Dodge Challenger vs. Porsche Cayman Review

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Porsche Cayman and the Dodge Challenger are legitimate sportscars.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Dodge is quite certainly more agile than the Porsche Cayman, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, remember that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Challenger's engine is considerably bigger than the Porsche Cayman's. Remember that bigger engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Dodge Challenger is considerably more powerful than the Porsche Cayman.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Dodge Challenger over the Cayman.

Dimensions
The Dodge Challenger is tremendously more bulky than the Porsche Cayman. The Porsche Cayman's tank is approximately the same size as the Dodge Challenger's, though the Dodge Challenger's is slightly bigger. The Porsche Cayman fits in smaller parking spaces than the Dodge Challenger. The Porsche Cayman's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic than the Dodge Challenger.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Challenger is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the Porsche Cayman. With respect to MSRP, the Porsche Cayman costs tremendously more than the Challenger.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Dodge Challenger isn't quite as generous as the Cayman's.
