2015 Porsche Cayman GTS Review

    I know some people like the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class or the BMW Z4 a lot because they're relatively cheap and are lots of fun. The Porsche Cayman is not cheaper, but is way more fun. The newest model, the GTS, is quite a performer, with a 340-hp tune from the same engine in the 911 Carrera, which is a little crazy to put in a Cayman. I think it would be a ton of fun to have a 600+ hp Cayman, but that would probably be too fast and they would put an unfair limit on the speedometer, which would ruin the point of 600 hp. But the GTS is still plenty fast, with a 0-60 time of 4.0-4.3 seconds, which is definitely fast enough. The top speed is limited to 177, which is only a little faster than a M-B ML63 AMG, which is twice the size and has a 5.5 liter twin-turbo V8. The interior is comfortable enough, but isn't so comfortable that you'd be distracted form the driving, just like in a Bentley. I actually really like the Cayman GTS, and would definitely rater have one over a 911 Carrera, which is $10K more.
