2007 Porsche Cayman 2dr Coupe (2.7L 6cyl 5M)
20 of 20 people found this review helpful
I purchased the Cayman to replace our '05 SLK350 and drive it primarily on weekends. I test drove most of the competition as well as the Cayman S and 911 Cabriolet. For me, the Cayman has the perfect blend of style, performance, efficiency and value. Sure, there are times when I think I could use the extra hp but those times have been seldom. Although some will tell you that they prefer the more "classic" line of the 911, I think the Cayman is in a style class by itself. Just hand the key to any valet if you need confirmation. If you want a livable, fun to drive two seater, I don't think there is any car on the market that can match the new Cayman.

This is the first Porsche that I have fit into, barring the sunroofless GT3. I have been in a sports car-less funk since I sold my '95 Miata R-package. The Cayman is the perfect replacement. It is a comfortable daily commuter with absolutely brilliant handling and perfect suspension tuning. The 2.7 liter six engine is an absolute gem, very flexible and aurally pleasing. It is also very practical with both trunks and cabin storage.

Better Than My 2003 BMW M3

This is easily the best overall perfoming car that I have owned. It feels quicker than my BMW M3, except from 70 mph up. Its handling outshines all (for the money) except the Lotus Elise, but the build quality and sound from behind you more than make up for any performance difference. The ride quality allows for daily driving without punishment. Additionally, the manual transmission is wonderfully weighted and precise.

I previously had an SLK and a Z4 convertible. This 2 dr Cayman is so much more fun to drive. I feel like a million dollars whenever I get in it and have owned it for a year and I am not bored with it yet. I bought it used with low miles and would only trade it in if I was buying another Porsche.

I have only owned my 2007 Cayman S 6 speed for a few weeks but I felt compelled to write this review for others looking to purchase. I CAN NOT say long term if this car will be as reliable as they say but in the fist few weeks I CAN say is this is one of the most exhilarating cars I've driven besides my 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10. The 911 guys may call this and the Boxster the "Poor man's Porsche" but I can only imagine one would say this because they are upset at themselves for spending so much money on a 911 when the Cayman is, in many ways, a better car. I do not know how the regular Cayman would compare to my S model since I have not driven one to compare but I absolutely love every moment of driving this car. It is my daily driver other than during inclement weather I have a truck for. The fuel consumption is not bad and storage is quite surprising. Driving this car is not like driving anything else. Is truly is a drivers car and an experience I have yet to find with driving anything else. If you are scared to buy one of these cars because of the dreaded IMS bearing issue, DO YOUR RESEARCH and then decide. The 00-05 model year's were the most widely affected due to a thin single row bearing. The 06-08 had a single row bearing as well but it was a wider bearing like that of the pre 00 model years with the dual row bearing and has said to have a very low failure rate (Around 1%). I personally think this is one of the best sports for the price. It is a Porsche though so with that said, maintenance is not the cheapest so find a good Indy shop with a Porsche specialist. If you are considering one of these fine cars, go and test drive one. But don't do it without having funds available to purchase because you will want to take it home!!!

We have had this car for about a month. It is much faster than our '06 Boxster. The engine sounds great. We have an automatic, which makes it a bit of a gas hog, but it shifts quickly and rockets away from the line.
Fantastic Car!

In everyday driving the Cayman is civilized, comfortable, and easy to drive. When the traffic thins out and the road opens up, it takes on a whole different personality, gobbling up twists and turns with the engine roaring like a savage beast. After a month I still haven't really used the Bose sound system. The sound of the engine is even better music to my ears. Now that the break-in period is over, I can savor the sounds of the upper rpm range... sweeeet!

