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.
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.

Smooth, Refined, Classy

2010 Porsche Cayman 2dr Coupe (2.9L 6cyl 6M)
4 of 13 people found this review helpful
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

2011 Porsche Cayman 2dr Coupe (2.9L 6cyl 6M)

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.
Worth every penny

This is a super car, fun to drive, surprisingly comfortable, quick and responsive. On the downside it is expensive to repair, but with extended warranty there are less worries.
