5 Great Sports Cars

Introduced in 2006, the Porsche Cayman has been called a masterpiece. It's largely a Boxster with a sleek steel roof, making it profoundly better looking than the roundish Boxster, and more distinctive than a Carrera. Oh those body curves, especially at the hips, rising to accept the steeply sloping roof.

The 3.4-liter S makes 295 horsepower. Its chassis is much more rigid than a Boxster, thanks to its roof; this takes the handling from great to brilliant, with a Sport mode that sharpens the throttle and tightens the shocks. Magnificent brakes, too.

The Cayman S is like a beautiful woman or handsome man with brains and personality to match. You think there's gotta be a catch and there is. It's the options. They're expensive. Good luck in getting out the door for less than $65k.
