Porsche 718 Cayman

With the 718 Cayman, Porsche offers a more affordable sports car with all the driving brilliance of the more expensive and famous 911. It's the cheapest way into a Porsche sports car. While it doesn't have the same iconic shape as the 911, the Cayman's 15 years on Earth mean it's earned its owned famed status. It's not a copy of the 911, so you'll love the design for its individuality. The 718 updates make the Cayman the most attractive it's ever been. It's a two-seater coupé, so it's low, muscular, and sleek with the flyline you'd expect from a mid-mounted engine. The back is wide and powerful and gives a sense of the car's speed and performance. The automatic rear wing is one of the nicest design features on the car. The ride and handling - even for the entry-level 718 Cayman - comes as close to faultless as possible. Considering the starting price point of the Cayman, the engagement and agility are sublime, as is the balance of the car. All Caymans up to the GTS come with 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engines, and the turbo engines have some series kick. 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds and 300hp - this car is fast and reactive off the line. Top speeds of 170mph won't disappoint either. The engines are a little quieter than before but the drive is more exciting and playful, so we'd say it's well worth it. Despite how low the car is, and how powerful, the ride is remarkably smooth. Even on bumpy country roads, the Cayman isn't perturbed, so it really is a sports car that you can enjoy anywhere, anytime. The Cayman is a two-seater that blends a clean design with neat storage tricks to make it as practical as possible. It's easy to customise the navigation and dials, so you can change between navigation, media and computer setup.The option of Apple CarPlay if you don't fancy using Porsche's system. You can opt for the ISOFIX child seat mount. For a parent and teenager or two adults, there's plenty of space for two. There are 425 litres of space split between the front boot and the back boot, so you'll need to pack a few smaller bags rather than one or two big ones. The four-cylinder engines are, on paper, more efficient than the previous six-cylinder engines, but the WLTP figures manage between 31.-4-32.8mpg for the most efficient engines.... Read More

Went to look at this 718 at Porsche 70th anniversary. First looks. Impressive though similar linings to the other sporty Porsche's. Inside is simple yet reachable gadgets and buttons you have. Plus a poach of luxury sports coupe you can expect to see in a Porsche. Take off or pickup was excellent, drive was great in gear shifts, stability, cornering and handling. Only thing is price unless you have a deep pockets to own and maintain it. Overall. It's a great piece of German engineering to have if you want a sporty drive.... Read More
