Porsche Boxster/Cayman (2013-/2014-)

The Porsche Boxster/Cayman is Porsche's entry-level sports car that slots below the 911 in terms of power and size. The base Cayman is powered by a 2.7-liter flat-six producing 275 hp and 213 lb-ft of torque; the Cayman S has a 3.4-liter flat-six with 325 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The Boxster and Boxster S have similar performance figures as its hardtop variant, but it isn't as fast. Also, the Boxster/Cayman is mid-engine, RWD, and has a six-speed manual. The base Cayman can go from 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds, while the Cayman S will reach 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. The Boxster/S has similar acceleration times, only slightly higher than that of the Cayman. The Cayman has a starting price of $52,600, while the Cayman S starts at $63,800. The Boxster has a lower starting price than the Cayman. The Porsche Boxster/Cayman is a decent car, but the 911 will always be a better car because it is more powerful, more iconic, and arguably looks better. I saw the white Boxster on New Year's Day while the black Boxster was in the Bay Area early last month. The silver Cayman below was seen at a dealer in Fremont last week.
