Professional Reviews

• “More than just a Boxster S with a lid, the Cayman S embodies the soul and heart of history's best Porsches.” — Edmunds.com
• “...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).” — Cars.com
• “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.” — Cars.com
• “Unlike the 911, the Cayman S doesn't even hint at a rear seat -- it's strictly a two-passenger car.” — Cars.com
• “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.” — Edmunds.com
• “...a base price of $59,695?that?s $10,400 less than the cheapest 911 but $5800 more than a Boxster S.” — Car and Driver
• “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.” — Cars.com
• “...visibility over the shoulder is much better because it's not obstructed by the wrap of top fabric around the rear glass.” — Cars.com
