A wonderfully performing two-seater, with an excellent sound system by Bose. Has superior handling, particularly at speed, and acceleration above sixty miles-per-hour is phenomenal. The engine can be a bit loud during acceleration, but the sound is terrific.

My last car, again?

My first Porsche was a 2005 911S Cabriolet. Bought it new off the lot, owned it for 5.5 years, great car, but last year was painful with out of warranty repairs. Sold it and went 2 years Porsche-less before ordering a 2014 Cayman S. Took delivery in May, 2013, and the bond was immediate. Not quite as quick as the 911 in a straight line, everything else was an improvement. Mid engine handling and balance was superb. Thought I was going to keep it until wheels fell off - its or mine. The 718 switch to 4 cylinders further added to my commitment to the 6 cylinder 981 model. Then…..the Cayman GTS 4.0. I had been previously tempted by both the 981 and 718 GT4 to trade up, but the track focused nature was holding me back. In 8 tears I put 50k miles on the Cayman S with 60% tread remaining on my second set of Michelin Pilots. Same driving would have required 4-5 sets of the sticky Michelin Cups on the GT4 at $2k+ a set. Not a deal breaker but a consideration and an obligation to at least take it to the track a couple of times a year. The 718 GTS 4.0 was perfect alternative for me. Same engine as GT4, better ride on public roads, and all the car i would need to enjoy an occasional track event. I go with 6-speed manual always, for engagement and enjoyment. I went with LWB (carbon fiber) seats that are fantastic and will encourage me to stay in shape. Everything else is perfect, with slight to significant improvements over my 2014 Cayman S. And the GTS is significantly quicker than my former 911S. This may just be my last sports car. Or at least one I won’t trade if I get another. The 911 has grown into a mini-Panamera GT car. Phenomenal performance but without the intimacy and visceral feel of the smaller Cayman. The Cayman remains analog in a good way, the 911 went a step too digital with the 992 for my tastes.

Cayman fun

Ok, the base 718Cayman isn't the fastest little thing out there, but it isn't meant to be. Sure you can spend upward $100k for the GTS, but really, how many need that much power? If you are tracking, sure..,.but otherwise the base will put a smile 😊 on your face every time. Handling, steering, braking, and killer great looks, yes, for almost all, you are good to go. I bought the 2022 718 base with no regrets, driving the mountain roads of Colorado, awesome!

Big step up for me car-wise. Considered a CPO but based on used car prices, it actually only came out to be a few thousand more to build/buy new. This was a Covid-life crisis purchase for me… and the teenager in me who loved wringing out Honda 5-speed Civics, is in heaven. Thank you Porsche for still making these available. I can’t say anything else that the 2 decades of Car & Driver 10 Best hadn’t already said. It’s a sublime sexy beast, and I have a base model with no performance upgrades. My wife, who understands my car disease but has never cared for anything I’ve owned… even she can’t deny a smile and laugh when we’re in the thing. I am tall at 6’4 and while the cabin totally fits me, easily, the ingress and egress is obviously eventful, haha. I think my desire to not scuff the sills, doors, and/or rub the bolsters makes it even more stressful of a experience. I’m still trying to find that sweet spot comfort setting (manual sports seats plus) but really, the cabin is a pure joy to be in. This is my daily driver, at least for a couple years when we upgrade my wife’s car, then it may become a 2-3x/week driver. So far getting 19-20 mpg in city traffic with sport mode and exhaust on. The only premiums I checked were folding mirrors, ventilated seats, and sports plus seats. The standard 18-inch wheels just give it that old school roadster look… and the drive, while certainly sporty, is actually great, biggest win is it’s wife-approved. I love it and with only 350 miles into ownership, I already hope to be a P-car guy for the rest of my life.