I just got a new 2007 Cayman S model. I am very happy with it overall. It is great looking, well built, and has a nice interior. It's also very quick. It drives like a sports car, meaning a firm, but not harsh ride. I went with the 19" wheels. Some options should be standard, but that's Porsche. Its gas mileage stinks, but that's to be expected. This car has great German engineering all around, even in the smallest details.
I wouldn't own any other Porsche. CAYMAN S

I bought my Cayman S on New Year's Eve as those 2008s were filling the lot. I got an amazing price break I sold my last Z-3 M-series to Porsche on New Year's Eve where I got an amazing price for the car of my dreams.n The Cayman S. I was annoyed that BMW made the Z-4 for the (true) reason of size. People over a certain girth had problems getting comfortable....so they made the interior bigger for the standard American body type, That ended my BMW Z-3 great love when they changed the model to the Z-4. I had 3 Z-3s from 97-07. Then came my Cayman-S. My Cayman still turns heads and I still get the 'nice new car..congratulations' ..after 14 years. The car is a coupe and the lines of the design are stunning and thus so far, the best of all the designed models since 2009, It is still relatively unknown to 'non-Porsche people, and as it looks...almost customized. It is a wonder that Porsche still has not realized that Cayman should be in the 911 group. I'd take this over a 911 any day. I have had one accident that was significantly major over the years since,2008. I live 40 miles from Manhattan but it is very removed with open space and forests. I had a deer jump out in front of the car as I was driving 70 mpg enjoying the precision and hug of the road that never tires me. Okay Porscheophiles it is hard to drive this car slowly. , I drove into a herd/group of deer on the road and the car turned round and round and stopped by falling down a small ravine. The airbags h opened and I was very stunned. As I got out of the car since I felt okay, my first thought was to check the front end. It had become an accordion but...I had just one scratch on my nose after crashing at 70 MPH. Of course, I had a heart attack when I saw my car, not caring about anything else. It is my baby! Porsche was so amazed by my story that they offered to send my car to the Porsche factory and fix it so it would be as if nothing happened. That was swell as I am very 'loyal' to Porsche. In return, they had my written permission to use my story. Although I still am adjusting the power gadgets for the perfect sitting position, I have nothing else to say except this is hands down...the best decision I have ever made. Another plus. I am a performer in Manhattan and the purity of the BOSE in the small space of this car is joyful. When I drive up the exit from the highway accelerating from 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds and then stop on a dime...I realize again and again how the brakes are the best ever made. The purring of the engine is softer yet sounds like nothing else but a Porshe. The car is truly low maintenance. Since 08' ...I've only needed to replace my gear stick, tires, and the catalytic converter. That is amazing.One caveat. I would like to have Bluetooth and the new SiRIUS radio stations. Okay...I get to play my CDs. Although I've taken care of this car as it is my pride and joy, I have only a carport and it passes the winter uneventfully. As a guy who likes to feel the rush of being one with my car...this is the ultimate, perfect car, still, for me. (forgive typos..reading glasses are missing). It is now 2024 and mt CaymanS 2007 lasted from 07-24. When I was going to NH for weekends at my vacation house, I'd accelerate from 50 to......and my body would push me back. The car was still in perfect condition on the exterior and the interior was just worn here and there. Vermont has a speed limit of 75.The Police are very easy. I'b in the left lane, two car spots apart, about 6 cars and we were all driving 100-110, very safe. I was not even aware of the speed. I had finally found the area to tet the car and open it up. 15 years after obtained. Speeding up to (I can't say it...but major speed) and my baby hugged the road so that I never felt out of control. I was at 90 when I turned a corner and voila! A moose! Just maneuvered around it like a pro :). Sadly, my motor block finally had a permanent oil spill internally and that was that. I mourned. I must say though, I was 40 when I got 'Guard Red' and now in my mid-50s, the Cayman S 2022 that I bought (Pre-certified, 2000 miles, loaded) was the special metallic Silver which being older, feels right (I miss my 07-guards red). This car makes 250 HP and my 07 was 295. I did go from 6 cylinder to 4 but man. This car is even more powerful than my previous baby. When in 'Sport Mode' (07 did not have this), I am slowly finding my comfort zone as the acceleration and speed is ridiculous. Before I bought this car, I tested the 911 (entry), the iconic Porsche. I am convinced that the Cayman S 718 2022 and the GTS are far superior. My S has much better handling on the road. My old 07 was sold to a pro sports-car driver. He races the car!. Alors. In 2041 (If Putin doesn't blow up the world), I will be that old man at 70 buying his new and last Cayman. The interior is terrific. Much improved audio choices, seats 2 inches wider and more driving positions. They still have those tacky cup holders :) THe side panel is completely changed. I love the outside form but my older Cayman S had thinner lines and curved in on the side with more of a uber sports car look in the back. The car is a bit more noisy but it is less so when out of Sports Mode. Starting from gear 1 is a more smooth ride and the same as it is sliding into 2. 2 can elevate in speed at least 20 miles more than the 07. I love this new Cayman S. I'll always miss the 07. :)

