Best looking car on the road!

This is a head turner...a 2-seater above all in its class. If you are looking for a sport car you cannot go wrong with the GTS trim.

718 Beast

Fun car to drive, a eye turner and the fastest Ive own. A little tight if you are taller than 6 foot. Interior a little outdated but for the most part I still love it.

The most exciting car I've ever driven.

This is a pure sportswear. The exterior styling is beautiful; the care looks fast just standing still. The interior fit and finish is excellent. The ergonomics are very good good. The infotainment system is easy to learn and operate. However, the ride is very stiff and the engine and exhaust note drowns out the bass signal from the stereo.

Fast. Fun. Affordable performance

I was skeptical about the turbo 4 cylinder but man, it sounds great, is really quick, looks amazing and of course, Porsche quality. You can buy several sports cars in this price range but you won’t get this level of quality, resale or reliability.

There is no substitute

I was driving an Audi TT RS, but decided to test drive a used Cayman R. I was so impressed that I traded my Audi for a new Cayman. I decided to buy a base car rather than an S since the 300 hp engine provides excellent performance, making spending $10K more for an S absurd. If you can, buy one of these cars. They are special.

Amazing all-around car

This car is incredible, it's like driving a rollercoaster. It's handling is exceptional, and has plenty of straight-line power. Sport mode is awesome. The adaptive cruise control and lane change assist work well, as does most all of the tech in the car.

Exceeds expectations

This car feels like an extension of your body when driving it. The steering is so exact to the turning process at varying speeds it?s almost eerie. The engineering from motor to cockpit is amazing!
