Porsche Cayman S and Macan Turbo: Sense Testing. Porsche Cayman hunter for curves Sports steering wheel

Did you have unhappy love? When, from childhood, you know even the name, and the name of your dream is Porsche. Didn't it be? And I was! In the youthful years, almost led the pencil "Porsche 944". Later, after a long break, again met her - a matured and prayer. But hopes to associate the rings with her, even if Smolensky, burst, burst as a tire "Porsche Cayen GTS" on the crossway (SP, 2013, No. 12). Fortunately, we still were able to overcome the tension of the relationship and went to the Smolensk Ring, but the chill remained. And here is a new fatal novel, this time - with Porsche Cayman S.

Beauty? The girl from the cover cannot be called - not canonical proportions. But, damn it, how caresses! In a drunk dress of red wine, whose cutouts are mysterious, this car causes a splash of hormones. Unfinished radiators in the front bumper, the mysterious darkness of the air intakes in the rear wings - the motor in the middle! - And the attachment raging spoiler ...

Does not spoil the impression even the lightweight merchant body, which is actually a three-door hatchbeck: the rear trunk lid rises together with glass.

When "Cayman S" wakes up with a turn of the ignition key, the place which, of course, to the left of the steering column, the morning yawn awakens a shiver. The atmospheric opposite "six" volume of 3.5 liters is ready to give you all 325 forces with a superior 7400 rpm and cover the torque wave from 4500 to 5800 rpm. The wave takes up to 370 N · m.

I repent, I had intrigues with no less fast friends. For example, an expressive chime "Audi-S3", the 300-strong breath of which supports the turbocharger, can argue with "Porsche" on the spinning distance. But that ecstasy, when "Cayman S" goes in screaming on the limit revolutions, it is not able to give.

Compare incomparable? Why not! We take on the "Smolensk Ring" coupe Porsche Cayman S and Porsche Macan Turbo crossover. With all his practicality, "Makan Turbo" will not hurry on the road. But "Cayman S" is emotionally.

"Porsche" touches for the soul. Magnificent wealth, responsive, but not frightening with its sharpness of the reaction to the turns of the steering wheel. Central Action Layout I. rear drive Allow it to spin around the vertical axis, as a dancer from the show "Lido" around the pole. When you at the limit, fill it into turn, she at first hemmane resists. Then, if you slightly reset the speed, smoothly wizes the feed. You pick up a playful skid of a traction and lead the lover in strong arms until both of the strength ends - and you who are intimidated by happiness, go to the finish line.

It's not boring with her - it can be different. Still, with such genes and education! At its shoulders, Optional "Sport Krono", in memory of which the elegant chronometer remains on the central console. With such a package, my red "ESKA" is able to clamp and relax the PASM suspension shock absorbers, responsive and louder responds to the gas pedal in the Sport Plus mode, allows you to start with increased revolutions and highly twisted with instantaneous shifts. If you do not suck and in addition to the self-locking differential, give it a PTV thrust vector control system, which in the turns to slow down the inner wheel, then these cute toys will allow you to feel, with what passion the lady of the heart is screwed into turn.

Compare incomparable? Why not! We take on the "Smolensk Ring" coupe Porsche Cayman S and Porsche Macan Turbo crossover. With all his practicality, "Makan Turbo" will not hurry on the road. But "Cayman S" is emotionally.

You can choose a safe relationship, leaving the PSM stabilization system to dorm in sports mode, but very soon still wants to reset the boots and become even closer. Long "Cayman S" will not stubborn: hold the button for a couple of seconds - and you will stay with it alone. And then, not wanting, I did it hurts ...

The protracted, easily controlled sliding in the running arc ended with a sharp "whip". I did not even have time to flick! In a moment she changed the pose, and before his eyes the concrete base of the judicial post was grew. I tried to calm her with the steering wheel and gas, and I even managed to save frightened face from the blow, but ... take off on the hill, landing on the stomach with aerodynamic panels, and we are both mutton. "Porsche" - from rigid contact, and me - from bitterness losses. The chill appeared half a year ago in relations now and can grow into an ice wall at all.

