Used 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman Coupe Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman is a two-seat coupe available in Cayman and Cayman S trim levels. (The 718 Boxster is the convertible version and reviewed separately.) The Cayman has a turbocharged 2.0-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine (a flat-four) good for 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman S has a turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four good for 350 hp and 309 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard and a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission (Porsche's PDK) is optional.
Which 718 Cayman trim does Edmunds recommend?
Based on power output alone, the base Cayman's engine is more than sufficient. Some would even call its power abundant. The problem is that it just doesn't provide the audible thrill you expect from a sports car these days. The 2.5-liter Cayman S sounds better, so it gets the nod here. It is more expensive, but aren't thrills the main reason you're considering one of these in the first place?
