Fabulous Driver's Car

This is the best driver's Porsche south of a 911 RS. The mid-engined layout offers balance and feedback to the driver which is matched only by a Lotus Exige (the difference being that you can get in and out of the Cayman without being a contortionist). It looks much better in the metal than in photographs and the looks grow on you too. Buy it in red or black - rather spend your money on the PASM active suspension option than pay for metallic paint. If you see someone driving a 911 you're never sure if they have bought it for the image - you can be sure the Cayman owner bought it for sheer thrill of driving.

First Porsche

This car brings the fun and excitement back to driving. I have had numerous sports cars, the most recent being a 2005 Corvette. The Caymen S doesn't have the brute power of the vette, but with the mid engine you feel like you are part of the road and in control. My car has not had any problems to speek of, except for a faulty radio, which was promptly replaced.

Cayman S

In one word "BALANCE." The Cayman is not the fastest Porsche out there, but it is the most balanced Porsche out there. Its handling combined with it's 295HP motor makes it the best driving Porsche to date. Its fit and finish is right up there with the 997s, and it is likely better looking than the 997. I added the Short Shift Kit from Porsche after delivery made and that made it even sweeter to drive. I can say there isn't a better sports car out there for under $120,000 that can touch it.

"Performance car of the year!"

The Cayman S has great performance and is truly fun to drive. I have driven Maserati, Aston Martin, and Ferrari, but this is one of my favorites. I have always been a Porsche fan. It's easy to drive and has a great sleek design. The great thing about the Cayman S is it looks much more expensive than the car is priced. The only other car I have driven that comes close is the Maserati Quattroporte and the Aston Martin Vanquish. I love my Cayman S.

My 2006 Porsche Cayman has been an incredible all around sports car - not just for performance but for its ease of use around the city.