Maybe this beauty possessed jealousy? After all, in a romantic trip to the Smolensk Ring, we took another girlfriend - "Makan Turbo." This is not so slight and only 0.1 with faster in acceleration to hundreds. True, earlier exhaled - the maximum speed of 266 km / h against 281 km / h in the coupe.

"Maka" - a bird of higher flight. I am not about clearance, but about an adult character: 400 forces and 550 N · m. On the full throttle, the dynamics, of course, is a plane - the numbers in the Digital Speedometer window do not sleep with each other. But it is possible to penetrate the tempo only by selecting the Sport mode. Then cleaned the throat, the clutches are closed faster in the box and shock absorbers ... But still the pneumatic suspension "Makana" remains comfortable even on bad roadsAnd the hoarritis in his voice is not annoying the rumor. If you have grown madness of youth, then this is your pair.

And the passion, which gave way to "Cayman S" on the road, should not wait. Mass under two tons and universal tires are not the most exciting cocktail. After the first rapid circle, tire pressure is growing and "Makan Turbo" slighters the front axle stronger. In slow studs, all-wheel drive transmission with a multid-wide clutch, which does not abuse the connection of the front, also not a substring: to trust the "Porsche" with a bullshit. And in the running arcs at speed for a hundred, it turns out that the thrust of the too much does not happen much: even when the tachometer arrow does not come out of the moment zone, you can completely open gas - without sharp trajectory deviations "Makan" will continue overclocking. Where is the passion, fire, pressure? In the soul, nothing rises ...

So the real reasons for jealousy at the lady in a red dress was not. They both worry, but at the same time do not look at each other - as children from different marriages. Heredity gives itself to know, so even in the robes of the crossover "Porsche" quite comfortable on the road. Joke Lee, fly the circle of the Smolensk Ring in 1 minute 49.3 seconds. But "Cayman", no matter how cool, faster - almost 3.5 seconds! And all these are playing, without persuasion, with the hunt.

Therefore, in our delays, my wines are solely mine. Cute "Cayman", I am too fascinated by your immediacy.

Forgive me, Porsche.

Compare incomparable? Why not! With all his practicality, "Makan Turbo" will not hurry on the road. "Cayman S" is not so faster than "Makan", as emotionally.

Vadim Nikishev

Tigrinet

"Porsche Makan" just goes to our roads. And they, as you know, make special requirements for cars - in many ways precisely because Porsche crossovers are selling more than more than 911 sports cars, "Baster" and "Cayman". With the advent of Makana, this passion will only increase.

Firstly, 340-strong "makan s" is relatively available: prices start from 2,550,000 rubles, and for the "Turbo version" is asked for at least 3,690,000 rubles. For comparison: Common-SQ5 (354 hp) costs 2,730,000 rubles, and for the initial 300-strong "Kayen" will have to give at least 3,208,000 rubles.

Secondly, "Makan" is better than many crossovers combines practicality and sportiness. It is wide enough (without a small 2 meter) so that with a length of 4.7 meters it is not close. He has decent ground clearancewhich in the upper position of the pneumatic suspension reaches 230 mm. The "turbo" version, as we found out, wipes on the track most of the serial hot hatch. As our readers remember, it almost managed to do both "Kayen GTS", but "Macan Turbo" and easier, and more powerful.

It also plays on hand and under normal operating conditions. To the smoothness of the stroke does not complain - even on optional 21-inch wheels (137,000 rubles, by the way!) Test "makan" is not something that does not exacerbate the soul, but as if smoothes the road fabric. The noble drill of the motor disrupts silence in the cabin only when the acceleration is cheerful, and at high speed, only aerodynamic noise in the mirror area is slightly reminded of itself.

