What Do You Get When You Cross A 911 With a Ferrari Dino?Source: MSN Autos...connecting a non-Porsche-stock stereo because of battery drain issues I have read about.) Also -- save the awesome seats -- interior materials are not quite up to the standards of an Audi or Benz. You *could* always shell out for the full leather interor -- expensive, but looks fantastic. Overall: I would keep in mind how you are going to use the car. If your commute is along the coast or smooth mountain roads, you are not making a mistake in buying this car. If you spend most of your time in bumper-to-bumper traffic in the center of town, I would recommend investing in an Audi or Lexus with... |

Surprising car - about as pure a driving machine as you can get for <60KSource: MSN Autos...Cons: Coming from a big, bouncy Mustang - the stiffness of the ride was initially jarring - but you quickly get used to it. Can get noisy on anything less than glass-flat surfaces and at higher RPMs due to engine location INSIDE the passenger compartment. While only being a small 2-seat coupe it is NOT a tiny vehicle (a la Miata, Lotus Elise, et al.) - it is a sizable car for it's class and it is something to keep in mind when parking or driving through narrow spaces. Other than those "personal" quibbles - there is NOTHING wrong with the car itself, as one would expect Overall: Just an... |

Why should I also consider these?
The BMW M Coupe is perhaps the primary rival to the 2008 Porsche Cayman, if you're not counting roadster models.
Compared to the Cayman, the M Coupe doesn't have as much finesse on the road; it feels a bit heavier behind the wheel, but it's still enjoyable to drive with its good suspension design and silky straight-six engine.
Its interior is better designed than that of the Cayman, too.
For those looking for something even more exclusive and extreme in performance, without breaking the bank too much, the Lotus Elise is a possibility.
The lightweight Elise has a little 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, yet it can reach 60 mph faster than the Cayman.
Don't plan on a lot of comfort, though; the ride is hard, the interior is loud, and appointments are basic.
You'll also be one of the lowest vehicles on the road.
