Used 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman Consumer Reviews
Exceptional Fun Car
We traded a Porsche Hybrid Panamera for a Porsche Cayman S ... what a joy this new car is to drive. EV might be the future but for right now, if you want to 'drive' the Cayman S offers a lot as a daily driver. Wish we traded earlier! (Don't get me wrong the Hybrid Panamera was great while waiting in the car during COVID, but battery portion does have growing pains as we found out).

But, I still prefer my NC Miata Club (6M)
Pure theater and sense of occasion, exactly what I’d expect from a $100K+ sports car (bought my last dream car too, a 2.2 S2K). Impractical and unusable as a daily driver. Car is in desperate need of a lift kit. I can barely tolerate it as a 3rd car. I have as much, and carefree fun canyon carving in my bone stock NC Miata. But the Mazda 4 banger can’t compete w that flat 6 sound! Knew GTS 4.0 was a better fit for me, but at the end I chose the GT4 for potential appreciation, when Boxster/Cayman twins go electric. Glad I did, because 1st year GTS 4.0 was immediately recalled for engine replacement. At least I bought before it was discounted, and under MSRP early 2021. RS is out of reach with markup. If I only have 1 Porsche, I want it to be two door n manual, and of course, that flat 6 (NA) soundtrack. All the premium audio I need! Though gf’s 987 Boxster sounds better, even w/o the sports exhaust. Blame EU for tightening up emissions reg. And yes, Porsche comes with Porsche maintenance costs.