Thirdly, I can talk about the salon or a clock or not to say anything. Those who went to "Porsche" instantly remember that the ignition key here is left, the gas pedal is the floor, the climate control buttons are not vertical, but on the ground part of the console. The rest for addiction will need from the strength of the day. The test car equipped the options in the amount of more than a million rubles, it's neither hot from them, others are useful - but they all have, let's say, in proportion to the status and price "Porsche". How are you central caps alloy wheels 7 705 rubles per kit? It is worth more a roof with a panoramic view, Ventilation of the front seats is a guide. Instead of a glass roof, for example, I would take the same amount adaptive cruise control: I consider the option convenient and useful. But control over the position of the car within the strip, when "Makan" himself blows up, having hitting the markup line, left a dual impression. On the one hand, if distracted - the system can save from departure to configured stripe. But feel like the steering wheel resists every time you drive around irregularities, does not give pleasure.

Compare incomparable? Why not! Take on the "Smolensk Ring" coupe Porsche Cayman S and crossover Porsche Macan Turbo. With all his practicality, "Makan Turbo" will not hurry on the road. But "Cayman S" is emotionally.

People, you are here all sawdusts. What are you? Learn to listen to each other at least a little! Igor clearly and clearly said that he catches Cayef Cayf, and no longer added here. Yes, there are multi-milk more convenient, faster, cheaper, passable - But for me, for example, this nafig is not necessary, in order to knead the dirt there is a UAZ. I can say that this is the fastest or most convenient car from those on which I traveled. But I received great pleasure It is like a driver. Yes, in Porsche annoying a high door and lack of a retractable cushion under the knees a la BMW Sport, and if you wish, you can find a dozen drawbacks right immediately by the steering wheel. But if you at least once after the wheel of such a car All the remaining life to perceive full-size cars as a barge, and jeepers - as tractor drives. And I also liked the fuel consumption. With not the most calm ride manner, I got about 12 liters per 100 km (I remember because I could not find a refueling for a long time :) Personally, the Baster reminded my old MX5 MAZD, but only with a powerful engine. Such a car should be driven in the mountains or in the desert, where you can drive from the heart and enjoy the full control under the scheduling of rubber in turns. This is the perfect toy for the track or racing track. In general, from my point of view, the mass of the machine, its length and controllability are more. ELISE is a machine of one category, although different prices and energy transportes. They give similar sensations from driving. For those who like to compare the numbers - pay attention to the SKID PAD, that is, what side acceleration The car is withstanding until removal from the route. Together with the length of the machine, rapting and steering, it approximately determines its maneuverability and stability in turns. So you are easy to distinguish the sport sedans (0.7-0.90g) from pure sports cars (0.92 - 1.02g). Let's list, now I drive 650i, but with the same with the Caiman dynamics of overclocking, this machine is much heavier and slalom on not important signs of class than Power and especially price. Therefore, for me Cayman, Honda S2000, Lotuy goes much slower. Communicably, these two cars are designed for different purposes and therefore are in different classes Initially, even before comparing prices. Let's speaking, if Igor is lucky with the service in Kiev, Cayman can also have a pretty reliable car. At least, passenger porsche were traditionally simple and reliable. We say goodbye and wish everyone to buy beautiful cars. Life is short and beautiful, it is not necessary to do too practical.

German concern "Porsche" in 2016 on auto Salon In Beijing introduced an updated version of the sports Porsche 718 Cayman. He is most affordable car This model. The name is taken from the classic racing "Porsche" 718. According to the manufacturer's assurances, the body of a sports car was completely created from the details of the new sample. To date, there are several modifications of the model "Cayman".

As a basis for creating a car, manufacturers took Roadster - Porsche Boxster. Many young motorists dream of such a car created according to German traditions. Let's get acquainted with the model closer.

Appearance

At first glance, differences from the previous generation are insignificant. The front of the car was substantial change. The lower air intakes have become more expressive. In the center of the lower part of the bumper, a wide small-satellite difflector was made, and at the edges, small holes with a large grid.

