Porsche Cayman 2.9 PDK

Is Porsche's pretty little Cayman the best pound-for-pound sports car you can buy? Many have argued just that. It's certainly an absolute riot to drive. The chassis in particular is a masterpiece; light and lithe, precise and poised, fluid and feelsome. Then there's the classic flat-six engine note, deep-down engineering integrity and the minor matter of one of the most desirable badges in the world. It's a killer package, no doubt. But Porsches have never just been about driving dynamics or street cred. Day-to-day usability is also a crucial part of the experience. Buyers expect Ferrari-flattening moves combined with the sort of in-car features and functionality you might find in a Mercedes or BMW. It's what makes a Porsche such a great all round ownership proposition while other sports cars are merely toys for the weekend thrash. In other words, in-car technology and practicality probably matters more in a Porsche than any other high-end road rocket.
