    • @benterry2681
      @benterry2681 5 років тому

      The platform can’t compare to a 911 without pretty much an entire redesign, the back end would need widening to have tyres near the width of a 911 and mid engines means awd is impossible, I see this being said a lot but it’s simply a lesser platform, nothing wrong with that it’s still a fantastic car but there’s no kidding it’s better than a 911, at least not without some serious modification, pretty much redesign the back end from scratch like RUF did.

  • @verygood7155

    Just buy a low mileage well optioned pre-owned one with a Porsche certified extended warranty and let the prior owner absorb the significant depreciation.

  • @DreamCarGarage1
    @DreamCarGarage1 10 років тому +57

    Easily Porsche's best looking car! In fact one of the best looking sports cars on the market full stop! Little details like the way the rear integrated spoiler blends into the rear reversing lights, along with its more muscular shoulders. Yes this is where my money would go. I wonder how much Porsche would give me in a part ex for my 1991 Nisan Micra?

    If I had Porsche 911 money, I'd rather buy a Cayman and a 4-5 seater car. And it'd still be about the same price as a 911.

    • @bighands69
      @bighands69 9 років тому +7

      That is what they are trying to do. They know there are a lot of people out their with families that could not justify the money for say a 911 on its own but they could justify a Cayman and still be able to buy a family car.
      I currently drive an RS5 and I am serious considering a Cayman as I can justify it to my wife and family and replace our other family car.

    I have those Cayman S wheels on my base 981 and yes they are noisy with the Pzero N spec tyres. I recently changed to Michelin PSS and it is so much better even with wider tyres than stock and 18 " rim size the tyre noise is way better and also handles better than with the 19" ones.

  • @mieguistumas
    @mieguistumas 10 років тому +18

    I just constantly have to think, why would you buy 458, mclaren or R8, when this have good enough performance, but is more useable and have manual gearbox, which is the only gearbox cars should have. I guess, some people just want more of everything and supercars represent different image.

    • @J0lker
      @J0lker 10 років тому +1

      I would have problems in choosing between458 or R8 or MP4. But finally I think I would go for MP4. Then 458 (but only speciale) and then R8 V10.

    • @mieguistumas
      @mieguistumas 10 років тому

      I'd probably go with normal 458, if I have to choose. But if R8 has simple manual, I'd take it with a heartbeat.

    • @J0lker
      @J0lker 10 років тому +1

      What about MP4?! You don't even consider it? :D Come on! It's awesome at every point! Maybe the sound is it's weakness... but everything else!

    • @mieguistumas
      @mieguistumas 10 років тому

      I would. I just said, that I would preffer 458 over it. But it would be in second place. But, if R8, even if I left it last, had manual, I would just go for it :D

  • @andrea_927
    @andrea_927 10 років тому +11

    The Cayman's a very good car but the option list is its main problem: I can't spend 60,000€ for a car and have to pay extra for the navigation system, which doesn't even include bluetooth, or the floor mats, parking sensors or leather interior. Yes, it's a good sports car but it's overpriced. What about the 3,000€ for the sport exhaust system?!? At this price, I'd much rather have an Alfa 4C, and the money I'd spend for the options on the Cayman will be used for a Fiat 500 as a daily driver, enjoying the Alfa in the weekends. Obviously that's my point of view, but anytime I configure a Cayman I start at 65,000€ and end up at nearly 100,000.

    • @swunt10
      @swunt10 10 років тому +1

      Pienimusta the cayman costs 52.500 dollars in the US, 39.700 pounds in the UK and 51.500 euro in germany.

    • @swunt10
      @swunt10 10 років тому +1

      the cayman starts at 53k dollars, 40k pounds or 52k euros.
      why would you want leather as standard? who put that in you mind? leather is to hot in the summer and to cold in the winter. alcantara is much better for a sports car and alcantara is standard.
      park assist costs 500 euro. hardly to overpriced is it? but this car is so small everyone who didn't win his drivers license in the lottery should be able to park it.
      after all it's a drivers car!
      if you demand leather, parking assist and full electronic integration you should probably look for executive cars.
      this is a sports car!!
      people who buy true sports cars don't want all this nonsense. but if you like it the options are surprisingly cheap. 500 euros for the park assist, 650 euros for bluetooth, floor mats 100 euro and sport exhaust for 500 euro. the sport exhaust system for 3k is for people who don't care about money. the normal exhaust is perfect as it is. even if you live inside the nurburgring it won't break down. so the 500 euro exhaust is fine for you. 1750 euro in total for your options. that's nothing. cheap as fuck. this car is a bargain.

    • @andrea_927
      @andrea_927 10 років тому

      swunt10 Mmh, actually not that cheap, or that much of a bargain. I mean, I really like to configure cars online, even just for fun, and I built the Cayman S a lot of times, ending always at almost 100k. Because actually this isn't a proper driver's car, it's just a generic high-performance sports car. When I think of analogic driver's cars, I think of Lotus, the new Alfa 4C, or the previous Cayman R. In those cars, necessarily matched with another one as a daily driver, I'm pretty good with leaving out heated electrically operated seats, the auto box, adaptive headlamps, parking radar and so on, because their main focus is mere driving pleasure. I get your point, but I see the Cayman as an everyday driver much more than other sports cars, so I would include executive options such as those I mentioned, and be surprised that for the 65k of the S I don't even get a navigator as standard, or the mats. I see what you mean: you could easily live without many of those options in a sports car, but then I wouldn't buy the Porsche which, sporty as it gets, feels much more executive to me than a genuine naked sports car like, here it goes again, a Lotus. It's just a matter of preferences, but to me the Cayman and the 4C can be compared just concerning performance. Else, they're two completely different cars, and I'd equip the Cayman just like an executive sedan. I know I'm wrong, but I can do nothing to it, I just would! :D

      @LeeringGamer 10 років тому

      ***** What I would only change would probably be the Color, make seats electronic, and get better tires. Maybe 4 four seats, but that'd be it. I'd estimate 59k? Maybe 60K. At least my parents will help me pay for it, although not too much of the cost.

    Always wanted a Porsche since I was a kid, the 911 still remains out of my league as a cash buy unfortunately but this Cayman is just about do able.

    My friend says Porsche's are usually cars for women, considering their small size, when I told him this is the one I wanted, he changed his mind. This is one of the best Porsche's I've seen!

      Funny that people say the same about the VW Beetle (the new one) the car Porsche design is based on, that it's a car for girls

      911 is no longer related to the Beetle which is know a Golf.

    The 2.9 base model is the best Porsche today. It has no DFi, which every new Cayman, Boxster and 911 has. Play it safe get a 2.9.

      The new Cayman does look almost completely different from the old Cayman and from all other old Porsches, doesn't it?