Ah, what a car. I tested several others - STi, 'Vette, 335i, 370Z. This is the only one that felt just right. Came from a '06 Miata so I didn't want a large car. This had the power, sound, handling, looks...everything. It's just right for me. Sometimes I just wish it had a backseat so I could share the experience w/ more than 1 other person at a time. I have the Carmon Red and it's a beauty but I'm actually surprised at the smiles I get. She definitely holds her own at track days as well of course. Yes, the cup holders seem rather delicate and not well placed - that's why I don't use them. The xenon headlights are very good and I'm happy w/ the stereo. Certified warranty is excellent too!

Driving the Cayman s brilliant. Even sitting in it you feel 50% better for being alive. Everything is to hand switchgear wise, plenty of seat adjustment, good visibility. The responsiveness of the engine when you are already cruising at 80 reminds you that its really going at half speed. It is so solid on the road that even with side winds doing high speeds. Long bends where previous cars would go light at speed are no problem at all. The only drawback so far are the chips from small stones on the bonnet - well you can't have everything. I bought the plastic trays for the front and rear storage as recommended by the local Porsche Club chairman. Roll on the Panamera : )
Three years of happy ownership.

Very enjoyable car, nice ride, great sound and decent power from the 2.7 six. Engine very flexible and very smooth. AC keeps up with high summer temps. New cost is moderately high but used/certified cost is a lot of car for the money. Design is wonderful and stays in style for a long time. Wonderful sound and driving experience.

I traded in my 2004 Nissan 350Z and what a difference. The Cayman is refined, has smooth power, incredible brakes, and handling that is go-cart like. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this design is a BEAUTY! It has class, balance, and style. My Cayman has no options except 18" Cayman S wheels which I highly recommend and the Arctic Silver Metallic paint. You don't need anything else and this gets you a sub $50,000 race car for the road.

Without a doubt the Cayman is the best car I have owned, my previous car was an Audi A6 2.7T. This car does it all, it's fast, handles great, and turns heads. It has plenty of usable power. It sounds awesome accelerating. Its build quality is first class. Porsche has built a winnner.

The vehicle has been perfect for my needs; I commute daily and also enjoy performance driving at the track. I kept the vehicle in stock form and it has not given me any grief or issues. A coolant leak that occurred was handled promptly by dealer under warranty, and that has been the only reliability issue for the past 68K miles. This vehicle exceed my expectations in terms of reliability, versatility and fun factor.

Perfect, no frills, driver's sports car. 2.7 liter flat six. 250 hp w/ 5-speed manual tranny. Sound like the specs of a 1973 911RS which now sells for at least a half-mil? Bought it seven years ago for $30K; just sold it for $20K w/ 36,000 on the odo. Hard to imagine a better deal for a buyer. Rock solid sports car with a good bit of snob appeal. Note: poor rating for headlights is based on significant fogging of headlight units even when the car was garaged 95% of time. Expected better of headlight units that cost $2K to replace. Fortunately, my indie mechanic was able to refinish them to new-looking for about $200

This car is one of the best handling cars I've ever had. I used to race a fully track prepared EVO VIII and the Cayman S is as close as cars come to that. Very exciting over 5200 RPM, plenty of torque and engine sound is aggressive, yet more refined than some kid with a coffee can import. Better yet, it's a great daily driver with plenty of room for groceries, luggage and whatever else you could want (that was the tipping point for me between the Cayman and the 911).

