Porsche Cayman 2006 vs Toyota Auris 2007
| Body: | Coupe | Hatchback | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
| Engine: | 2.7 Petrol | 2.2 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Porsche Cayman) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Toyota Auris) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Power: | 245 HP | 177 HP | |
| Torque: | 273 NM | 400 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 6.1 seconds | 8.1 seconds | |
|
Porsche Cayman is more dynamic to drive. Porsche Cayman engine produces 68 HP more power than Toyota Auris, but torque is 127 NM less than Toyota Auris. Thanks to more power Porsche Cayman reaches 100 km/h speed 2 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 9.3 | 6.2 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 9.9 l/100km | 7.4 l/100km | |
|
The Toyota Auris is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Porsche Cayman consumes 3.1 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Toyota Auris, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Porsche Cayman could require 465 litres more fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Porsche Cayman consumes 2.5 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Toyota Auris. | |||

| Full fuel tank distance: | 680 km in combined cycle | 880 km in combined cycle | |
| 940 km on highway | 1050 km on highway | ||
| 640 km with real consumption | 740 km with real consumption | ||
| Toyota Auris gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Toyota Auris) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Porsche Cayman) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 3 years | 10 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Installed on at least 4 other car models, including Toyota Avensis, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Corolla Verso, Lexus IS | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Auris might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.34 m | 4.22 m | |
| Width: | 1.80 m | 1.76 m | |
| Height: | 1.30 m | 1.52 m | |

Porsche Cayman is larger, but lower. Porsche Cayman is 12 cm longer than the Toyota Auris, 4 cm wider, while the height of Porsche Cayman is 22 cm lower. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 260 litres | 354 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
no data | 761 litres | |

Toyota Auris has more luggage space. Despite its longer length, Porsche Cayman has 94 litres less trunk space than the Toyota Auris. This could mean that the Porsche Cayman uses more space in the cabin, so the driver and passengers could be more spacious and comfortable. | |||
| Turning diameter: | 10.9 meters | 10.4 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Porsche Cayman is 0.5 metres more than that of the Toyota Auris, which means Porsche Cayman can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Power steering: | Hydraulic power steering | Electric power steering | |
| Hydraulic power steering is technologically more complex, louder, increases fuel consumption and requires more servicing. It has the advantages of more power, less strain on the car's electrical system and better feedback (feeling) when steering. | |||
| Gross weight (kg): | 1`620 | 1`920 | |
| Safety: | no data | no data | |
| Quality: | high | high | |
| Toyota Auris has fewer problems. According to annual technical inspection data Porsche Cayman has serious deffects in 10 percent more cases than Toyota Auris, so Toyota Auris quality is probably slightly better | |||
