The 2014 Porsche Cayman receives top marks from U.S. News. The sports car ranked number one across multiple categories. With a reasonable price tag, the 2014 Cayman delivers a lot of bang for the buck.

The 2014 Porsche Cayman handles as well as you’d expect

U.S News raved about the driving experience that the 2014 Porsche Cayman delivers. Its platform was originally designed for use in the legendary 911 Carrera. The Cayman is just as spritely. This car is quick, agile, and just as responsive as you would expect from a Porsche.

Reviewers said the car was “one of the most engaging and delightful sports cars to drive.” That’s high praise for a car that buyers can typically snag for $35,000. That’s not a steep price tag to drive a car from a legendary brand.

One place the Cayman doesn’t shine

Reviewers love the 2014 Porsche Cayman inside and out, but there is one area where the car under-delivers. The Cayman’s interior feels light on features for a luxury sports car. The Cayman features a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system which was lauded as easy to use but little else to boast.

Other than the control center, the interior lacks a few luxurious touches. A common pain point in reviews was the lack of interior storage. The car feels a little austere for a luxury brand. The cupholders were mentioned as disappointing.

This is one of the most comfortable sports cars on the market

Power and performance define the Porsche brand. Comfort isn’t the first word that springs to mind when describing the European automaker. Despite some minor criticisms of the Porsche Cayman’s interior, the seat impressed across the board.

A common criticism of many sports cars is the discomfort of their seats. These performance seats are built differently to compensate for these high-performance vehicles’ increased power and speed.

The 2014 Porsche Cayman features sumptuous driver and passenger seats. Testers felt hugged by the formed shape. The seat is meant to hold drivers through tight turns. Not every sports car brand covers its seats in a thick layer of cushion like the Cayman. Leather and heating give the seats a luxurious feel.

A reliable choice for years of enjoyment

J. D. Power and Associates awarded the 2014 Porsche Cayman a five out of five reliability score. High-performance vehicles have a reputation for being high-maintenance as well. The Cayman’s engineering makes for a balance between reliability and power.

With a combined EPA fuel economy rating of 24 miles per gallon, the Cayman isn’t thirsty. Combined with its reliability, its fuel economy makes it a great choice for a sporty daily driver. The Cayman also features a little extra trunk space compared to comparable models making it a practical coupe.

Beautiful lines that reflect Porsche’s iconic style

The 2014 Porsche Cayman looks every bit as fast and elegant as its more expensive siblings. A classic Porsche profile sets this affordable used option apart. The distinctive fenders and swooping rear lines immediately identify this car as a Porsche. That aesthetic is hard to put a price on, but the 2014 Cayman seems like a steal.
