Porsche Cayman 981 (2nd Generation)

2013–2016 · 981 · coupe

Second-gen Cayman. 2.7L (base) / 3.4L (S) / 3.8L (GT4) naturally aspirated flat-six. The 981 Cayman GT4 (2015-2016) borrowed 911 GT3 suspension components and is widely regarded as the best modern Porsche under $100k. Electric power steering replaced hydraulic — fine in the consensus.

Watch out: MA1 engine is generally durable. Some 981 cars experienced bore scoring on heavily tracked examples — uncommon but worth a borescope on any car with track history. GT4 specifically: verify rear-wheel-bearing service history; some early cars had isolated bearing concerns.
