Porsche cayman road tests and consumer car reviews

Porsche Cayman 2.9 Manual Gen 2 2009

This is the first Porsche I have owned, a purchase I made with my heart rather than my head. For many years I have driven family cars, my present vehicle came after much soul searching and reviews. I finally made my way to Porsche for a test drive. I wanted it to be horrid, to get the desire to own a Porsche out of my system. On the contrary I was hooked. I spent the next two days thinking long and hard, do I get a badged up BMW or something of that ilk. On the Monday I got the inevitable call back from the dealership and the negotiations began. 3 hours later I had struck a deal, £6000 of extras including Supagard and GAP insurance were on the car and I still only paid the list price. I took delivery 3 weeks later as the car was in the UK and have not looked back since. Wife hates it, daughters love it, wonderful to drive long distance, superb on the twisty stuff. If this is a ’poor mans Porsche’ then I am happy to carry that label. After 3 months the excitement of ownership has not worn off, on the contrary I just love it. My 911 owning friends have been taken aback by its beauty and driving experience so much so they are considering ’downgrading’. It is well screwed together, looks the part, sounds awesome and is a pleasure to drive, no regrets, go on buy one, you know you want to!
