For The extra power over the 'basic' Cayman gives this S version useful extra performance, and it has a smarter look than the basic car, too.

Against Despite the extra cost, the S doesn't have any more luxury kit than the standard Cayman. It also sits in a higher insurance group.

Porsche Cayman Coupe

What Car? says

5 out of 5 stars

The regular Cayman might be a mighty fine car in its own right, but the S still has that certain something that makes it worth the extra. This is good enough to make the 911 seem almost redundant.
