The Cayman had a cheap radio, sand beige interior that you needed to be careful about scratching the painted plastic surfaces that needed constant touch ups. Suspension squeaks, rear hatch rattle, poorly engineered paddle shifters, on and on. After the issue I had with a broken spark plug on #4 cylinder, I had enough of Porsche. Sold the car, and bought the Audi. Fit and finish, quality interior and options on the Audi rival any of the Porsches (4) I owned. Ride and handling equal to the Cayman, no squeaks,rattles or cheap interior pieces. The Audi is bank vault solid. At my age, I don’t feel like working on cars like I did 15-20 years ago. I had my fun with the Porsche’s I had, but time to move on. So long Porsche, hello Audi…

Nice car! Sad state of affairs if Audi - which is also a VAG brand has Porsche beat! First time I heard such a bad review of the Cayman. I thought by then the interior issues were overcome. That TT looks the business, just has the engine in the wrong place, especially considering the shape of its body.
