In this Doug DeMuro review, we dive into the world of the 2008 Porsche Cayman, a car that may not be the fastest or the rarest, but boy, is it fantastic. The Cayman, a sleek coupe sibling of the Porsche Boxster, made its debut in '06 with both the Cayman S and the base model. The base Cayman rocks a 2.7L Flat 6 engine with 240 horses, while the S version cranks it up a notch with a 3.2L Flat 6 pushing out 290 horsepower. Both models offer impressive performance, with the base Cayman hitting 0 to 60 in about 6 seconds, and the Cayman S shaving off half a second.

Now, let's talk quirks - the Cayman doesn't disappoint in this department. From the unique Macadamia Metallic paint color to the striking hip lines over the rear wheels, this car exudes style. The rear spoiler, reminiscent of the Carrera GT, adds a touch of sportiness, while the dual trunks - front and rear - provide unexpected practicality for a mid-engine car. Inside, the Cayman's interior strikes a balance between functionality and quality, with quirky features like unconventional window switch placement and hidden cup holders that showcase German engineering at its finest.

But wait, there's more - the Cayman surprises with its sport Chrono display for lap timing, cruise control, and a driver-focused gauge cluster with a tachometer front and center. The base Cayman comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the Cayman S offers a 6-speed manual for those craving extra performance. And here's the kicker - these early Cayman models are currently up for grabs at bargain prices on cars and bids, making them an irresistible choice for anyone in the market for a stylish, practical, and affordable mid-engine sports car.
