2016 Porsche Cayman

Brand context

About Porsche

Since the early 2000s, the Porsche lineup has expanded to include practical performance cars, including the Panamera sedan and wagon, Cayenne midsized SUV, Macan compact SUV, and Taycan EV. Every Porsche we’ve tested has achieved stellar road-test and owner satisfaction scores, thanks to sharp handling, a controlled ride, superb braking performance, and beautifully crafted interiors. Although Consumer Reports’ survey data shows that its vehicles can be expensive to maintain and repair, the brand tends to do well in our reliability rankings. Porsche’s rich history and prestige adds to the appeal. Even today, the name Porsche brings to mind the rear-engine 911, which rightfully remains a dream sports car for generations of enthusiasts. For less money, the mid-engined 718 Boxster roadster and Cayman coupe offer some of the most superb driving experiences possible.
