2014 Porsche Cayman

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 Cayman.

Transmission Automatic (AM-S7)

The 2014 Porsche Cayman comes specified with a seven-speed automated manual (AM-S7) automatic and EPA fuel-economy ratings of 22 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. Across the 2007–2024 Cayman complaint record, 2014 registers the highest owner-reported complaint count at seven, against a low of one for 2012, with the fuel/propulsion system identified as the top complaint area and four recalls on file. That profile makes the 2014 model the statistical peak for reported problems in this dataset, so propulsion-system and recall history should be treated as priority items when assessing a used example.

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 2014 model year shows a noticeable increase in field actions compared with the immediately preceding year, rising from 1 complaint and 1 recall in 2012 to 7 complaints and 4 recalls in 2014. Following 2014, complaints eased to 4 in 2015 before climbing again to 7 in 2016, while recalls declined to 2 in 2015 and 1 in 2016. Earlier years from 2007 through 2011 recorded zero recalls and complaint counts between 2 and 5, indicating a period of relatively few reported issues. Later years such as 2022 and 2024 returned to low complaint numbers and minimal recalls, suggesting improved reliability after the 2014‑2016 window. Because the data do not specify the root causes for the elevated complaints and recalls in 2014, the higher figures imply greater potential service exposure, making 2014 a less attractive purchase unless the price adequately reflects that risk.
