Motor Trend's 2009 Best Driver's Car Winner: Cayman S PDK
 

"No other car here -- not one -- delivers the Porsche's Braillelike road-reading. You can feel every tire doing its work."

"Probably more than any other car here, including the R8, this one feels like an extension of your neural synapses."

"Racecar. Racecar. Wow. The thing about the Cayman is-gosh, I hope they don't hate me for saying this -- I think it's just about better than any 911. The Cayman is one of the best-handling cars I've ever driven."

Cayman IS a great car. But not to take anything away from it, American car rags are only good for bathroom reading when I don't have CAR or EVO.

Wow a very Powerfull article and statement !!!
And to think My Dream car is the Audi R-8

Last weekend I was in Seattle and there was an R-8 driving through the parking lot where my car was parked at the famous pancake house ,I over heard a guy say to his wife/girlfriend as i was sitting outside waiting for a table that the he liked the Black Porsche parked over there better .

I still REALLY like the lines of the R-8 but that made me feel good:D

You could buy 2 Cayman S for the price of 1 R-8 so even though this is an American Mag Its still a Good Thing for us Cayman owners

Bravo! One never really knows what is behind a Motor Trend endorsement, but I guess this is one of those, "DONT LOOK A GIFTED HORSE IN THE MOUTH"

Bravo, Motor Trend.!!!

Nice....:D

video released...

Porsche did really good job with the 987. I'd still take gt3 over the Cayman but at the moment it's too much $$$ so I'm happily driving a CS.
I wonder how many CS owners eventually move up to GT3? I know at least a few

Nice review. Thanks for finding/sharing.

I've got to check out this PDK thing. I've always been old school in that I enjoy being able to blip the throttle and play with the 6 speed.

Wish it used paddle shift

What they need to do is give the Cayman the power of the GT3.

thanks for sharing

Everyone with any track training and knowledge knows that the GT3 would be greatly improved if Porsche would only move the location of the GT3's engine to the same place as the Cayman. If this were to happen you would see most serious 911 drivers quit the 911 completely and move UP to the Cayman.

pdk=the best shifting i have ever felt.

Video is a good benchmark, thanks!
