The Cayman is longer, lower, and lighter than the previous model. It essentially is a Boxster coupe. The base model is powered by a 2.7-liter flat-six engine. Offering higher performance, the S and GTS versions pack a stronger 3.4-liter flat six. In our tests of the 2.7-liter Boxster, we found it to be responsive, and the manual shifter is smooth and crisp. Handling is still excellent despite some loss of steering feedback in the current model, and the ride is pretty compliant for a sports coupe. The front trunk and hatchback provide a surprising amount of storage space. The new GT4 is the most powerful version with a 375-hp, 3.8-liter 6-cylinder engine.

To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. NA indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.

In most cases, automotive warranties are based on the vehicle identification
number (VIN), and the warranty will be valid regardless of ownership. The dealership
can tell you exactly how much warranty is left.
An all-new Cayman arrived for 2014 with more power, a longer wheelbase and a wider track. Both the base and S are offered with a manual or automated manual transmissions. Handling is excellent, even with the electric steering and ride quality is not punishing.
Porsche used the Boxster platform as the basis for the Cayman coupe. Power comes from a mid-mounted horizontally-opposed six-cylinder engine. The Cayman S is the higher-performance version, placing it between the Boxster and 911 in terms of price and performance. Both five- and six-speed manuals are available; a five-speed Tiptronic automatic optional. The fixed-roof coupe seats two passengers and uses a hatchback design that allows for more rear storage than the Boxster. Like the Boxster, the Cayman also has a front trunk.
