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.

My 08' Cayman S ownership experience

2008 Porsche Cayman S 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 6M)

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.

Rides on rails and scary fast-this from a 3.2 Carrera driver. Awesome!

If you're looking for a smaller, lighter, mid engine car that has steering which keeps you connected to the road with true feel and a precise 6speed trans this is it. After a few early BMW's,(2002,1600 roundies), a C6 and C7 Corvette I've found the car I'll keep to enjoy on sunny days along the twisty back roads. Although having another 2002 in the garage with it would be sublime!
