Cayman 981
Never in my life have I drove a vehicle that is this much fun. The cayman feels like it was built around me. As if the design team took my measurements and Tailored the car for me. Everything feels of quality. There nothing cheap inside a Porsche. You won’t be let down by any of its craftsmanship. I chose the 981 S over a base 718 simply for the sound. To me each car is identical in every way. Of course there’s some changes on the 718 but good luck picking them out. I drove both and the 981 was a clear choice for me. I wanted a true Bat Mobile and I got it in the 981 S. If I could offer advice to a future cayman owner. I would suggest two options that I got on the car I bought. These options are not what I wouldn’t have ordered on a new car. Get the 14 way seats it’s everything important to driving this car. The 14 way seats are what makes the car fit so Perfect. Next get the high end stereo. It sounds like your driving a high end home theater. You need music in a sports car. Like I said I only got these by luck. The car I bought had them. I’m so thankful it did. You won’t go wrong with the cayman I guarantee it.
2010 Cayman S vs. 2014 Cayman S
I had a 2010 Cayman S, great vehicle, Edmunds is spot on about the steering, it was better in the old model. But the new 2014 model is much more comfortable and forgiving on last distance runs. The NAV / Bose Sound System / Interior much better than previous model. Handling is exceptional and exterior looks greatly improved. My only issue is that I bought a dealer demo with 750 miles. It was delivered to me W/O inspection. Had problems with power seat & unbalanced tires. One of the tires I found a nail in it and cost me $446 to get a new one. Avoid The Collection in Miami.

Great and very bad
The 2014 Cayman base model is a tale of two cities. The great: one of the best looking cars on the road, bar none. It’s beautiful. The handling of this car is superb. You feel like a million bucks driving it. The bad: I got caught in a bad blizzard and it felt like a death trap in the highway in 2-4 inches of snow. I was fishtailing all over the Highway, and I couldn’t go up even a slight hill on slippery roads. The tires just spun with or without traction control. I got stuck several times in the middle of a state highway and needed police to get me unstuck. I barely slid into the parking lot of a hotel to stay the night because I couldn’t make it home. Also, the base model had zero amenities inside. Nothing! Even the radio was a total joke. It was like driving an old Russian car. Very bare bones. And the suspension was pretty hard, if you drive on semi rough pavement for more than a few minutes, it would be pretty taxing and unpleasant. So, after two days, I returned the car. No Porsche Cayman for me! I bought a BMW 440i that is newer, has fewer miles, and cost less and I’m very happy.

Never let it go
It’s enjoyable to follow all the new developments in the sports car segment of today’s automotive industry , but , I can not bring myself to let go of my 2014 Base 981 with it’s 6 speed manual transmission. Ten years of problem free ownership. Ten years of dependable fun . After 65k miles it’s not going anywhere . Best of luck with your current and future Porsches .
