2012 PORSCHE CAYMAN Review
Overview
The 2012 Porsche Cayman is a two-door two-passenger sports coupe that offers outstanding power, fresh interiors, and impressive design. Available in two trims: Base and the sportier S, the Porsche Cayman remains unchanged for 2012.
Powertrain And Performance
The Porsche Cayman is motivated by two engine types - a 245-horsepower 2.7-liter flat six-cylinder on the Base model paired with a five-speed manual or an optional automatic transmission and a 295-horsepower 3.4-liter on the S trim version teamed with a standard six-speed manual or the available automatic transmission. Estimated fuel economy of the Porsche Cayman Base is 20/29 mpg (city/highway) and that of the Cayman S is 18/26 mpg (city/highway). The 2010 Cayman Base sprints to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, while the Cayman S accelerates to the 60 mph mark in just 5 seconds.
Build And Styling
The Porsche Cayman is an eye-catcher with its contemporary design elements that include seductively shaped rear wheel arches and a wide rear track with a curvaceous arching roofline and flawlessly cut doors. Its bi-plane spoiler automatically extends at speeds above 75 mph.
The Porsche Cayman is loaded with various standard features such as heated and electrically adjustable outside mirrors; 17-inch Cayman alloy wheels; active brake differential; automatic power windows with tip up/down; on-board computer with continuous indication of mileage, time, and speed; instrument dials; front-end with prominent air intakes and lower spoiler edge; automatically deployed rear spoiler; and a digital AM/FM radio with CD player. The Porsche Cayman S adds more amenities such as larger brakes; metallic-trimmed instrument dials; 18-inch wheels; and nine-speaker audio system.
Safety Features
The Porsche Cayman comes with a whole lot of high-tech safety equipment that include dual front advanced, head and thorax airbags; anti-lock brake system; anti-theft system with immobilizer, interior sensor, and remote control; ventilated disc brakes; seatbelt pre-tensioners with belt-force limitation; and tire-pressure monitor.
