Porsche Cayman

Porsche wants the Cayman to be seen as more than just a Boxster with a fixed roof, which is why it separates the two cars in its price lists. There's some logic to the decision, with the Cayman appealing to a slightly more discerning driver. It shares much with its Boxster relative though, including the 2.9-litre and 3.4-litre six-cylinder engines, but amazingly it feels even more involving and enjoyable to drive – although it lacks the Boxster's open-air appeal.

The Cayman delivers everything you could want from a Porsche. Either the regular 2.9-litre Cayman or 3.4-litre Cayman S model offers strong performance, while the sensational handling balance created by the mid-mounted engine and fine suspension make the car an absolute joy to drive. It's practical, too, with front and rear luggage compartments. That's just a bonus though, as the Cayman is all about driving.

The Porsche Cayman is essentially a coupe version of the brilliant Porsche Boxster. The Cayman competes with stylish rivals such as the Audi TT Coupe and Lotus Evora, and promises very strong performance and a hugely entertaining driving experience. There's a choice of entry-level 2.7-litre model and the more powerful 3.4-litre Cayman S.
