It鈥檚 gruff and unapologetic about its small displacement; as one coworker put it, 鈥渋t鈥檚 rude, in a good way.鈥?If the Boxster were launched with this soundtrack from the get-go in 1996, this would likely be a nonissue. For tighter, twistier stuff, I buzzed over to the canyons bordering Malibu. The Cayman ripped through the switchbacks at a pace you鈥檇 expect of something far more expensive, with smooth, quick steering and impeccable mid-engine balance. Pure grip from the medium-performance Pirelli P Zero tires was impressive, allowing you to learn the capabilities of the car long before you ran out of roadholding (or talent). The brakes and the suspension damping were similarly remarkable, though are you really that surprised? This is the same Cayman/Boxster playfulness we鈥檝e known and loved for 23 years. When you鈥檙e done messing about and need to make it through L.A. Cayman settles down to VW Golf docility with a semi-cushy suspension tune and silken gearshifts from the automatic transmission. Thanks to the mid-engine configuration, there鈥檚 two storage areas for all your Oreos: a flat-loading duffel shelf around back, and a reasonably cavernous compartment up front. So it鈥檚 good鈥攔eally, really good. Better than you might have heard. Of course, I do think without that snappy PDK, this might be a different experience, and I鈥檓 not sure all its character will translate during a quick test drive at your local dealer. If you鈥檙e interested, do make sure to take one for an extended period of time. In typical Porsche fashion, this doesn鈥檛 come cheap. 70,000 718 Cayman S, an upgrade that鈥檚 probably worth it, even if you get a stripped-out model.

A Bargain priced Entry Level Porsche? You may be asking - what constitutes a bargain, and at what level may one enter the often considered exclusive realm of Porsche motoring enjoyment? Both questions are of course relative to an individual? Porsche has always been about options and personalization. Historically, everything checked off on the order list of a new Porsche incurs an extra cost. Nothing is free, but you get what you pay for. Porsche has also always been about achieving excellence in the vehicles that it produces. The two-seat roadster representation is the 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS, and the coupe role is filled by the 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS. Now, to address the Value proposition - Porsche? GTS models is to add the performance features available on other models as options by packaging them with a modest power increase for a total price better than it would be to piece everything together individually. The starting prices of the Cayman and Boxster represent a value over comparably equipped S models.
Standard fare includes all the hardware an enthusiast would likely check off anyway: the Sport Chrono package, Sport exhaust, PASM adaptive dampers, Sport Seats Plus, brake-based Porsche Torque Vectoring, 20-inch wheels, and an interior with microsuede. Additionally, the turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four banger increases horsepower by15 relative to the S model Boxster and Cayman, raising the total to 365 horsepower at 6,500 rpm. Torque remains the same 309 lb-ft with the base six-speed manual transmission. 3,730 seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission and an extra 8 lb-ft of torque is added. GTS models share gearing their S counterparts. The extra power comes from two sources: a turbocharger featuring an enlarged compressor wheel relative to that of the S model - increased in diameter in diameter from 64 to 67 millimeters, with the turbo? The turbo?s hot side uses the same Variable-Geometry Turbine design as the S models. The baffles look like restrictors at the intersection of the plenum and intake runners, and they allow proper filling of each cylinder?
