Re: Porsche - truly outstanding long-term quality

I'm at 35K in my 2.7. Not only is the base model Cayman an incredibly fun car to drive (even after all those miles), but the car continues to reflect exactly what this article is talking about (albeit for 911s and Boxsters) - Porsche makes one helluva car.

I'm at 10k and no problems. Except the trunk clunk and some rattes, not worth a trip to the dealer. Will address those on regular service visits.
Have you had any of the clutch or other mechanical problems?

And, I agree its one helluva car!

None. Wish the brakes held up a bit better, but after some Autocross and DE, and some track runs, well......replacing them at 32K wasn't so bad.
