PistonHeads Porsche 718 Cayman S Review
|
Anybody seen lava orange in person? is the color in the video accurate?
|
It's pretty accurate, but you have to see LO in person to know whether it's right for you. Some love it, some hate it. I think it looks great with black wheels, don't really care for the grey wheels with it.

If Porsche is successful selling a lot of 4 cyl turbo mid engine cars for 70K they are going to get lots of competition. Looks like the Cayman is still a great car from that review. I would not kick it out of the garage.

I just test drove a 718 Boxster S and loved it! So much I put a deposit down for a 718 Cayman S! I'm coming from a BMW M3 mine has the V8 engine so the sound is the only thing I don't really agree with but its so nimble and fast!

Why is it that a turbo 911 has always been a high watermark car, yet when they build a mini carrera turbo we all poo-poo it? If we look at it that way... And at half the price, perhaps it's not a bad thing? Aren't there plenty of 4 cyl turbo rally cars we would all love to drive? But no, I love NA!
|
I think most people's complain is the sound and engine size. Saying it's a ~80k Subaru WRX. But those are the people that haven't driven one yet!
|
Have to give credit where credit is due and this review makes the most compelling arguments I've seen for living with the shortcomings of the 4 cylinder engine. Perhaps when they're clearing out the 2017 inventories at blowout prices it'll be worth another look (or listen).

There are those who believe the 981 deserves no less. |

Porsche of Plano had an unveiling of the 718 Boxster tonight. I thought it looked great. More importantly, the wife liked it. Sounded fine, I thought, although it was an enclosed room. T |
