Is it Porsche's courage or people's loyalty to this very strong image? They took there mid-engine convertible Boxster model, and reshaped it as acoupe. What objective reasons are there for preferring the Cayman over the Boxster? In the direct comparison, there is the clearly stiffer carbody of course. The rear boot fits 260 instead of 150 liters. Having the same front, the rear design with its almost provocative fenders drawnabout the rear wheels can be called sophisticated. However, this last reason ranges beyond rationality.

The rather narrow interior is remarkable. Headrests and the self extending back spoiler interfere in the rear-view mirror. The car has been builtaround a central engine almost uncompromisingly. Of course, the very low centre of gravity is advantageous in curves. Thus, even the lesspowerful Cayman engine is able to compete with its competitors.

In comparison to its competitors, Porsche is definitely slightly more expensive. Though, Porsches in general compensate their high price with agood trade-in value. Servicing is expensive, too. In the past, Porsche built sporty, yet always also consumption-efficient vehicles. Today, somePorsches might require a little gulp more as compared to its competitors.

A typical feature that Porsche kept till this day is the direct way with which the car communicates with the driver. This holds true acoustically forthe engine, which is situated directly behind the front seats. However, there are only few people who feel this sound to be disturbing. On thecontrary, many drivers put on maximum engine speeds for the sound of the engine. The steering and the wheel suspension deliver a lot ofinformation about the state of the road surface. With its unusual low centre of gravity, the stabilizer effect can be minimized to hold the rollingangle low. In general, this Porsche creates a feeling of immediate access without much electronic settlement in between. The only functionalelement which performs relatively indirect is the shift cable, obviously hardly avoidable with a middle engine with gearbox completely in the back.
