Porsche Cayman 2008
Tuan's Cayman was great! I got a really good sense of what a mid-engine Porsche is all about. Took a trip down to Napa Valley, then to Point Reyes. Also went through the East Bay hills. The 20" tires really helps the car handle curves like a champ, and the rev of the 987's engine (a melodious tenor baritone) sets the tone for an enlivened driving experience. The fact that this Cayman is a manual transmission is wonderful, as there is the gestalt that you are at one with the machinery. The car feels mechanical in all the right ways, while maintaining a nimble, responsive personality. The car is also quite zen, as it's balance is centered in the belly of the vehicle; the mid-engine feels as though it is pushing you along effortlessly, especially when taking curves. Tuan is professional, courteous, and is passionate about Porsche. Why not rent out his Cayman, and experience the beauty of the 987!
