Here are extracts from numerous Porsche Cayman S reviews available on the Internet:
Autoexpress preview: "Over a winding road this machine feels every inch as involving as a 911 Carrera, and in some situations it betters the bigger car. The new hard-top helps stiffen the chassis, but without losing the character of the Boxster's roof-down driving experience. In fact, the Porsche team has managed to add to it by carefully honing the exhaust note and reducing wind noise."
MSN Cars review: "Despite its shared roots the Cayman S reveals itself to be palpably more focused than the Boxster on the road."
Yahoo Cars reviews: "Instead feel safe in the knowledge that youre getting 911-style capability with a better balance for £43,950. Its easy to see a place for the top end 911 GT3s and Turbos but for the Carrera, the writing could well be on the wall."
VerdictOnCars review: "Yet on the road the Cayman more than justifies its existence as a distinct model - and one with driving dynamics scintillating enough to make a 911 over a tight, twisty country road feel heavy and ponderous by comparison. Given £50,000 and a free choice, this is the Porsche that we'd buy."
Independent Online review: "So that's the wonderful Cayman - a remarkable illustration of a rigid, solid-roofed bodyshell's advantages. Compared with its Boxster progenitor, its character has altered completely from satisfying but softish convertible to hard-edged driving machine, to the extent you wonder if you need that expensive 911 after all.
The Cayman S has all the positive Porsche attributes you could want, and none of the snags. It's not the fastest Porsche, not the fiercest, not the most breathtaking. But, overall, I reckon it's the best."
Autocar review: "Off the record, all Porsche engineers agree that, in the basic disciplines that combine under the blanket term "˜handling', the Cayman is the best sports car Porsche currently makes. And that includes any 911. Having driven the Cayman on road and track, wet and dry, snow and ice, we agree."
Pistonheads review: "It also showed us that the Cayman is user friendly on the limit once you know what it will do. This really is the best handling production Porsche ever."
