What the record shows

The 2006 Porsche Cayman S is a two-seater, and the 2nd model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2005 to 2020.

The EPA rated two configurations: a single 3.4-litre six-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on premium gasoline.

Combined fuel economy is 21 mpg.

The federal record holds 11 owner complaints and 348 service bulletins for it.

Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.

Reading this report

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