The fact that the machine belongs to the class of premium sports cars, can be found in the presence of integrated four-point head lights, in the classic style of Porsche Cayman.

Feed optics also changed outwardly a bit. She acquired small spoilers at the top.

The body of the car body is moving into bloated rear wings having large air intakes. Such a look provides similarity with models of the middle of the twentieth century. Low profile 19-inch rubber, in which stylish alloy discs are shoved, provides excellent grip with a road surface. The wings of the car swollen a little, compared with previous versions of the bodies.

The image of a sports coupe complements the roof of the rounded shape, smoothly turning into a sloping rear glasswhich completes the original diffuser. It is worth noting and superbly suitable for the appearance of the car side mirrors on the legs.

Due to the fact that the car refers to the sport class, the machine is squat and looks out on the surface of the road canvase.

Interior of the German car

The manufacturer has installed a multifunctional three-spoke steering wheel on a sports compartment compartment of Porsche Cayman. At the top dashboard Stylish climate control installation holes are located. The driver in front of him sees the traditional three devices and a small display of the side computer, which displays all the necessary information on the way.

The center of the front console has a monitor of various functional options, as well as a multimedia system. Under the screen is the climate control panel, which is very convenient in circulation, and will not distract the driver from driving.

The bucket seats, and their car two, are created exclusively for aggressive driving, so you do not have to talk about comfort in long trips.

German manufacturer is ready for an additional fee to install a modern advanced audio system Sound Package Plus in Porsche Cayman. It includes more than a dozen speakers whose sound on the highest level. Another addition will be the module voice control The options of the car in different languages, naturally, also for a fee.

Due to the central location of the Porsche Cayman motor has two luggage compartments. The amounts of them are: in front - 150 liters, rear - 175 liters.

High-speed indicators

The Porsche Cayman characteristics are not particularly standing out among classmates. The car has a 2-liter engine with a capacity of 300 horsepower, which gives 380 Nm of torque. The motor with direct injection of fuel and the turbocharger allows you to overclock the sports car to the maximum 275 kilometers per hour. Thanks to the 6-speed mechanical transmission, the mark of 100 km / h two-door coupe overcomes in 5.1 seconds. Robotic box Changes with this segment by 0.2 seconds faster, thanks to the Sport Chrono package. On the version of Porsche 718 Cayman S manufacturer installed a more powerful 2.5 liter engine, which gives the maximum 350 horsepower.

In a mixed cycle, the car consumes up to 7.4 liters of fuel, agree, an impressive indicator.

Stern moral

All modifications of Caiman are built on the rear-wheel drive platform Porsche Boxster with independent suspension. Rear installed depreciation racks with transverse stabilizers. The buyer is available as the PASM chassis option with a reduced road lumen.

Wheels of the sports car are equipped with ventilated brake discs and 4 piston aluminum calipers. As the sports car relies, the width of the wheels in front and the back of different, 299 mm and 330 mm, respectively, improved security systems.

Opinion lucky

The owners of the car unanimously argue that the behavior of the coupe on the road is daring and aggressive. As many owners say, "Cayman" is an excellent alternative to 911 Porsche. They have almost the same salons, the appearance is very similar, the difference is only in technical equipment. Unlike "Porsche" 718, in 911, a more powerful engine and suspension is tougher. Car for pleasure as a toy for big children.

Reviews of Stutgart Sport car are extremely positive, many of the minuses note the rapid sweating of driving. It happens because of the constant control of the behavior of the car, which wants to go to the skid.

Charged German

Along with the usual version of "Porsche" produces an improved version of the Alligator - Porsche Cayman GT4. This monster is equipped with a six-cylinder engine with a volume of 3.8 liters, which develops the maximum 385 "horses". Acceleration until "hundreds" takes only 4.4 seconds. Due to electronics limitations, limit speed It is 295 km / h.

