What a joy to drive this car. The Cayman S is a blast. Accelerates so effortlessly, you are well over the speed limit and still have 2 more gears to go. Nothing but smiles so far.

Reviewed a 2007 Porsche S on Apr 4, 2015
The Cayman is nice looking from many angles, but not all. I never fails to collect compliments, if you are into that sort of thing. I guess that's got more to do with the Porsche brand, which I find subtracts from the car somewhat. I find the the seats really comfortable and supportive, however, I am fairly slim and I think broader frames would find the seats snug. I love how low you can sit in the car. Visibility is surprisingly good, even with the seat positioned low. Fuel economy is good; about 21 mpg, even with frequent "Italian tune-ups". Maintenance and repair costs are about what you might expect; not cheap. But the car is entirely worth it. The engine is a masterpiece. It sounds great all of the time. It has really effective and linear torque delivery. The throttle response is incredible. And it loves to rev. The steering is brilliant. Hydraulic, so it communicates as it should. The car is incredibly balanced. It will understeer, if you accelarate hard into a turn. However, if you stab it into a turn, it is neutral and you can control the the yaw with the throttle. It flatters the driver. The ride is good, considering that the car is nearly a track weapon. I really have no complaints about the car. It's brilliant!

This is an amazing car, for the right person. Dont mistake this with a comfortable daily driver, its not. Its a purpose built car intended for the track. Its very low and will scrape on most speed bumps and driveways if you arent careful. And to drive it quickly, you will need to really rev out the engine to redline. Those who know what this car is really and truly appreciate it. But its not for everyone. Interior on the cayman is a bit cramped for most, and if you are not slim, dont even think about getting the carbon bucket seats. Great value however, this is a car you can buy and sell 3 years later for a very minimal loss. Watch out for the 3rd gear pop-out issue, but other than that this car is very reliable. I was torn on this car, but eventually decided on a 2018 Carrera T due to the better driving dynamics for daily driving. Great car however and I would have loved the GT4 just as much.

Why it stands out
The 2016 Porsche Cayman stands out as a compact sports coupe that puts driving feel ahead of everything else. It benefits from the Cayman formula’s balanced layout and solid roof, which give it impressive cornering ability, and it remains one of the best sports coupes to drive. The cabin borrows heavily from the Porsche 911, with a snug driving position, round gauges, and a solid interior finished in premium materials. That driver-focused character helps justify the car’s price, especially for buyers who want a Porsche experience in a smaller, more accessible package.
For 2016, the Cayman still offered the second-generation lineup’s six-cylinder engines, with the base model rated at 275 horsepower and 213 lb-ft of torque, the Cayman S at 325 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, and the GTS at 340 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. Standard equipment included a seven-inch infotainment touchscreen, Bluetooth, and a power spoiler, while options such as PASM adaptive suspension dampers, ceramic composite brakes, a rear differential, and dual-zone automatic climate control let buyers tailor the car toward comfort or sharper performance. The Cayman also had a reputation for holding its value well, which adds to its appeal on the used market.
Its limitations are the ones you would expect from a small two-seat sports car. Cargo space is sparse, and the cabin is more focused than roomy. Some buyers may also find the upper trims and options expensive, but that is part of the tradeoff for a car that delivers balanced handling, strong performance, and the kind of everyday polish that helped make the Cayman distinctive.
