This is a topic that has been discussed here before. I suggest you try out our search feature to see what you can find on this subject as well as anything you want to know regarding the Cayman.

To get you started, try looking at these:

Question for those that drive the Cayman daily.

How many daily drive their Cayman?

Welcome to the Club! You've come to the right place for all things Cayman.

Hi Russ...

I haven't seen your car since either the Mercedes/Porsche Show at Neiman Marcus (March '06) or at the Porsche event at Hawaii Raceway Park. Hope to see your car around...

I have a set of 17" rims with snow mounted....whatdayathink, daily driver? Gets some glances when I pull into a ski area parking lot...hard part is finding it later among all the monstrosities.

About every week/10 days I get stuck driving the pickup to do "stuff", like tow the race car around or haul tires/rims, etc., and I realize how lucky/spoiled/honored I am to not have to do that everyday! And to think some folks who can well afford not to have to drive a pick up everyday, choose to do so...

daily driver .... average is creeping up to ~1000 miles/month .... being in Florida, very comfortable driving it in torrential rain without any issues on a regular basis .....

6000 miles later, my CS seems to be driving a whole lot smoother, quicker .....

Use it daily; it's that or my wife's Honda. No motorcycles in the household at the moment (no race track).
