Simply Amazing and Still strong at 95k miles

This car is the best daily driver true sports car you will ever own (unless you want to fit more than 2 ppl). I've driven Lambo, Ferrari, etc... truly amazing cars, but not daily drivers. In this car you can fully utilize it's power and agility on the road while having the reliability of a Honda or Toyota. I'm near the 100k mark and have had no major issues. You want a safe car? This is it. You have all the tools you need to be an offensive driver and when those tools fail, you are surrounded by airbags to soften the blow. This car will follow your line of sight and place you exactly where you tell it to. It's an extension of the driver. This could easily be the only car I ever own.

2007 Porsche Cayman S

What an outstanding car! My last two cars were 'vettes. This car is superior in performance, handling, quality and more fun to drive. I get compliments everywhere I go. Definitely get the PASM and spend the extra money on the leather interior - you will be glad you did. The quality and worksmanship of the full leather is unbelievable. Only get the chrono package if you are going to track the car. I wish I had chosen the sport shifter, but the stock six-speed shifter is still the best I've driven. The Carrera 19" wheels painted in the exterior body color is awesome.

Possibly My Last Car

Since 1992 I've owned the following cars: two twin turbo Toyota Supras, three Acura NSXs, a Honda S2000, and four BMW M3s. I've driven all these cars on the Sebring race track and I was completely blown away by the Cayman S. The handling, power (especially in low gears), the clutch/gearbox, and brakes are phenominal. I was convinced that I was getting the new Z4 M Coupe, but I was lucky enough to have a dealership that had both cars to drive. I drove them 30 minutes apart and the Cayman S was beyond better in every area (except cup holder). I found the car with the options I wanted and had it home one week later.

Cayman S Overview

2006 Porsche Cayman S 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 6M)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful

So far my Cayman S has averaged 25-28 mpg. You must use premium fuel in it. It has very firm seats. You must be careful of moving the passenger seat all the way back. It will activate airbag warning system. The dark tinted rear window makes it difficult to see out back. The buttons on the key activate the trunk and engine lids too easily. You must be very careful of potholes in the road, the rims are easily damaged due to their low profile. They are expensive to replace or repair. This car is really fun to drive. It delivers exhilarating performance above 4,000 rpm, It has a low ground clearance, so you must be aware of debris on roads and in driveways. It is easy to strike the undercarriage.

The Porsche Cayman provides really amazing bang for the buck. This car handles impeccably. My only compliant is that the car could use a few more horsepower, but I guess they need to protect the Carerra. It does zero to sixty in 5.1 seconds, which is still pretty darn quick. It is a blast to drive. The sound of the engine above 4,,000 rpm is exquisite. I miss it when I'm not driving. I would skip the Bose stereo system, but the sport shifter and PASM are recommended. It looks great in silver, and much better in person than in photos. I recommend it over the stock Carrera for all around fun, the C4 and turbo versions excepted.

I have to say I have always been a practicality guy when it comes to cars and depreciating items. This car beats my reason into submission and gets me on an adrenaline program. Its build quality is beyond what you would ever see in almost any other mark. The ride is like a rollercoaster that will not leave the track and the look is more exotic than anything Porsche has made in recent history. As Ferris Bueller said "If you have the money, I highly recommend it." The engine noise is a sweet tune and the grip is like nothing else. The seats are better than most aftermarket models and the curves of the body almost make you blush. It looks great in every color they make, leaving you smiling.

This is by far the best car Porshe has made. The performance and handling is utterly amazing. I own a porshe 911, and personally i believe the cayman looks and handles much better, for a much better price. However this car is not as fast as my Ferrari 350 modena.

A True Dream of a Car

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!

A review after 6yrs of ownership

Phil Garcia, 08/03/2022
2006 Porsche Cayman S 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 6M)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

-Mileage when purchased: 48k -Mileage when sold: 77k -Repairs: RMS ($4K), that’s it -Maintenance during ownership: front and rear brakes, cabin and oil filters. Completed all oil changes and brake jobs myself. This car is very easy to work on, especially the brakes. As for oil the car burned a very tiny amount. Maybe a half liter every 4K miles. I send my oil to black forest labs and it always came back with flying colors (used DT Driven) -Comfort: I’m 6’2, athletic build (200ish lbs). I could’ve used a little more leg room, seats were too narrow for me up in the shoulder area, I could never rest my back completely flat. -Ride and handling: This car is so precise it can almost become boring. There’s no drama, limits are higher than you’ll ever need for the street. When you find the short back to back twisties is when you really have fun. Car does a surprisingly good job on bad roads. Shifter is a little mushy, aftermarket kits can probably help. -Power: This isn’t a muscle car and it’s 16yrs old. There’s Camrys out there that are going to out pull you at stop lights. With that said when you master it’s torque range and fine tune your shifting skills to the car it’s more than enough. I probably would’ve kept this car for forever if I had enough space. It’s beautiful to look at it, above average functionality with the trunk and frunk, sounds great. It’s also very reliable.

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.

Best balanced sports car I’ve ever owned: powerful, slot-car-like handling due to mid-engine weight distribution, better than 911 styling (rear “hipped” fenders), reasonable day-to-day driver, excellent manual gearbox

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".

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!

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.

