Smooth, Refined, Classy

2010 Porsche Cayman 2dr Coupe (2.9L 6cyl 6M)

The 2.9 L Cayman has a smooth revving engine mated to a smooth shifting 6-speed manual gearbox. This car is all about refinement and being able to drive fast on twisty roads. Plenty of cars are faster in a straight-line, but this is about sufficient power for California's public roads. The vehicle is relatively light (2900lbs.+), so it is still fairly quick The car drives very well, even with 19" sport wheels and Pirelli P-Zero tires. The base model lacks a decent sounding stereo, but that would add weight.

Can I see my engine please

I just had the car for 3 days and put 200 plus miles on it. It's a fun car to drive, the handling is superb. Mine comes with sport chrono and comfort package, paddle shift steering, sound system upgrade, natural leather(red), 19" wheel, and most of other options (bi xenon, etc). I regret my choice of an optional 19" wheel, it makes the car too stiff and feels heavier then the test drive car. Maybe it would be better combined with optional PASM which I didn't take.

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!

My 08' Cayman S ownership experience

2008 Porsche Cayman S 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 6M)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful

I bought this vehicle on Jan. 2008. I put in about 1600 miles so far. Having owned Bimmer, Mercedes, Lexus & Infiniti in the past, this car by far offers the most fun and exhilaration to drive. The engine puts out unmistakable note that sounds almost like a symphony orchestra. The car averages 19.7 mpg and I couldn't be more happy given it acceleration & performance. Some complaints I have about this car are body integrity, stereo and Tiptronic buttons. Its rear-end produces rattle noises. I have spent 3 trips to the dealer including a replacement of tail-light assembly under factory service bulletin and they still can fix it. The Tiptronic buttons should really be paddle-shifters - cont -

I have owned my Cayman S for two short weeks. I have been impressed with the overall handling and performance. I traded in a Mercedes Benz SL 500. I have no regrets. The styling, performance, and ease of handling has more the exceeded my expectations.