The balanced nature of this car stuns me every time I drive it. The combination of chassis, steering, transmission and engine are the best I have ever experienced. It is an easy car to drive around town, but one time on a twisty mountain road is all it takes to feel the superlative power and handling. It is also the best-looking car I've ever owned. The Cayman is surprisingly practical: trunks front and rear mean errands, weekend getaways for two, or even two sets of golf clubs get the green light. The car has been mechanically flawless for 2+ years, although it has two niggling rattles.

Beautiful car, fantastic performance. This car is great on the street and on the track. On the track, handling is precise and the brakes are awesome. Enough power to stay with all but the turbo's. Wide power band. This engine loves 6200 rpm. On the street, it attracts a lot of attention. Lots of leg and head room. Interior quality is superb.

I am 6' and 220 lbs. Nice head/leg/cargo room. Have 11,000 miles on the car driving locally, and to and from CA from Fl. Comfortable long distance driver. Outstanding looks. Have been stopped several times by compliment givers. Handling is as though one were driving on rails. Acceleration is swift though not overpowering. Actual gas mileage is 23/27 so far. Have 18" wheels. Bose system has too much bass for my taste, and I have to dial the db down to negative numbers to get balanced sound. This is my first Porsche and I love it. . I highly recommend this car for what it is....an exhilarating driving experience every time. J.D. Powers #1 rating influenced my decision to buy. I'm glad I did

I now know what Queen was singing about all those years ago. Fun does not begin to describe the driving experience. Heavy traffic has prevented me from really opening her up yet, but the couple times I've been able to accelerate hard on to the highway I could not stop smiling from the sheer exhilaration. She sounds incredible, guys look at her with lust in their eyes and, like a previous reviewer, I catch myself looking back at her after I park her at night. I feel like I'm dating a supermodel (German, of course).

My first Porsche, this speed yellow with black leather beauty is like having a Carrera or a Ferrari without the huge price tag. I really like the basic sport feel, almost like a vintage car, with not too much electronic stuff, and not so much glossy plastic trim. As a designer, this car really appeals to me from an aesthetic view. Compared to the Mercedes I was using for a daily driver, this is way more fun, and I love to make 90 degree turns going 45 mph. Now have about 18K miles. Sits in a nice large garage, like a sculpture. Driving a Porsche in Naples is about as good as it gets, even though we have one of the largest PCA memberships in the country. I highly recommend it. Good ego trip.

Fun to drive and plenty of power. I'm 6'2" and comfortable although the seat is all the way back. Still plenty of head room. Standard seats really hug you might be a little narrow for someone over 200 lbs. Tall passenger seat totally obscures the small window behind the door creating a blind spot. They can also hit and damage the headliner if not careful. Bose system has too much bass but a satisfactory adjustment can be made. The wheel size makes a huge difference in ride quality and the larger wheels will probably lead to more rattles with time. The used Caymans I drove with 17s felt sold and had little rattling. 18s were a little worse and 19s were much worse. I went with 18s for looks.

I wanted to test drive the new entry level Porsche. The Boxster S is the same price so it is a better deal. I liked the car, but it needs 50 more horses to really be worth the $55,000 price tag. The handling and shifter are the best. Compared to BMWs and the Corvette, which both cost same amount, this Cayman is way more fun to drive and it has better handling. But 245HP is way to weak for a $55,000 car. Porsche also needs to stop jacking people on the options which can easily add $10,000 - $20,00 more to the car's price. Skip the Cayman and get the Cayman S or 911. But that engine sounds sweet!

Great car! Have owned it for just over a year and love driving it both to work and on weekend fun trips. Do not plan to drive it cross country, but that was never my intent in the first place. It replaced my Z3 BMW, and while both are really nice cars the Cayman S seems like a star ship, while the Z3 is more of a classic from the 50's. I have yet to find any major issues with the Cayman and hope that it runs as good 10 years from now as it does today. The Navigation system is difficult to figure out the first few times of using it so wish they would team up with Garmin and keep thing simple but it works well once you get it set up.

