Porsche Cayman S Review Summary
"...go immediately to the Porsche 550 Coupe developed for racing in the mid-1950s. Note the similarity of the rising front fenders. See how the rear fenders bulge so high that the sloping rear deck hatch disappears behind them (uncommon for Porsche)."
"The 6-speed manual (a 5-speed Tiptronic is available) is also from the Boxster, yet its two lower gears are eaten up more quickly, getting you up to speed (0-60 in 5.1 seconds) about a half-second more rapidly than would a Boxster S."
"Porsche designed the Cayman S to take a more hard-core approach to performance. The Cayman's engine is more powerful, its suspension tuning is stiffer and it offers more sport-oriented options than the Boxster."
"...precise steering feel, firm and reassuring brake pedal, swoopy bodywork, useful cargo capacity, sound-of-music flat-six."
"All in all, the Cayman S is a wonderful sports car. Fast, nicely balanced and a pleasure to drive."
What reviewers liked least about the Porsche Cayman S:
"Unlike the 911, the Cayman S doesn't even hint at a rear seat - it's strictly a two-passenger car."
"Be aware, though, that the Cayman S's price can ratchet upward quickly - tick off enough option boxes on the order form, and it can approach $100,000."
"In profile, the Cayman S is less flattering because of the unusually high roofline that almost turns the greenhouse into a bubble in the middle of the car."

Best one-liners about the Porsche Cayman S:
"More than just a Boxster S with a lid, the Cayman S embodies the soul and heart of history's best Porsches."
"A pricey track star that proves willing to please everyday and is worth the extra cash."
"Will it become the new star of the family?"
