That product seems to have ground to a halt, dealers can't take orders for 2009 yet, and it sounds like cars may not come rolling into the States until next March...

Means I'll be waiting almost a YEAR for my own personal Cayman S.

Back to the original topic. What is the worst thing about the Cayman? Well, in my opinion it's the fact that it threatens so many people in so many ways that some will go out of their way to join a fan club and bash the car to those who actually appreciate it.

Example given, dafasdadfsasdasd and Estate Wax

If you are looking for maximum bang, get yourself a Z06. Then you can sit at home comfortably knowing that you are the king of the road and my SRT-4s or Evos will be blowing you away. Your ego seems to need that kind of validation, mine doesn't.


Wow. You're a smart guy. I never noticed this. This must be why Porsche is having such a hard time selling Caymans. Oh, wait, they continue to crush their sales forecsasts with the Cayman. Never mind.


My Cayman cost more than a Carrera after I optioned it out.


How would you know this and what is your source? If you spent any time at all reading posts here you would know that the $600 covers the entire first service, a service that is required every 20,000 miles. That's $3,000 of service required over 100,000 miles. Not bad at all. My VW required a $1,500 belt change at 80,000 and I spent way more than $1,500 on other services before that.

14,000 mile tires? I just replaced one of mine because of a puncture. It had 8,000 miles on it and in those 8,000 miles I used 2mm out of 8mm of tread. That means that those tires would have lasted me 32,000 miles before they were bald. WTF are you talking about troll?

Lets see. The Cayman has been out since 2006 and they all came with a 4 year warranty, so the first Cayman sold will be out of warranty in 2010. So, how do you know this?

And why would one have to consider this? I don't plan on selling my car, so what does depreciation matter? I buy cars to drive them, not to sell them.

Yup. You're right troll.

I would disagree in regard to the Cayman. The Cayman's mid engine platform has a lot in common with Porsche racing platforms. I don't have time to teach you the history of Porsche. Move along.

You have to be one of the stupidist people I've come accross in a long time. Why would you suggest something like that?

Why?

Please tell me what standard options the 911 has that make it soooooo much better.

I don't want a sunroof. They do nothing but make wind noise and weaken the chassis.

This is a Cayman attribute why?

Yeah, OK, keep on telling yourself that one Sparky.

That's caused by the fact that you're an *sshole, not because you drive a Cayman.

That's not my experience.

OK, I might agree with this one. I wish the car had a spare.

Wrong again, but you must be used to that. My Cayman was surprisingly cheap to insure. I still can't believe how low my insurance rates are. I asked my insurance agent why this is the case. He told me that the Cayman and Cayman S are rated as a very low risk car. The risk of the car is assertained by looking at many factors including it's design and the target drivers. By design, the Cayman has a lot of safety features including 6 airbags, Stability Control, ABS, and so on. This makes the car very safe.

And everyone knows that your left knee is so much more painful than your right.

What is so hard to work on? And what has Porsche done to make it hard to work on?

What kind of fool would try to run through high G turns with only a gallon of fuel left anyway? I mean any real enthusiast knows that this will result in fuel starvation that could lean the mixture and cause significant engine damage.

You come here to troll, get banned, then sign in with a new name, pick up your fight and then call us fools. Haa haaaaaa...... You're a funny guy..... That's a good one......

here we see the troll introduced to a new habitat, oh, we see that he's made contact with a native specie, its a "gator bite" i believe. and....we see now that the troll has clearly shown his hostile intensions towards this encouter.

... attacking in all directions, it'll be hard pressed for the native to hold his ground... But oh no, the "gator bite" managed to repel every single one of those attacks ... sterlin effort there,

I would just like to remind our viewers that trolls are completely harmless creatures, but thrive on confrontation, best just to starve them out if you have an infestation ...

This is also the list of things required for me to upgrade from my '07 CS.

1) Std. Xenons/LED headlights

2) Better standard stereo with satellite radio, AUX input (through the armrest console like on a new Mustang, would be great, don't need iPod specific connection...general AUX is better), Bluetooth, and the non-requirement of NAV to keep price down (though, if it has to be there, I could live with it).

3) Turn the darn key fob into a proximity key (a la Nissan Altima) and simply replace the key slot on the left of the steering wheel with a push button. In the key fob, have the backup/emergency key slide in and out. Also, make it not-as-easy to push the buttons on the key fob while it's in my pocket

4) Power increase (already know that's coming, though). But please give it the power of the outgoing 911 (325 hp). This is only 10 more than what's projected (315).

5) PDK 7spd a la recent 911 news (I'm a 6-spd driver right now, but after years of driving manuals, It's time for me to experience a real semi-auto tranny). My assumption is that this will also be coming with the minor facelift and power upgrade that's "basically confirmed" for MY 2010.

6) Standard multi-functional steering wheel along with #2 being standard. Don't make the aluminum/carbon-fiber/wood/whatever-look an additional option...make it standard with the option for free removal (Along with matching gear lever, shifter, etc).

7) Cup holders are OK. Placement of cup holders and device design is neat/awesome, but make the holders a bit more sturdy/stable.

8) Place for sunglasses (plastic flip down compartment a la almost every other car?). Not a dire need, but would be appreciated.

9) A deeper rear center console (doesn't need a larger footprint, just increase depth).

10) Don't change anything else! This car is near perfect in my eyes, but lacks some things I could get on a $22K 2-door Nissan Altima Coupe.

Thanks Porsche! Send my "Thank-You Check" to the address on my monthly billing statement. Or, if it's easier, change my loan status to "PAID IN FULL"

You know, I'm with you on this. The Xenons are so good that they should just be standard, for safety sake.

Nooooooooooooo...... Oh please don't...... I can't stand those proximity keys. I would however like to see our key made thinner and less prone to accidental activations.

Wonder if people driving the Nissan Altima Coupe say,,,, "Damn you know what this car needs? .... the engine out a Porsche Cayman"

We should get the same system as the Bentley Continental. Key fob open then start button-- Cars now adays keys should be a thing of the past, Finger print technology or eye recognition is the way forward, Maybe the car can hold up too 10 types, when you sell it has to be dealer activated!!!??

1. Agree Xenon should be standard on $60K car.
2. Lack of LSD, even as an option.
3. Bluetooth, satellite radio, and iPod connectivity on a $60K car.
4. Thin rimmed sport steering wheel. The wheel in my $20K Subaru wagon is thicker.
5. Power steering and oil ingestion issues while driving car hard.
6. Agree Key could be better designed like Audi's.
7. Would like more available options in stock or close to stock tire sizes or have Porsche choose a more commonly used rear tire size.
8. Wish the new sport seats were available when I ordered my car and were available with seat heaters. The heaters help a lot in the Great White North.

That's all I can think of fornow, but none of them kept me from buying the car and helping keep Porsche the most profitable car company in the world. Porsche seems like they are addressing a lot of these on the new 997, so hopefully that carries over to the Cayman.
