I must admit (and I thought I'd never say this) that the new 718 Cayman GTS is such a hoot to drive, better than the 981 GTS we had for 2.5 years.
Porsche have done a marvellous job on this little car.

Great to hear! The GTS will be that bit more nippy than the S that I drove today. And although the car had Sport Chrono, it was lacking PSE, which for me, would add more character to the driving experience.

One could certainly argue that the Cayman might be better value, but much as I enjoyed the red 718 S, I was glad to get back behind the wheel of my Carrera T!

Sounds like it's time for a GT4 Simon....Wing Commander wrote: ↑Tue May 15, 2018 8:42 pm It was good to get my first drive in a Cayman and I really enjoyed my spirited drive around the Cotswolds!
The Cayenne is now the only Porsche that I haven't driven, yet...

If I’m ever down your neck of the woods Simon you can tick driving a Cayenne Turbo off your list.

My wife has one currently (718S Boxster) whilst her Macan is in for a headlight fault and although it has PSE and is very quick I can't stand the sound or the way the power is delivered with the turbo flat four (all or nothing). I also had a drive at PEC in 2017 and it just doesn't do it for me. I much prefer my Cayman 981S.
