We stopped by a Porsche dealership to test drive the 911 S. My wife saw the Cayman S, and she wanted to test drive it as well. We ended up with the mid-engine Cayman S. Best decision I've made.

Fantastic engine, brakes, chassis, steering, interior... this really is the finest true spots car value available. Had an Audi TTS and while it was a very capable and well-built sports car, it just didn't offer the the perfect balance and driving dynamics of the Cayman. And the beautiful curves of the exterior are very reminiscent of the classic 911s of the 80s and 90s. The Cayman has become the ultimate Porsche (and an especially exceptional value with current incentives!).

Cayman S 19 inch wheels

Already own 1987 Porsche 930, have owned for 13 years. Drove new vette, new 911, sl 65, fell in love with cayman s, handles likes it's on rails, top end is very good for normally aspirated six. Pulls hard in every gear. Lots of low end grunt. Great looks. If you like 911s, this car will out handle any 911. Sounds awesome from in the car. Feels like it's carved out of a solid piece of granite. Very rugged little car.
Fun Car, But Not a Daily Driver

2009 Porsche Cayman 2dr Coupe (2.9L 6cyl 6M)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
The 2.9 L Cayman has plenty of power for the public roads with good low-end torque. Cabin space is limited while the rear window provides limited visibility. The exterior design grows on you and it is refreshing since the 911 has not changed much in its history. I had an issue with a missing key which took over 1 hour for the dealer to program. The passenger window does not close properly with automatic feature. I dislike Porsche dealers and salespeople - they think it's so special. It's expensive. The interior materials are top quality now with lots of leather, alcantara, and carpeting. Fit is solid with only a minor rattle from passenger side. Ride is very hard, especially with 19"
Fun, Fun, Fun

Driving a Cayman is like driving a VERY fast go cart. The mid engine design makes the twisties incredibly fun. Porsche doesn't let you down even with the "smaller" of their line. Get one of your own...you can't have mine!

Wow--the best

Great car--connected to the road, fast and plenty of low-end torque with the new PDK auto transmission, even in the my 2.9 model. Impeccable build quality, just don't overdue the options, or else it will get very expensive! (for example, standard manual seats are GREAT, no need for sport seats or even electric). Stunningly beautiful, espec in light colors (white, silver, etc.). The best handling car I ever had (including BMW's and Audi's), it probably has changed my life some in that I LOVE (instead of dreading) my 45 minute commute to work back and forth every day. (Chose this over the 335i in the end, a great car too but so refined that some of the pure joy was engineered out of it)
95% 911... 70% THE COST

Plain and simple this is one awesome car. Great acceleration, lightweight, great handling and heart stopping top speed. The Cayman S is like a rollercoaster ride without leaving the ground. Will you get more with the 911S? Yes. Is it worth the extra 25-30K. I dont think so.
goodbye bmw

I recently purchased a cayman S 09 and sold my bmw 3series. This Cayman is simply awesome. Its acceleration and handling is unlike any car I have ever driven. Additionally, the looks are superb. I just never get tired of looking at the car.

If you hate the Prius, this is the metaphysical opposite. Fun versus Big Nurse. After seven years, I still love my Cayman S. The tuning done at Sharkwerks, i.e., Tubi exhaust, chipped onboard computer, carbon fiber interior components, and light-weight and oversized HRE alloy wheels, helps.

Porsche has built a winner here. The handling is outstanding, the braking is more than adequate, the acceleration is plenty fast and the looks, well let's just say this is one drop dead sexy looking car. The overall package is excellent and the "fun factor" us through the roof.

good looks and a whole lot of unreliability

This is a fun car to drive (when it runs properly) and is a head turner in the looks department. It is also somewhat functional with cupholders and front and rear storage. Unfortunately I have now owned 2 porsches and both are the most unreliable vehicles I have ever owned. This one literally is in the garage every $5K miles. Failed oil separator (2x), maf issues (2x), power steering leak, and the list goes on. I don't understand how this car has good reviews.

2009 Cayman, No Substitute For Elite Sports Car

If your looking for the ultimate sports car, look no further than a Porsche Cayman. From style, performance & relying on a driving experience like no other, all signs point to a Cayman. First, it's a two-seater with enough room for storage & weekend getaways. Due to the unique hatchback design, I can pack my golf clubs, suitcases & accessories with more room available in the forward trunk compartment. German design shares this idea with it's cousin, the VW. Comfort, handling and performance will get you to where you need to go in record time, if you so choose. Shifting & speed gets you around slow traffic & into the clear in a breeze. Gas mileage is excellent & style points off the charts. The Base model has enough HP @275 to give you the driving experience you can enjoy. The S model, for 30 more HP & 5K to 9K more cash, boasts you to dangerous speed levels, if your not experienced. Go test drive a used Cayman & you'll see for yourself why Porsche has been the premier sports car maker for decades!
