Only Minor Complaints

Buy this car. It's awesome. It's the only car that I have purchased in my life with NO regrets. I would buy it again today without hesitation, but these need to be fixed for 2007 / 2008: Interior cabin noise is loud. When driving on the weekends that's great (it's a sports car afterall), but Wednesday afternoon with a client on the phone ain't so cool! Callers often ask if I'm in a convertable. No audible horn or noise when locking and unlocking the vechicle from the exterior with the fob. You have to watch for two blicks of the lights when locking which can be difficult to see in the sun. Rear hatchback button on fob is TOO big. I accidently open the rear hatch a lot!

Watch out 911

I have driven BMWs for years now, but wanted more pure sports car for the track. This car was just plain awesome on the 2.5 mile Heartland Park road course. Porsche has to be under rating the speed and horsepower numbers on this car for fear of losing 911 sales. If Porsche wanted to tweak it some more, this car and engine could blow the 911 out of the water. This is a great car, hands down. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive. It's friendly as an everyday driver too.

A Love Affair

A car that is the essential sports coupe, its more nimble than a ballet dancer and hotter than a super model. This car is balanced to perfection. On short rides in traffic you feel like a jockey on a race horse surrounded by mules, on long rides where you can really open the car up. Turn off the radio and enjoy the music of the 295hp engine singing to you... It says go! Go Faster! Take the long way home!!!

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.
