2007 Porsche Cayman

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 Cayman.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic 5-spd

The 2007 Porsche Cayman is a passenger car built on the Boxster platform with a mid-engine layout, achieving an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 19 city, 26 highway, and 21 combined mpg with its standard 5-speed automatic transmission. During its model history spanning 2007 to 2024, this first model year recorded 4 total owner complaints with zero recalls, placing it neither at the peak of the complaint curve (2014 saw 7 complaints) nor at the lowest point (2012 registered just 1). The top complaint area centered on service brakes, though with only four grievances across the entire production span and no safety recalls, the 2007 Cayman establishes a relatively favorable reliability baseline within the Cayman lineage.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 Cayman opens the federal record with four complaints across four distinct categories — Service Brakes, Structure, and two Engine & Engine Cooling entries — and zero recalls or investigations, a cleaner profile than the 2014–2016 period where complaints rose to seven annually and recalls accumulated (four in 2014 alone). Technical Service Bulletins start at 342 for 2007 and climb steadily to 428 by 2016, suggesting expanding service documentation rather than a defect spike unique to the launch year. The data doesn't specify root causes for any complaint area, and no crash or fire incidents are recorded for 2007. Compared to later model years that attracted formal recall campaigns, the 2007 shows no federal safety actions and a complaint count below the generation's peak. For a buyer prioritizing a year without recall history and with documented but not escalating service bulletins, the 2007 represents a favorable entry point in this generation.
