I discovered a new white, brown leather Cayman S in the garage a couple of weeks ago; a gift from my wife to liven up a long commute which it does nicely. It has Bose, heated seats, power seats, all the stuff in the performance package plus and I have put on 610 lawfully driven miles so far with no surprises. The manual says take it easy (keep it under 4,200rpm) for 2,000 miles. That means 1,260 not very exciting miles ahead. After that I can tell it is going to be a sweet ride. Its initial fuel consumption is sky high but should improve. I had the 3M clear bra film installed. The car is tight, supple, loud, sticky, fast and driving it might be the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Porsche service costs a fortune, but the service personnel are top notch. This car is a blast to drive, Porsches are the only cars for me.
Ten months of pure joy

Second review - it's been 10 months and the sheer exhilaration of driving the Cayman S is unabated. From the looks of the car to the sweet notes of the exhaust when you redline the car to the cornering ability - pure JOY! It's even fun arguing with all my 911 owner friends which is really the better car (let's not forget Porsche intentionally hit sub 911 performance targets) a real shame, I was under the impression you engineered a car to the most it can be not fit into your marketing campaign, nonetheless my 2nd Porsche and the beginning of a lifelong infatuation with the Cayman S.
Porsche finally has it right.

I used to race Porsches and have been waiting for a Porsche that's better than the old 550 RS. I think this one is. Aside from an urge to drive 2 or 3 times the speed limit, this is a perfect car for me. However, that might not be for everyone. It's delightfully noisy, making the multispeaker radio not very useful at speed and hands-off cell phone calls are pretty nearly impossible. For a car that handles this well, it's incredibly comfortable. For a car that accelerates so vigorously and has a top speed around 170 mph, it is unbelievably docile in LA freeway traffic jams. I have about 18,000 miles on her (I name my cars, this one is Chloe) and have had no problems.
06 Cayman S is a winner

The most beautiful Porsche, ever. It looks great, feels great to drive, sounds great - and that Bose system is just amazing. Only downside is gas mileage.
red means go!

Luv This Red Cayman S

I bought my 2006 Cayman S about three years ago or more. I had a MR2 that continuously had engine related problems. Got totaled by a rear ender. I looked around and the ad came about from no where. I went to see the vehicle, drove it, and the rest is pleasant history. A few days after having the car, it would not start. Got a new battery, no more problems related to starting. A few weeks later the water pump started leaking. I was glad to know it only needed a water pump and not an engine. I replaced the rear trunk brake light. Since then the car has run as beautifully as it looks .It is a head turner though I try and maintain a sense of humility at the gas pump when people want to discuss it. I think the problems with the battery and water pump has to do with the car not being driven enough. It seems many people buy this car and let them sit to the side to save mileage or value on return. I think I got this car at just the right age to drive it responsibly. I agree with the other positive comments I have read.