I recently purchased a Cayman S after reading many reviews. I considered a 911 but test drove this car and was sold instantly. Just last night another driver pulled up besides to give me a thumbs up. Its so much fun to drive that I have to wipe the smile on my face after each drive. I have driven it about 2,000 miles in all conditions. I just returned from a weekend road trip and it performed flawlessly. Its handling and control were awesome at all speeds! It had enough room for luggage and packages purchased with room to spare.

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!!!

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.

First let me start by saying I built my Cayman on-line months before it was available. I almost didn't get it because when I called the dealer they said that all there cars were spoken for. Anyway I went into the dealer on the first day and they actually had a car the way I wanted, without all the extra bells and whistles. This car has muscle, it's been 20 years since my last Porsche and this car sets the standard. It handles great, its mileage is decent, and the comfort is good. The Cayman gets a lot of looks. I've gotten many of nods of approval, and best of all I feel great. I finally know what it's like to be in the garage at night, washing the windows and dusting it off.

Turns out the motor was tearing itself to pieces when they said it was normal .. so out of warrantee it needs a motor. PORSCHE DID THE RIGHT THING AND replaced the motor.. it still cost me big.. But thats beside the point. I bought this car as a sportscar I can enjoy everyday. This motor only lasted as long as the tires. Its serviced reg. not tracked and stock.. not the robust car I thought I bought.Now my dream cars a nightmare and I don't know what to do with it. afarid to drive it over 22K

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.

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.

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.

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.

I just picked up my Cayman as a weekend car. So far it hasn't disappointed. Had a minor computer error relating to the passenger airbag, but it cleared up by wiggling the seat around. I chose a pretty plain package- wanted it for performance vs. bells and whistles. The car definitely will get looks- even had someone snap a picture from their phone at a stoplight. I am 6'1" and legroom is a little tight if driving for much more than 1 hour. This thing is a rocket- Drive it like you stole it!

After selling my BMW 330 convertible, I went into the Porsche dealership to test drive a Boxster S and ended up purchasing the Cayman S and I have no regrets. There is no comparison between the Boxster S and Cayman S....the Cayman blows it away, It has much better performance and handling and a sleeker style. The styling is so incredible that everywhere I go I get compliments on the car.

The Cayman's gorgeous exterior and interior have drawn more appreciative comments than any car I've owned. The optional leather interior is worth the (high) price, as are the more attractive 19" wheels and the sport seats and steering wheel. The chrono looks good, but like the Sport package is worthwhile only if you plan for track use. Its power is especially good at high RPM, ok at low RPM too but not like my Z06 Corvette. The engine sound is exhilarating but can get tiring on the highway. The optional stereo is excellent.

I purchased my Cayman S 2 1/2 weeks ago and have driven 2,150 miles to date. What an awesome machine! Putt around town, in traffic and keep the rpm below 4,000 rpm and you have a very docile, easy to drive pussy cat...put your foot into it and it becomes a TIGER above 4,500 rpm. I chose the car for it's styling, handling and engineering and it has far surpassed any expectations I had! To me this machine is a culmination of the very best of every Porsche ever made! Next time I'll pass on the Bose system, as I find the bass a bit too flabby for my taste. For those who want more power, try the driving school, as the race track is the ONLY place you might need more power.

New Car Impressions

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.

It's a Sweet Ride

I've had my Porsche Cayman for three weeks now. It's physically a very beautiful car that was designed by engineers. I think the most outstanding aspect is that it is so well balanced. Having the sweet sounding engine mounted aft of your head provides music to the ears (it is not overbearing at all). I chose a lighter paint job (silver) so one can appreciate the beautiful lines. I saw a medium seal grey metallic type paint at the dealer that I thought looked even better than mine. I'd venture that the most common color chosen is silver. The car turns heads, but that isn't why I got it (I'd actually prefer an invisible car). I got it because it appeared to be the best sports car for less than $100,000.

As pretty as it is, the Porsche Cayman S drives and corners better. I have absolutly no complaints other than a removable engine cover would have been nice. I believe it will live up to all of the write ups I have been reading about it for the last three years. Where do I go from here?

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.

My 2006 Porsche Cayman S' body structure feels like it is carved from a rock, but at the same time the car feels light on its feet. It has an absolutely gorgeous curvacious body and nice sounds coming from the rear. Every girls love it!

The Cayman is one great coupe! I was going to order a MZ4 Coupe, but after seeing it at the auto show, no way. The Cayman S is way better looking and if you can afford one this is the best sports coupe for the buck! This is my second Porsche, it is far superior to the base 911.

Great, Fun to Drive Car

I managed to buy one of the two Caymans that the factory shipped to Qatar at the beginning of the year (Artic silver, full options "sports" version). It proves to be the perfect car for daily commuting through town, touring along the Cornice and of course, the somewhat higher speed runs on the highways through the country. I am looking forward to take it out on the race track!

911 Detour

If you are out shopping for a 911 stop by the Cayman department at your local porsche dealer first and save a lot of money. There is so many good things about this car. Terrific handling, to die for cockpit, intoxicating sound and performance, gorgeous looks. My first drive was a 650 mile drive through the mountain west and was as much fun as humans should be allowed to have. This car, dollar for dollar is just about the best thing going. I would love to have a 911 some day, but it may be a while because I love this Cayman.

After three weeks and 1,250 miles, I can honestly say this is the finest car I've ever driven. It has fabulous looks and handling and it is very comfortable with lots of room for a 2 seater. The brakes are wonderful, shifter like butter, and the engine sounds are awesome. I don't mind a long drive in this car, and everyone loves it wherever you go. The car has no bad habits.
