A True Dream of a Car

2006 Porsche Cayman S 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 6M)

I've had my Cayman for two weeks and have put 600 miles on it. The car is a dream all the way around - loaded with PASM, Navigation, Bose stereo, heated seats, xeon, 19", sport chrono pack +, etc. Get the Nav and the CD can play MP3s, although just in a single drive. The Bose upgrade is worth every penny. It sounds better than my Bose system in the house. It's quick and sticks to the ground so well. Plus it is a true head turner!! The cup holders require fully covered lids and "small" sizes, unless you want to spill on your beautiful leather seats. I wish the steering wheel were just a bit smaller (probably an option). But all in all, I'd buy this car all over again. Oh what fun. And that engine sound - WOW!

Almost the Perfect Sports Car

The Cayman has incredible handling due to its mid-engine design. It is more fun to drive than cars that cost twice as much. It has excellent acceleration, though the car needs to be at least in the 3,000 rpm range for peak performance.

Better than the 911 I have dreamed about

Unlike all other sports cars I have owned or driven my Cayman S loves to dance. As an instructor for various car clubs I have had the chance to drive many Porsche products the way they were meant to be - on the track. The Cayman S in stock trim can run with race prepped older 911s and does a great job at hanging with the 997 cars. In my opinion to get a better track car you'd have to buy a GT3. To boot it has available all the creature comforts that you can afford to add, good economy (28mpg highway in my experience), and is a comfortable cruiser for 2 for the weekend. It gets looks all day long, as they are "rare".

Simply the finest auto I've ever driven. Everything about this machine has been thought out completely. Workmanship is outstanding.

Affordable 911

If you are trying to muster the financial gumption to buy a 911, stop in the Cayman department of your local Porsche dealer and examine the Cayman. For most of you, this is all the performance you need. I am not sure I can drive it to its full capabilities. Fun, good looking, a dream to drive and a lot less than a 911. Amazingly good ride for a short wheel base. Very cool cockpit and an intoxicating engine sound. Great value dollar for dollar.
