Used 2016 Porsche Cayman Consumer Reviews
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.

981 CAYMAN SEAT SQUEAKS
I believe every 981 drivers have squeaking issue. I replace the seat support but the noise came back after 4 month so basically this seat only can hold up for 4 month. I guess will have to order the seat support parts again and I know this new seat support parts will only last for another 4 month but what the heck. I will just keep order the parts until I sell this junk....(UPDATE) and 2017 I sold this junk

A sad buy
Porsche should cancel the Cayman. The 911 is the only true Porsche coupe.

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 .
