8 years of bliss....possibly to end
Ed N., Bethesda, MD, 05/05/2016
2016 Porsche Cayman S 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 6M)
In 2 weeks, my 2014 Cayman S will turn 8 years old since I took delivery. It has been the best, most enjoyable and trouble free car I've owned in 40+ years. And that includes some pretty good comps, like a 1984 Toyota Supra, 2002 Honda S2000, 2005 Porsche 911S Cab, along with a myriad of sedans and SUV's.
But it may soon be coming to an end. For the right reason. I will be taking … delivery of a build to order 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0 in late July. Although I am sure I will enjoy the extra 70 horsepower and a few more goodies, I don't think it could be any better of a car when it comes to reliability.
I'm going to be doing some soul searching over the next couple of months to figure out if I should keep both the 2014 and the 2021.
Excellent on the race course

2016 Porsche Cayman S 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 6M)
Took my 2016 Cayman S pdk to the race track for a high performance driving course and then last week for lapping. The other reviewers are right in the mark- at 45k miles the car is a great daily driver and a true sports car.
The brakes stop quickly and predictably, and the car is stable at 128mph; and it takes the S turns remarkably well.
My only regrets- not finding one with the sports … exhaust, nav and the Chrono package. But the price was right and the car looks brand new- given the build quality.
Not a “Commoners” Sports Car

2016 Porsche Cayman S 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 6M)
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 great great
