Used 2016 Porsche Cayman Consumer Reviews
Hell of Ride. Worth the bucks Cayman S is best
Electronics can be challenging but dealer is helpful. Get the Cayman S, less than 325 hp might disappoint. After 2 years love the car but disappointed by $500 to $1000 annoying repairs. Hood struts, gear shift, windshield washer, headliner detached. Expected better engineered and built as several other sports cars I have had. More problems than Corvette, Jaguar, Toyota MR2, ZX etc.

Adult Go-Cart
My 2016 Cayman GTS is an absolute joy to drive. While not the fastest car on the road, the handling and road feel are exceptional. Truly you are one with the car.

What a car!
I’ve had my 2016 Cayman Base for 2 years now - the enjoyment of the driving experience never gets old and not to mention it is one of the best looking cars on the road.

Not a “Commoners” Sports Car
I own a 2016 Cayman (981) S. It’s my daily commuter. For a serious sports car it rides moderately smooth but not as smooth and quiet as my Audi TT. But I didn’t buy it to be smooth and quiet. I bought it for performance and style. It fit the bill perfectly in both categories. While a Cayman S doesn’t have the straightline acceleration of a Chevy Corvette, the mid engine Cay will run circles around the “commoners” sport car. Recently a friend stated “My ZL1 Camaro will dust your Cayman in 1/4 mile”. To which I responded “Yes, but you will still be driving a Chevy and I will be driving a Porsche!” 🤣

Great for what it is
Great handling, very responsive engine, more room than the 911, very close quarters inside but I knew that going in. Some of the climate controls don't work as I'd like; always turning on when the car is started even if it was off when the car was stopped, no way to just use the fan without it trying to match the temperature settings. Nav is less intuitive to use than a Garmin. I'd prefer less technology overall, less complexity. A design issue is that they use gravel on the roads here when there's ice and the brakes are susceptible to gravel getting stuck in them causing a scraping sound and possibly need an expensive fix by the dealer, so I find myself limiting my winter driving. But it's really fun to drive.
