What Car? says
For Amazing performance, grip and agility
Against More expensive than most cars to run, but not bad for a Porsche
Verdict Almost as good as the iconic 911, but for a lot less cash
Go for… 2.9-litre
Avoid… 3.4-litre (291bhp)
- 1. Many purists think a 911 is the only Porsche worth considering, but they'd be badly mistaken
- 2. The 2.7-litre and 2.9-litre models are perfectly suited to most drivers. They offer plenty of pace, but also help to keep running costs under control
- 3. It’s a Porsche, so don’t expect to run a Cayman on pocket money, but that doesn’t make it overly expensive for a car of this class
- 4. Despite the cost, it’s best to stick with a franchised dealer when servicing newer cars; this will help protect future resale values
- 5. Some owners experience brake problems, with discs becoming warped if they're not used hard enough
