Why We Drove It: The Porsche Cayman received 5 out of 5 Power Circle Ratings in the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Initial Quality and APEAL Studies. It was also the highest ranked model in its class in the APEAL Study, which measures customer satisfaction with performance and design. Low sample size in our 2009 vehicle studies produced no ratings for Cayman.
In surveys that J.D. Power and Associates has conducted with verified owners of the Porsche Cayman, the people that actually own and drive one told us what they like and what they don’t like about the car.

To the owner who needs two hands to close the trunk;Close the trunk with a door or window slightly open. It is a very air tight car.
