Is the Porsche Cayman a good investment?
987.2 Cayman S manual (2009–2012)
The thesis
The 987.2 Cayman S (320hp 3.4L) offers 95% of the R experience at £18k–£30k. The facelift eliminated IMS/bore-scoring, adding DFI and stronger internals. Manual transmission, mid-engine balance, analogue steering, and Porsche build quality make it a serious driver's tool. Market stable; best examples under £30k represent value before the next wave of appreciation.