This modification is created exclusively for track driving at high speeds. Moving around the city does not rush difficult, roar exhaust pipes Podes: "Give the pedal to the floor!". Hard control and the wonderful responsiveness of the steering wheel puts the point over the purpose of the German "beast".

In Russia, sports coupe costs about 4,500,000 rubles. For this amount you will receive a basic version with leather seats, a fire extinguisher and a six-point seat belt, as in racing sports cars.

The name of the Cayman model is taken, based on the fact that on the day of receipt of the car, the company took one of the varieties of Alligator - Cayman on the day.

In 2009, the Concern Porsche was sued with the American shoe firm Crocs. The essence of the claim was that "the shoes" used the name of the shoe model, like the "Porsche" version. The decision of the court issued a resolution in favor german concern.

In 2013, during the endurance races, Porsche Cayman won all places on the pedestal. The victory at the competition was the 75th all time of participation in races.

The car, according to experts, took the seventh place among the least sold cars.

Security car

"Cayman" did not pass crash tests, so you can judge the security of the coupe by the presence of protection equipment. First, it is belts and airbags that are located from the front and from the side. Secondly, advanced stability systems allow you to control the condition of the car movement. Additional Airbegi protect the heads sitting during cool turns.

Market in Russia

In our country, the cost of Porsche Cayman originates from the mark of 3,620,000 rubles for a car with a basic "filling" and a mechanical transmission. For the box "Avtomat" will have to supplement 200,000 more.

IN standard complete set Includes:

• 18-inch alloy wheels;
• aBS, ASR, ABD, MSR systems;
• audio system with eight speakers;
• bixenon, as a head optics;

As a supplement, you can select discs up to 20 inches, parking sensors, adaptive suspension, Built-in navigator. Also, the buyer has selection of coloring and interior trim materials.

Porsche Cayman is the cheapest model of the German concern. As a result of this fact, he does not have competitors. In terms of prestigidity and high-speed qualities, the car has very few rivals. Creations of Porsche will always be welcome among motorists. Power and dynamics are hidden behind unsurpassed and light body lines. The traditional optics of a drop-shaped form will not leave anyone indifferent in front of the car.

We dare to admit that Ferdinand Porsche created a truly magnificent and impeccable company producing excellent vehicles.

Porsche Cayman on russian roads (Especially somewhere in the outback) - the guest is not frequent. His appearance causes participants road An integer gamut of emotions - from envy (white or black) to admiration. In any case, Cayman - not that carwhich is able to remain unnoticed in the overall stream.

Despite the fact that Kaiman appeared to the widespread public with a wide public in May 2005 on the Frankfurt Motor Show, call this model the absolute novelty would not be quite right because it is a kind of logical continuation model RowReleased since 1996, Rostcher Porsche Boxster, only in the body of the coupe. Although Porsche Cayman is considered a sports compartment with rear-wheel drive wheels, it would be better to call it three-door hatchback.

The car received its name due to alternative spelling the name of the reptiles allegators family (Caiman) and is a kind of commodity sign of the company, which the latter considers his property. And even won the court from the manufacturer of shoes Crocs, trying to produce shoes with the same name as Porsche products.

From his progenitor, Cayman inherited not only a similar line power aggregates, but also the overall layout and design of the front and rear suspension. During its existence, Porsche Cayman already i managed to live two generations. The second generation has existed since 2012 to the Russian market, cars come in one of three packages: Cayman, Cayman S and Cayman GTS.

Exterior and interior

Appearance Cayman is a reminder racing heritage Porsche 60-70s of the last century. Protruding wings and expressive headlights, front bumper, in which large air intakes are located, squat silhouette with a long wheelbase and big wheels - All this only emphasizes the power and swiftness of the car.

Complement the picture shifted forward windshield, falling roof line and narrow side glass. Rear has anti-cycle, automatically advanced at a speed of 120 km / h. When the anticolored is omitted, its spoiler edge is the original LED rear lights.

