Porsche is right - there is no substitute

In 2018 I bought an Audi TT RS, which I thought was nearly perfect. That feeling lasted until I drove a high mileage 2012 Cayman R a few days ago. I was very surprised by how superior the driving experience was to my Audi. Two days later I bought a well optioned 2019 base Cayman with PDK, which felt very similar to the old R that I had driven. I bought a base car rather than an S because the performance is outstanding, more than sufficient for my needs, and it was much less expensive. I am delighted with it, and have resolved to never again buy any sports car but a Porsche. Excellence is expected, and always delivered.

UPDATE: Very stable, comfortable, and easy to drive. Still feels like new. No problems. ORIGINAL: Glad I opted for this brand and model. Well made; high quality comfortable to drive for me and my wife; and sufficiently fast. Handles like a slot car on steroids. The PDK transmission is impressive. Unless you run 10,000 mile annually, I would not purchase the maintenance package--not worth the cost.

2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 2dr Coupe (4.0L 6cyl 6M)

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!

911s are great, but Caymans are awesome!...best handling car I've ever owned.
