2007 Porsche Cayman First Drive by Edmunds' Inside Line

Our weekend thrash of the new standard/regular/base/normal 2007 Porsche Cayman on German back roads and autobahns instantly revealed that this S-less wünder retains much of the inherent goodness and finely honed driving behavior of the original high-performance, 2-seat, midengine/rear-drive Cayman S coupe. What has been lost in the S-removal process is 50 horsepower, 0.7 second of 0-60 quickness, and $9,500 in price.

In some ways, yes. The 911's design is more iconic, but I prefer the Cayman's lines. The midengine layout offers more balance and finnese then the 911's rear mounted six.

You can afford both yet you have a bunch of car game videos as your favorites.

i just saw a 07 Cayman down the road for me going for 27,000. Thats not bad for a low milage Porsche thats fun to drive and a real head turner.

YOu can get these so cheap right now, and it's a purist experience. No S badge needed.

Just wondering, does anybody know the long term cost of ownership? I read reviews with people that have 06' Caymans with close to 60k and they havent had single problem! Im just curious about the cost of owning for the long term since id have no intentions of ever selling it. Any info would be helpful of course and much appreciated.

370z is only a great value compared to the "Cayman" when only track test numbers are concerned. If you'd actually driven a Porsche Cayman you'd understand that #'s are far from the only aspect that make it so great. Besides if your main concern is 0-60 and so on the 10' Porsche Cayman S will rip the 370z a new one. The 370Z fills like you’re driving a box of smashed rotten assholes in comparison.