To assess the interior of the car do not necessarily possess special knowledge in the field of design. Here everything is subordinate to one goal - sport and comfortable riding. The developers have made every effort to integrate the "man-car" system as much as possible. This is the inclined central console, providing minimal movements of the hand between the steering wheel and the gearbox lever, and the location of controls, and intuitively understandable control of the on-board computer, and an informative dashboard.

In the interior decoration are used only high quality materials, harmoniously fitted in a stylish interior design: silver decorative elements of the front panel and the center console, leather inserts in the door handles, rim of the steering wheel and the gear shift handle, the lid of the broadcase compartment, etc. The salon does not limit the freedom of movements inside it, while ensuring excellent review, despite the fact that the seats are installed quite low.

Features of the layout

The layout of the car is quite original. It is made on the rear medium-engine scheme. Leaders are rear wheels. Located literally behind the driver six-cylinder opposite engine Moves the center of gravity to almost the middle of the car, distributing evenly its mass between the front and rear axles. In addition, the center of gravity is quite low, which makes the car more stable, especially on turns. Another advantage of such a layout is that Caiman has two, truth small (150 and 130 l), trunk.

As force aggregates are used gasoline engines 2.7 l (275 hp) and 3.4 liters (325 and 340 hp) that work parabe with 6 or 7-speed (Porsche Doppelkupplung) MCPP. There are modifications with automatic transmission. Fuel consumption depends on the modification and is: in urban mode 10.9-12.7, when moving on the highway 6.2 -7.1 and with a mixed mode, 7.9-9.0 liters per 100 kilometers.

As in most serial cars, the front suspension Cayman consists of depreciation racks having a special location of longitudinal and transverse levers providing accurate installation wheels. With a high transverse acceleration, an additional spring enters into operation, minimizing the roll angle. The rear wheels are located on two transverse levers sent by transverse traction, longitudinal levers and at amortized racks.

Caiman steering is performed by electromechanical. Such a scheme provides a change in the transfer ratio, depending on the driving conditions, which not only facilitates the driver's work, but also simplifies maintenance.

Safety

Despite the fact that Cayman did not officially participate in European (Euroncap), either in American (IIHS, NHTSA) crash tests, the degree of succession of the driver and passenger can be judged even by the standard set of security. It is enough to mention that cars from Porsche in 2010 were recognized as the most reliable in the world.

Take at least the same airbags. On Cayman is not just an Airbag. Depending on the type of impact (front or space-front) and its gravity cushion disclosure occurs in two steps. The first step is triggered at relatively "light" collisions, which allows to reduce the load on those in the cabin. With more serious collisions, the second stage is triggered. For timely response, sensors located in the center panel and the headlight area are responsible.

To protect against lateral collisions, there are pillows built into the sidewalls of seats that protect the chest. In addition, in the door panels there are pillows protecting heads. Supplement the means of passive safety bars from high-strength steel, located in the doorway.

Per active security Replies special development PSM. Porsche Stability Management). Its task is to maintain the resistance of the car throughout the operational range, especially at the limit dynamic modes. Based on the data from sensors that follow the speed and direction of movement, vertical and transverse acceleration, the actual direction of movement is calculated. In case of deviation from the calculated values, it is discharged by the corresponding wheels, stabilizing the car. This system can be disabled if necessary.

Anti-lock system (ABS) and automatic brake control and differential control system (ABD) start permanently included. Also on Cayman there is an anti-slip system (ASR).

conclusions

As some shortcomings (the word "disadvantage" somehow does not fit into the car worth more than 2 million rubles.) You can mark a multiple unusual transmission algorithm for us from the buttons on the steering wheel. In addition, the mechanics is a great probability of accidental inclusion rear transmission. Also, due to the characteristics of the location of the engine, the cabin marks Increased noise From his work.

But thanks to its extraordinary appearance, Cayman, among domestic automotive thieves, special i do not use popularity. For example, in 2012 in the Russian capital there was not a single alligator.

