It took more time for me to get fully acquainted with the Cayman S than it did with the Boxster and the 911. Extra precision is required when entering a curve. You have to carefully plan your braking zone and your approach angle, otherwise you'll feel some definite understeer or oversteer. Stability and traction controls do a good job of helping the driver without taking over too soon. The result is well balanced handling and driving in all situations. In the city, the Cayman S edges its way surprisingly well considering the limited visibility. The car's accelerations allow the driver

to find any spot in the traffic. The Cayman S is also very stable and adept on the highway, where it seems to have a really good time. The huge Michelin Pilot tires literally stick to the road.

A matter of tastes
Performance is there. So is the handling, if you take its tendencies into account. Everything's a matter of tastes. Do you prefer a coupe or a roadster? If you like coupes, opt for the Cayman.
