports car with decent storage and trunk space for its two passengers. And it works as a daily driver with decent gas mileage and comfort. This car is a truly wonderful machine that Porsche will probably regret that they built once 911 owners find out that buying down will give them a new high!

This car is so fun to drive. I love the automatic transmission (can't drive a stick anymore for medical reasons). I get a lot of looks in this car.

Have had the 2.7L base Cayman for three months. Almost the performance of the S model for $10K less. Car puts smiles on my face everytime I drive it. Hugs the corners like its glued to the road. Excellent build quality and gorgeous sheet metal - lots of compliments.

Review
I drooled over the Cayman for a month before finally buying the car. I think it is a real stunner in sheet metal, prettiest car on the road. I am starting to find the interior noise and the rough ride wearing on my nerves, especially if the pavement is rough. I came out of a 330ci that was a nice car and almost as peppy, but not as much fun to drive. The dealer suggested I change out the tires to a non performance model but that is a bit costly so I guess I'll just deal with the road noise. I can't imagine going on a long trip in the Cayman without plenty of Motrin. Starting to remind me of my ex - beautiful to look at but hard to take after awhile. Maybe I just miss my BMW.