In a word, Porsche Cayman is less suitable for the role family car. It is simply created for the drive, for lovers to give will with emotions, for lovers of aggressive driving style.

The cost of the car from official dealers begins with a mark in 2 643 000 rub For Cayman, 3 233 000 rub For Cayman S and 3 720 000 rub For Cayman GTS.

Little crocodile.

So, I sold my smart brabus and struck ... it hurts a good machine. But the mileage was already approaching 70,000, and the turbine is not eternal there, and winter on the nose, cold in the smart. Doors are plastic. And something jerked me ...

For Porsche products, I have always treated with some skepticism and distrust. Singing expensive and unknown animal. Yes, today Kayenov and Panamer divorced as dirt. And it turned out even more from this brand. Well, does not fit in my head like an SUV can be sports?! Dirt there is impassable, off-road, there are all sorts of rustic fields ... What is all this attitude to the Porsche sports philosophy I do not understand .. I do not understand and Panamera. S-class Mercedes with a face and ass from 911 or 4-door 911 :) is also not clear. Sport and representative sedan, sport and off-road - some kind of edible porridge. In short, all these cars have never caused anything other than bewilderment. Who buys them understandable. For what - no. Probably when you want from the car and practicality and Ponta from Porsche at the same time.

Whether the Classic Case is 911. But the price ... Cosmos. However, as it turned out, in 2006, Porsche made the model Cayman. Which was 2 times cheaper, while he was controlled better than 911 and, in the opinion of the majority of owners and experts, was much more driven and delivered more fans than all previous models 911. It also approached more and as an everyday year-round operation.

I looked at a lot of reviews and test drives of Cayman on YouTube. In which I heard too often that Porsche Cayman is best car which the authors of video reviews have ever managed or what if it were possible to buy one (last) car and for the rest of my life would buy Cayman, etc. And this was told people who were tested by the whole top, High End who was only produced to the market all the top brands. In short, I bought :)

The secret of Cayman lies in its non-standard layout. Motor is not in front and not from behind. It is located in the middle in the cabin. :)

First the engine, then the gearbox.

Due to what is achieved by almost the perfect wave over the axes close to 50 to 50. The result becomes excellent handling. The feeling that he simply turns at any speed and in any turns.

Cayman - the car is still relatively rare. Good sentence can be waited long. I wanted a car not older than 2008, with a minimum mileage bought from an authorized dealer in the Russian Federation, with a motor up to 250 hp and on a machine. At the same time in the color that would like. And this was already found at 1500 km from the house. The seller immediately moved by 15% in value. Further suitcase, station, urals ..

I drove home for 19 hours of which 2 hours in the snow on the ears, 11 hours in the rain.

Price

While I waited for the seller, I went to the salon Nissan. I was convinced that I bought Porsche with a mileage of 35,000 km at a price Nissan Qashqai. With automatic transmission in the middle configuration (without skin) with a mileage of 0 km.

Initially, this kaiman cost the owner of 139,000 dollars in 2008. To the current moment he lost in the price of almost 85% of its initial cost. In this case, without losing in appearance and general condition and 15%.

Engine

245 hp is the weakest of the motors in the entire Porsche line. There is more Cayman S - 295 hp Then, in 2009 there was a small restyling and power of the smallest motor grew to 265 hp. From 2013, Caymans went in the new 981th body with motors 275, 325 and 340 hp

New Cayman look like:

Divine! Prices are murderer. :)

I did not want some kind of heavy duty motor just because in Moscow I do not see the medium for its habitat. I looked after the car more for everyday operation and therefore the presence of automatic transmission, the flow rate of about 15 liters of the 98th in the city and the tax of 17,000 p (against about 60,000 rubles for 295-strong Cayman S) a year was quite suitable for me. I want to note that the weight of the car is only 1350 kg, the length is 4.35 m, and the height is only 1.3 m (on the elbow). Personally, I have enough 245 hp for eyes. I do not get the pleasure of sharp starts from the place, and acceleration for 6.1 seconds to 100 km. It is quite suitable.