I drooled over the Cayman for a month before finally buying the car. I think it is a real stunner in sheet metal, prettiest car on the road. I am starting to find the interior noise and the rough ride wearing on my nerves, especially if the pavement is rough. I came out of a 330ci that was a nice car and almost as peppy, but not as much fun to drive. The dealer suggested I change out the tires to a non performance model but that is a bit costly so I guess I'll just deal with the road noise. I can't imagine going on a long trip in the Cayman without plenty of Motrin. Starting to remind me of my ex - beautiful to look at but hard to take after awhile. Maybe I just miss my BMW.

This is a true sports car, and sounds like it. The quality of the vehicle is superb. This car is for those that love to drive, and get there quickly and safely. The brakes are the best of any vehicle I have ever driven. The manual transmission is one of the best I have used. I simply love to drive this car.

The Cayman is a superb package. While the car can be comfortably driven in the city, it is a delight on the back roads where traffic is not an issue. The high power-to-low weight ratio and the mid-engine layout make the car nimble and well-balanced with loads of torque. I have owned several coupes and this is the best one by far. It is a car that really responds to you as a driver. And of course the body styling is fantastic!

A ride in the theme park

I bought a silver 2007 Cayman with Tiptronic in September 2007. I believe it's one of the few Caymen with Tiptronics in CA. Engine: Tiptronic still delivers excellent power / acceleration without the Cayman S engine. Best of all, it's idiot proof. Inside: the cockpit design is unique. To quote my wife, it feels like getting into a 007 car. However, Tiptronic handle bar does not light up at night. Ride experence: a luxury sedan can get you from point A to point B quietly, without you ever noticing its presence. A Cayman, on the other hand, will turn each driving trip into a Disneyland theme park ride - fun, exciting, but not scary.
Loads of fun!

This is a sportscar that has to be driven to be believed and for the normal driver the 2.7 has more than enough hp and torque to keep a permanent grin on your face. As mine is a daily driver, in heavy traffic, I chose the Tiptronic and I'm not disappointed with its performance at all. In manual mode it shifts extremely quickly and it screams thru the twisty turns, easily keeping pace with my buddy's Corvette... without ever touching the brakes. The car is a real looker in meteor gray with the Boxster S wheels, chrome twin exhaust and I really like the preferred package extra touches. Be prepared to talk "Porsches" to complete strangers drooling over your car as most have never seen one.

Have 1500 miles so far on this 2007 Cayman. Steering is tight, precise, responsive and consistently provides an "on-rails" cornering experience. The acceleration is quick, but not overpowering. The engine sound is great! The looks are superb, and the gas mileage is surprisingly good. I'm averaging around 26 mpg. Have yet to take it on an extended cross country, but anticipate that the mileage will increase with more miles on the engine. I use this car almost daily and it is always a thrill to drive. The seats are form fitting on my 6 foot 1 inch frame and as a consequence are warm to my back, but there is plenty of head and leg room. Cargo room is generous for a car in this class.

This is my daily driver and haven't had a single issue with the car (I have over 30k miles). The car is absolutely beautiful and attracts a lot of attention from other drivers. The storage capacity in the car is unbelievable, 2 trunks with over 15 cubic feet of storage capacity. I haven't had a situation yet where i couldn't fit everything into my car. I average about 20 MPG which isn't bad for Washington DC traffic. It is an absolute joy to drive and it worth every penny.
The 2.7 (aka base) Cayman

Much has been written/said about the Cayman s; all justified. The Cayman 2.7 has enjoyed fewer reviews, yet it remains a totally engaging Porsche. It has the same platform, same build quality, same fun to drive, better fuel economy (mine gets 27-28 mpg mixed driving... And runs at 30+ at steady freeway speed!). So, what is the downside? surely not the 10k less Price! Yes, it has 50 less hp, concomitantly less torque and 5 speeds instead of the lovely 6 speed. But for daily driver duties, one cannot even use the 245 hp the Cayman 2.7 offers! I've taken my 2.7 on a track day (thunderhill) and find that it handles and marks well most other makes and was a blast to drive.

From smiling when I drive this thing. It moves where I want it to move and does it quickly and without lag. I love this car!

