2009 Porsche Cayman Review

Introduction

Porsche doesn’t like criticism. For the Porsche Cayman, its designers and engineers addressed almost every complaint, omission and secret desire we had for its two-seat sport coupe. Last year, we would have told you that the automatic transmission was unimpressive, the base model wasn’t powerful enough and the interior controls were poorly laid out. The Cayman also lacked satellite radio and an iPod jack, and our softer editor types probably secretly yearned for their butts to be cooler and their hands warmer, too.

Porsche addressed all of it for 2009. The lone remaining complaint was excessive options pricing, and we’re guessing Porsche’s executives can live with that as they dance around in piles of money. Therefore, with all those other complaints taken care of, we’ll unveil new ones this year to see just how far Porsche will go to appease our wishes. We’d now fancy houndstooth upholstery, an onboard Xbox and somewhere to stow a pogo stick.

For now, let’s go over some of those welcome changes made to the 2009 Porsche Cayman. Both six-cylinder “boxer” engines were upgraded. The base model’s displacement jumps from 2.7 to 2.9 liters, and output climbs to 265 horsepower. The 3.4-liter mill in the Cayman S gets direct injection and is now good for 320 hp. The base car’s manual transmission has been given an extra cog for a grand total of six. However, the big news in the performance department is the introduction of the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (double-clutch gearbox), or PDK, should you not sprechen Deutsch. This seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission is capable of operating in full automatic mode or with gearchanges ordered up by the driver via wheel-mounted buttons. Regardless of which mode you use, shifts are incredibly quick and smooth. PDK also produces better acceleration and fuel economy compared to last year’s automatic and manual transmissions.

If you place last year’s Cayman next to the 2009 version, you may be able to tell the visual differences, but don’t feel bad if you can’t. The interior is also mostly unchanged, but the center stack has been redone to incorporate Porsche’s new touchscreen interface and larger display. Those aforementioned wish-list features were added (including ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel) as well as an upgraded navigation system.
