Distinguishing features
To ensure fans clearly distinguish the 2009 model among the flock of Caymans, the exterior of the car has also been lightly updated. Essentially, the bumper has been reworked, the tail lights are now DEL and the wheels are new.
The price of sportiness and a name
The Cayman S starts at $82,160. While some cars can compare, competition is rare in this price range. Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG ($84,800), Chevrolet Corvette ($66,145), Audi TTS 2.0TFSI ($57,600) and Nissan 370Z ($39,990) fit the bill.
A Porsche for the layman
The arrival of the Cayman has allowed the mythical Porsche cars to become more accessible. Despite a certain democratization of the price, the cars have long been too temperamental to be tamed by the uninitiated. The introduction of the PDK transmission makes the driving experience as accessible as the price, if not more, as long as you pay it the respect it’s due.
