Nice review. I agree: I’m coming up on four years of ownership of my 987 2.7 Cayman; I love it. As fast as you could want on public roads and feels great to drive. I’m not selling mine, ever.

Thank you! I Agree, I sold mine after four years, want to try other cars but I could definitely see myself buy a cayman in the future again. Much car for that price!

I have enjoyed some entertaining cars, but this is the best car I can imagine: they will have to tear it from my cold, dead hands. I bought it to mark surviving a heart attack.

I have the 2008 model. Fantastic in the corners,. You're right it's not the fastest car, but at 5500 to 6000 rpm's in 2nd and 3rd, the car is a jack rabbit. Love it!

Haha Yes! The sound when you are coming over 4000rpm is beautiful! Great car 😃

Many years ago I drove Porsches (924, 928, 928S and 944's) as daily drivers. I had only 1 or 2 cars at that time and so those Porsches really got to get used. My 987 Cayman S now is one out of ten(!) cars and the lesson I've learned the hard way is that you definitely want to use your Porsche as a daily driver. Nothing is more detrimental to a Porsche than just using it occasionally! I also got a 2008 Cayenne Turbo and as long as I drive it at least every other day it doesn't cause me any problems at all. Once I let it sit for 2-3 weeks, it will cost me anotther 1,000 Euros in repairs. Some sensor might be pissed or whatever... And whatever it is... You gotta keep a 1,000 Euros handy... I am 100% convinced that my Cayman S and also my Cayenne Turbo would work just fine as daily drivers since that's my experience whenever I used them as dailys... Unfortunately I'm a car-hoarder and therefore I got way too many cars. But if I owned only one or two cars and one of them would be a Cayman, it would be totaööy fine as a daily.

You look tall, do you fit ok and have enough room in the pedals? I'm looking at 987s and I'm 6'4". I find the cabin roomy enough but the footwell is a bit tight.

I’m 190 cm = 6'2.8. The car is fine for me, no problems, but I had the seat all the way back, no problems around the pedals. If you are 6’4 I think it should be fine as well. You should go and test drive one! 😃

isnt the base model 2.7 liter?

@@Michael_Odelberth yeah, I own a 2008 987.1 cayman S. Surprisingly, the gas mileage and the maintenance cost are very reasonable for such a sports car. Fingers crossed that I haven't run across any of the common 987.1 problems yet; no IMS, no RMS, no AOS, no bore scoring problem yet. Just the scheduled maintenance so far.
