PORSCHE CAYMAN S/BOXSTER S

Don’t ever think that the Cayman and Boxster are built for sissies or women to cruise the boulevard with their best hat on. It’s really one for the road –a set of twisters you’d otherwise tackle on a Sunday with your best big bike on. The Cayman and the Boxster are built for sheer driving pleasure, and you will be amazed by what this pair can do. Sitting on a long wheelbase platform – longer that even the 911, the Boxster and Cayman set benchmarks as far as handling, steering and body control are concerned. The mid-engine cabrio and coupe have banished terms like ‘scuttle shake’, yet produce close to 300bhp. It is the 914/924/944 of our generation – practical, daily use Porsches that are relatively cheap to buy and maintain but a riot a drive.
