Is $50,000 too much, or too little, for an entry-level Porsche?

Performance

With 245 horsepower and 201 lb.-ft. of torque to motivate its 2,866 pounds, the Cayman is certainly quick, but a number of less expensive cars can beat Porsche’s estimated 5.9-second 0-60 time. Raw numbers aren’t the whole story; we only found it lacking on the highway, where we wished for more torque (but liked the 18.6 mpg average). On our favorite mountain road, the revs stayed high and the Cayman had plenty of power. The five-speed shifter is beautifully weighted and the clutch progressive, but we think the extra money for the optional six-speed would add some needed off-the-line zip to the Cayman.
