I Bought My First Porsche Cayman – Is It Really Worth The Hype?

I finally bought my first Porsche… but was everyone right? After years of buying, selling and driving all sorts of performance cars, I decided it was finally time to experience Porsche ownership for myself. In this video I take an honest look at my Porsche Cayman S 987.2 Manual and answer the question I’ve been asking myself since buying it… Is the Porsche Cayman 987.2 really worth the hype? This isn’t just another specification review. It’s my genuine experience living with the car, discussing everything from the incredible handling and mid-engine balance to the things that genuinely surprised me. Has owning a Porsche changed my opinion of the brand? Is the manual really better than PDK? And should you buy a Porsche Cayman 987 in 2026? In this video I cover: ● My honest thoughts after buying my first Porsche ● Why I chose the 987.2 Cayman S Manual ● Manual vs PDK ● Porsche Sports Exhaust (PSE) ● Factory options including Sports Seats & Spyder Wheels ● Running costs, fuel economy and insurance ● Practicality and daily usability ● What I love about the Cayman ● What disappointed me ● Is the Porsche badge really worth paying for? ● Would I buy another Porsche? Whether you’re thinking about buying your first Porsche, researching a 987.2 Cayman S, or simply wondering if these cars deserve their reputation, I hope this review helps. Has Porsche won me over? You’ll have to watch until the end to find out… 👍 If you enjoyed the video, please leave a like and let me know in the comments: Would you choose a manual or PDK Cayman?
