Porsche Cayman

Performance

3.4-litre engine has 295bhp but does its best work at over 4000rpm, so you'll have to work it hard through the six-speed box to reach the 250lb ft torque the Cayman is capable of.

Driving

Grip and feedback allow you to drive the Cayman hard, as do the incredible brakes. Good ride too.

Feel

Engine growls, but in a good way.

---

Price

Not cheap, high running costs but strong residuals

Quality

Solidly built, good inside, should be reliable.

Safety

Six bags, stability control are standard. PASM is an option, altering suspension to suit driving conditions.

---

Space

Plenty of space for two, with two small boots of 150 and 260 litres.

Equipment

Loads of standard kit, plenty of options.

Alternatives

BMW 6-Series Convertible

Pros
