I’m not an instructor by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have a couple lessons about the Cayman that I’d like to pass on to you:

No. 1: Don’t confuse sports cars with luxury cars. Porsche is focused on driving, not massaging your tush. My dad claims that Ferdinand Porsche couldn’t understand why anyone would want a radio in one of his cars. I’m not sure if it’s true, but it makes sense to me. The Porsche’s engine noise is distinctive and very loud in the car. If that’s not your thing, well, maybe you should consider a different car. The Cayman did have a stereo; it was quite nice, but I didn’t have it on much. I happened to agree with Ferdinand; I preferred the sound of the engine on this one.

No. 2: Sports cars, including the Cayman, can handle some groceries. Many car manufacturers aim to make sports cars accommodate at least one bag of golf clubs. That’s roughly the same cargo space as a smallish load of groceries, although that’s not why you buy it, right? There were front and rear cargo spaces in the Cayman, which is enough room to fit a bag or two for a weekend getaway with your date.

No. 3: Heated leather-upholstered seats are, well, delicious.
