Porsche Cayman S - Pictures

The Cayman S is sublime on all roads and flatters every driver. More involving and rewarding than any rival, it makes the M3 seem flat-footed. Only excessive road noise harms the Porsche’s cruising ability.

It's the tactility and precision of the Cayman’s controls that set it apart. The pedals, steering, gearlever – everything you touch works perfectly. The design is rather plain, but there’s no faulting the overlapping

Although the Porsche has a near-perfect driving position and excellent visibility, the seat itself is narrow across the shoulders. This means you are forced to take a hunched posture, so backache can be an issue.

Storage space, split front and rear, is the least generous here.
