Reality check 鈥?we'll still be driving gas cars in 2019. tech week in review looks at volvo's big announcement.
Ultimately, the RS5鈥檚 high-tech goodies afford it a party trick or two, but it doesn鈥檛 thrill like the others. It feels more like a roided-up S5 than something inherently different, which is what an RS badge should deliver. If you鈥檙e looking for a well-rounded daily steed, the RS5 is always a nice place to crawl into, especially for longer drives, but you鈥檒l never manage the same focus on your favourite corners or racetrack. So we鈥檝e placed it equal with our next runner-up. If the RS5鈥檚 driving experience stimulates you like sugar, then the M4 CS will send you to caffeine-induced highs. Whatever BMW engineers have done, it鈥檚 worked. The CS transforms the M4. It鈥檚 grippy, friendly, involving and as sharp as a samurai sword. It now wields forced induction as a weapon, rather than a burden, by squeezing more power and noise from its engine, while making it more accessible. Just look at the roll-on performance figures for proof. On the flipside of that, it鈥檚 also the only car in which you鈥檇 suspiciously watch the clouds while driving. And there will be days you leave it in the garage for no other reason than 鈥榥ot feeling up to it鈥?
You will never really tame it, either. Its brilliance exists in a small window that鈥檚 dependent on its Michelin tyres. And while they deliver other-worldly grip, we鈥檇 trade some of that for more accessibility. Beyond that, the CS鈥檚 real problem concerns the rest of the car. Those door cards and centre console pinched from an M4 GTS add more impracticality than weight they save. And if the CS was really trying to squeeze into smaller jeans, why does it come with bulky powered and heated seats? BMW has chosen the wrong interior components to make the CS feel as special as its price demands. Two-piece bucket seats and metal pedals would go much further to doing that without compromising its functionality. Ultimately, when an M4 Pure offers 80 per cent of the performance for almost 65 per cent of the price, the CS doesn鈥檛 stack up. That leaves us with the 718 Cayman GTS.
Sure, if we鈥檙e nit picking, its rear-vision is poor and its seats may challenge to fit even average sized builds. It also can鈥檛 carry more than a couple of bags for a weekend. Nor will its throbbing engine note, that constantly competes with tyre noise, prick the hairs on your nape. But you wouldn鈥檛 care about that if this is the first Cayman you鈥檝e driven. The 718 GTS can blitz the drag strip, enchant you in corners, and offer a cosseting ride on the way home to justify those other criticisms. Its brakes, too, are strong yet delicate, much like the rest of the car. Make no mistake, it hasn鈥檛 unlocked a war cry like the M4 CS, or nailed the grand-touring vibe of the Audi, but the Cayman GTS could win almost on dynamics alone. It might not have quite mastered the art of turbocharging yet, but it鈥檚 only a matter of time. After all, that鈥檚 all that鈥檚 left for it to do.