Motor is not a turbochable and opposite. Singing classic genre. Despite the fact that it is in the cabin itself the motor from the salon is not heard. Only exhaust is heard. By the way, in this car there is an optional PSE (Porsche Sport Exhaust) - a sports exhaust that is activated by pressing the key. Want to go to relative silence - please. Want to growl on the whole Ivanovo - press the key, some flaps in the silencers will open and the volume of the exhaust with a tonality will change significantly. The sound is the carrier, especially after 4000 revolutions. :)

Motors are reliable as a whole. However, there is one problem with all some kind - allegedly from not high-quality Russian gasoline, the cylinders are listed. The price of turnkey repair is only 400K rubles. :) No one is insured against this and nothing affects anything: neither oil, nor a driving manner neither its type of engine. In short, as God will send.

However, the plant makes it possible to stand up for extended warranty. Which costs about 60,000 rubles per year. The following conditions must be performed.

• Be the owner of at least 3 months
• Make a big that (40,000 thousand rubles) at the dealer
• Take a diagnosis of 111 points (11 000 rubles) at the dealer and eliminate the comments.
• The car is officially official through representation.
• The car is not over 9 years old and mileage no more than 200,000 km.

The average consumption on the highway for 1500 km amounted to 9.7 liters of the 98th. The average speed is 100 km per hour.

Salon

The salon is certainly not big, but comfortable. To the landing used in 2 hours permanently playing with the seat settings. Then saved the settings in memory. Dark salon, brown. The black did not want, as the space narrows, and the beige very marky. Brown looks very noble and expensive. Strit, Punching Seats, Bose Music 10 Columns, Heated, Bixenon, Rain Sensor, Rear Parktronic. In a word, nothing superfluous. Only the most needed. And this is very good. Still, this is not a representative sedan. Some asceticism here only adds charm. Good keeps warm in the cabin. Probably because the engine is there. W221 cools simply before the eyes.

10 columns + amplifier + active Bose subwoofer fit in a small cabin.

During the run, it was not convenient to sleep home, as the seats do not deviate back even 40 degrees. Nowhere. Engine.))

In the poles, I always strained the quality of the color of the plastic. I myself saw how paint simply regains with the details and buttons of Kayennes and other Caymans. Gives some kind of Chinese. But in my so far paint got out only near the ignition castle. Apparently the fact that there rubbed the key chain. They say, there are no such cars in new machines.

Trunk.

There are two of them! Front is huge. Sitting does not fit a big man, behind either not small + the ability to install grids and put something on the engine. Like that:

The dealer can even buy full set Metal boxes of the desired size at the price of gold bars are equivalent to the mass of these boxes :)

Suspension

All the way I caught myself thinking that the suspension was very energy-intensive. In Mercedes somehow shakes smoothly on irregularities. And here the suspension works deaf and extremely comfortable. With the start to compare, of course stupid, but it was much tougher there. There often shock absorbers rested in their limiters with a characteristic blow on quite innocuous joints, and then she is completely different - very pleasant and comfortable for sensations.

It looks so front:

And somehow so rear:

The control of Caymans is complex legends. It is considered reference due to the entire same mid-door layout. I heard that on the famous highway in Nuremberg, less powerful and cheaper Cayman arrived for 2 seconds faster than his older brother 911 of the same year. The car does not roll and not swing. It seems that it can turn 90 degrees at any speed))

Road clearance 11 or 12 cm. Many this or little judge for yourself. According to the snowdrifts, of course you do not climb .. how to behave in the winter will tell. Although I do not plan to actively exploit.

Appearance.

Well, there is taste and color. On the good wheels The car looks very nice. People fit photographed.

Aerodynamics, too, at the height:

The rear is a spoiler, which automatically extends at a speed of 120 km per hour and is removed back at 80. In the instructions on this is a funny record:

That is, without it. Akhtung and all that :)

Thank you all for your attention!