I have had many Corvettes, all of which were maintenance nightmares. I moved on to the 2004 350Z, which never cost me a dime and delivered lots of performance and pleasure. I wanted to move up to Porsche and liked the mid-engine design. I love the sound this car gives to you with each gear change. It handles better than my Z and is just a touch faster.
What a Car! Vielen Dank, Porsche!

it was time to move into modern times from my 1981 Corvette. I am more than thoroughly pleased with my Cayman! The body design is, well, simply gorgeous. For 245HP, it performs nicely even at >6,000 ft. elevation. The fit and finish are incredible. At a lanky 6' 2", it is more than accommodating. It has lots of luggage space. It will be terrific for our road-trip ventures. My black-on-black certainly turns heads (yes, a little "vanity" there...). It's just a perfect fit. It's a fantastic car for the price, period.

I have owned Benz, Z3s, Z4s, Boxsters, RX7s, Talons, and I am ashamed to say 6 Corvettes. The Cayman is one of the most wonderful cars that I have owned. With the rear spoiler up, people actually think I am driving a 911. With the quality and look of the interior, I did not have to go with the 911. The ride is smooth, the handling is superb, and the middle range power and acceleration (60-120) is out of this world! I purchased this one and will own it forever. I retire in 3 years and am looking forward to driving cross country and seeing every sight that I have missed before I pass away. Love my Cayman!
awesome Ride

The Porsche Cayman handles like a dream. Its performance is great, the lines look like a '37 Bugatti Atlantic. Porsche did a great job with this car.

Bought it 2016 with 94K miles. Sold it 2017 with 118K miles only because I lost my job. Great car for the money. Upgrade to low temp waterpump. Spent maybe 2K in maintenance but that’s not much for a Porsche.
Better than I expected

Have been interested in this car for a while. Finally had the chance to drive one and fell in love. Plenty of room with the seat all the way back, great driving position, perfect balance and the sweet sound of the engine. I don't think it gets much better than this. Plan on having this for a long time.
I'm Sure Glad I Didn't Get the BMW.

I had ordered a '07 BMW 3-Series Coupe and I thank God every day I get into this car that I purchased a Cayman instead of waiting for the BMW. This car fits like a glove and drives like a dream. I find myself feeling sorry for all those people driving anything other than a Porsche.

This car is so fun to drive. I love the automatic transmission (can't drive a stick anymore for medical reasons). I get a lot of looks in this car.
The REAL Ultimate Driving Machine

The Cayman S is simply the best sports car for the buck. No, it's not the fastest, but straight-line speed is only a part of the equation. This car handles like no other I've owned, including a multitude of Benzes, BMWs, Miatas and an RX-8. To add to its value, it is a useful sports car with decent storage and trunk space for its two passengers. And it works as a daily driver with decent gas mileage and comfort. This car is a truly wonderful machine that Porsche will probably regret that they built once 911 owners find out that buying down will give them a new high!

Bought 6 speed manual Cayman S as pleasure driver, not everyday commuter. Have had for 2 months, have about 3000 miles on it, highlight was a drive up and back on back roads including Highway 1 LA to Monterey for MotoGP a few weeks ago. Handling, shifting, road feel superb, I spent a lot of time going through the twisties and laughing out loud with pleasure. Has plenty of power on the street to get you tickets even if it does not have 911 hp. And it is not even broken in yet. Car gets a lot of looks, and I love the look of it (and I hate the Boxster.) Yes the car is noisy and a very firm ride (19 inch wheels), stereo is so so but listening to the engine is the real musical experience!

I've had my '07 Cayman S for about a month now and all I can say is WOW! Of the Porsches I have owned and driven, this is by far and away the best handling and best looking. The husky exhaust note and power @ 4500 rpms and above is incredible. The Cayman S is 100% pure sports car. With a few tweaks to the 3.4 ltr. engine, suspension and exhaust coupled with the mid engine platform, the Cayman S's performance is as good if not better than the 997 for a lot less money.

Handling without peer; superb balance in the corners; unmatched braking; Porsche quality. Car is funnest to drive of any I've had (inc. Vettes and Vipers) - pure driving experience. Commands attention. Xenon lights a must. Buy the S model, you'll thank yourself in the end.
