A flick of the wheel in the opposite direction, and the car is back in line. A great stability control system is one that modulates engine power to the wheels instead of shutting it down completely, which unsettles the vehicle and startles the driver.
The PSM does a wonderful job, allowing just the right amount of power in almost all situations. The Boxster and Cayman also enjoy a near-perfect weight distribution, which makes them a lot easier to control. Tags: Cayman Auto You May Also Like. More Articles. From this author. There was more fun to be had with the nannies off.
Unbridled, the Cayman T actually became more predictable. Slipping and sliding and kicking up enough of a rooster tail to make a Ski-Doo jealous, the Cayman T was a handful, but on the playful side rather than the fearful.
The light steering never got in my way, the crisp shifter rewarded every next gear, but I have to say I found the throttle response lacking.

Any ill-intended passer-by could just lift a corner on those suction cups and walk away with the whole thing. It's easy enough to secure inside the car, but assuming your roof is covered in road grime, as it will be this time of year, you'll need to do a little cleaning before sticking the rack back on for the return trip. That's no fun when it's this cold. But still, were I in the lucky position to run a Cayman through four seasons, I would consider a SeaSucker a necessary accessory.
Despite acres of corduroy and good conditions, I confess I cut my time on the slopes short that day. Every time I got to the lifts I saw the red Cayman T sitting there in the lot, waiting.
