On a first glimpse the Cayman S might look like a completely new machine as comapred to the 911s and the Boxster. But if you have ever driven the Porsche Boxter you realize that both cars share the same interiors. Everything just looks almost the same which is the first let down after forking in the extra dollars for the Cayman S. Despite the interiors, the Cayman S also shares the same mid engine design (and even engine) as comapred to the Boxster S which pretty makes it a coupe version of the original Boxster or Boxster S.

When we look into engine performance, the Cayman S is on par with the Boxster S. Both cars share the same engine and engine layout making it almost impossible to make a distinction between the 2 when it comes to sheer performance. So it comes to no suprise that both cars are able to hit 0-60 mph in 5.1s. The only distinction in this category is that the Cayman S is able to top a speed of 171 mph and the Boxster S could only handle a speed of 169 mph (big difference huh?)

On the plus side though, the Cayman S is still a pleasure to drive. One of the best things to notice about driving the car is its steering feel which makes you feel in total control even if you're taking a high speed hairpin. The suspension on the other hand managed to attain a nice balance of comfort and stiffness. As a bonus, the Cayman S comes with an adaptive damper system which makes the dampers stiffen up even more and also reduces the ride height which caters to a more aggresive and faster driving  needs. As we come to the engine, the Cayman S gives the driver precise and sharp throttle response which further enchances the driving experience. This sharp throttle response can be further heightened which to activation of the car "Sports" mode which is designed to handle just this. Overall the Cayman S is still a wonderful machine to be driven

The biggest downfall of the Cayman S is the pricing of this car. Even though the pricing of the Cayman S sits in between the Boxster and the 911, the car comes with various options that can bring the price of the car. Consumer will have to pay more to enjoy such options which include, 19" rims, ceramic brakes, metallic paintjobs, sports packages, adaptive damper systems etc. All this put together will just make the bridge between the Boxster and the 911 rather short. As a personal opinion, the Porsche 911 would seem like the better buy if you're willing to dish in the extra dollars into your budget.

fast, comfy, easy to drive, looks amazing and i can still get my golf clubs in the boot

well wht to say this car a real beauty
