Porsche Cayman

Whitey#1 · 03-13-2011, 06:54 PM

Hello again everybody,
Its been a long, long time since i have posted on here, hope everybody is doing well!

Anyway, I am still enjoying my 2009 Monterrey Blue 370Z with the polished aluminum wheels. However, I am thinking seriously about trading it in for a Porsche Cayman. Was just wondering if anybody had any thoughts on the Cayman or if anybody has had one or driven one.

Thanks, and I am looking forward to your comments.

The car is well received here. It costs 50% or more. You will also get hammered on the trade in with your Z.

Test drive the Cayman and figure out if it's worth it to you.

For some people it will be, for other it won't.

Funny timing. I have been looking at them myself. I decided on the 370z (which has more horse power btw) but now with the awful tragedy in Japan- Im not sure they will fill orders. I'm waiting a week or so to see if any news develops. If not I might buy a used Cayman.

I would consider a used Carrera or Boxter.

My big boss bought a Cayman. If he ever sold

that would be a solid choice.

If I could afford a Porsche, I'd be driving one.

Good luck and don't forget pics.

lol if I wanted to I could of gotten a cayman/boxer.

but I hate porsches. they look outdated/overpriced and too expensive to maintain.

looks like I really don't like german car brands.

I don't like BMW,audi,mercedes except for their hyper cars/porsche.

im more for japanese/british cars

aston martin

, jaguar cars like the XJR and so on.

though my most favorite car brand is still lamborghini.

You complain about Porsche maintenance, stating it is one of the reasons you hate them, and your favorite is a lambo and british cars?!?

I think the p-car is a natural step after the Z. But for me im probably going to get something else.

In the past I test drove the Porsche Cayman and Porsche Cayman S before I purchased one of my previous Z’s. The Porsche Cayman base version was under powered to me and was not what I thought it would be. The Porsche Cayman S was faster and is a nice vehicle to own but I don’t think the car justified paying the price tag not worth it at all to me. The maintenance schedule costs that of a glorified trust fund baby. Hope you have the funds when you get problems with it good luck. Parts and labor is expensive. Trading in your Z will be a mistake you will get royalty screwed on the trade even though Japanese sports cars have good resale value overall. If you are considering selling your Z sell it out right so you can get what your Nissan 370Z is actually worth don’t screw yourself. I would never purchase the Porsche Cayman or any Porsche for that matter. Knowing people how owned Audi’s in the past their dependability/reliability leaves a lot to be desired. If I were considering another vehicle I would wait until 2021 or 2022 for Nissan to unveil the 400Z or purchase a used GTR. I support Nissan and keep it real.

Cayman? No. Cayman S? Do it.

christian370z · 03-13-2011, 08:09 PM

I agree, I would not even consider a Cayman unless it is the S. While the base Cayman has impeccable manners, fit, and finesse, it would be a step down from the Z in my opinion.
