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.
Just Picked One Up...

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.
It just felt right

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!
I wouldn't own any other Porsche than my Cayman S

I bought my Cayman S on New Year's Eve as those 2008's 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-3's 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 missing)
