The Porsche Cayman came into this world as the Porsche Boxster. The Boxster made its debut in 1995 and continued until the release of the “Cayman” in 2005. The Porsche Cayman would continue through the years and form into what it is today! Would you ever own a Porsche Cayman? Let us know!

@kamronseeram3488 Год назад

Rewatching this video years later after picking up a Caymn base PDK 987.2 and I can confidently say it's an amazing car. You definitely don't need the S model first of all. I daily drive mine and it has all the storage you need (I even fit 2 carry on suitcases in it). I've had the priviledge of driving a few supercars (488 GTB, 720s, Huracan) and this is the closest feeling to a supercar you can get for the price. 1000% recommend getting on if your budget allows!

@riderup2088 Год назад

I have a 987.1 Cayman S I got about 3 months ago and can confirm after tracking it about 3 times, the S would be the way to go because of the higher oil capacity. It seems to be a problem with the Caymans and for very hard driving the more oil the better. I’m going to even get a larger oil pan with baffles to make sure I don’t spin a bearing

@billsilcott9692 3 года назад

This confirms it. I'm buying a Cayman S. I was going to cheap out, and pick up a base model, but it seems pointless, especally considering how well they hold their value. I appreciate the nod to the dual clutch automatic because that was probably my biggest concern. If I can't find a low to mid mileage manual, I'll gladly go with the auto. I love the feel of a solid manual transmission though.

@Ez-jw8xv 3 года назад

What's wrong with the base model? I've got it and I'm happy with the power, has the same handling as the S, and even more reliable (for 987.1 and 987.2). Bores don't score with the .1 base and the shift cables have a dramatically lower chance of snapping than the .1 S or .2 S

@MrLemonadefreak 3 года назад

I own a 987.2 cayman s (pdk) and I absolutely love it. You CAN get them for between $25-30,000, but trust me, if you can't afford the step up in price to get one in nicer condition (I got mine for $45,000) then you can't afford the car. Its no joke that any repairs done are 10x the price of any normal car. I had my high pressure fuel pump go on me, and it was $1100 for the pump itself, and over $5000 after labour cause they needed to pull the damn engine and transmission out to replace it. Amazing car, totally worth it, but holy shit are they pricey to maintain

@TomModsThings 3 года назад

Own a modified gen 1 Cayman for the past 5 years. Absolutely love it and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a brilliant all round sports car. Maintenence is straightforward, reliability is good if they have been used and not just garaged, and now there is a great aftermarket scene growing for them. Market currently has them sitting at a great price point too. Just be aware buying and modifying one will upset the purists that haven't quite realised the ownership demographic is changing!!

@MrLemonadefreak 2 года назад

Re-watching this video again, and i just realized that I've never actually gotten any real flak from people about it "only being a cayman". I've taken it to car meets, car shows, etc, and the only person who ever seemed to have that "well its not a real porsche" attitude was a 2nd uncle of mine that has a 996 911 carrera (ge never actually said that to my face, but he had that sort of vibe going on when talking to him before he saw the car in person). But, after he actually saw the car first hand, he realized that it arguably looks better than most 911's and DEFINITELY looks better than his 996 😂. Also, after a quick drive in it, he realized it was also faster since mine has a very *slight* tune and some mods on it and his 996 was the crappy automatic. But in terms of other people, never been looked down on for it. A lot of people who know about the car even prefer it.

And to take it a step further if you opt to drop about another 10k on a GT4 front bumper, carbon diffuser, carbon ducktail, and carbon air ducts people look at the car like it’s a 150k vehicle. Next will be an R8 but it’s a great introduction to the car world.

First I also thought that the cayman was the poor man's Porsche. My dad has a cayman gts 981 and I changed my mind completely. The sound of that car is so much better than a 991, 991.2 or 992. Secretly I also like the looks more because of the mid engine layout. More people turn their head's when they see it. So when you're driving it makes it a bit more special:) the only Porsche 911 I would take over a cayman 981 is a 991 or 991.2 gt3 because of that amazing sound and redline.

5:42 Wrong! *The CAYMAN ACTUALLY WEIGHED MORE THAN THE BOXSTER.* *987 Boxster: 1290 KG* *987 Cayman: 1340 KG* -Boxster was lighter than the Cayman when they debuted; the weight of a Cayman metal roof made it heaver. Unlike other convertible versions of cars that need to have chassis reinforcements added -which add weight, the 987 chassis was designed outright as a roadster platform. *-And no, the Cayman wasn't necessarily a step between a Boxster and a 911. It simply was the hardtop version of a Boxster and made only 10hp more but also weighed more, so performance figures in real world were identical.*
