Malcolm E Box Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Never had a Cayman and never had a 718. Currently have a 981 Boxster. But it is a beautiful colour IMO. Current car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 We had a yellow Cayman not long ago, think it was one of our Paulos, but I can't quickly find which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenman Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Yes I like the colour, but want the convertible option so no Cayman for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm E Box Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Thanks for your comments. The finances work out good but it is taking that leap into a Cayman and then the new engine. Has anyone switched from any 981 to any 718? What are your thoughts comments etc when comparing the two?

Happy Days Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I went from a 986 to a 718 - both S. Maybe not a direct comparison, I know, but they are different. The F6 needs to be at the upper limit to find the power band (and the banshee wail band..) whereas the F4 has full torque available from 1,950rpm, so you tend to drive it at lower revs. I like the 718S, it really is a fantastic daily driver (which mine is). However, as someone said to me on another forum, if it was a weekend toy, I'd probably want the 5,000rpm soundtrack to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm E Box Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Things have changed. Looking at a Yellow 718 Boxster on Saturday. I think the soft roof wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart21UK Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 its a no from me on the colour or 718....on the Cayman front it's a maybe though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Had a base 718 for almost two months. I found there was no low down torque to get you out of trouble unless you had "sports" switched on. SO if you pulled out and then realised you need to be getting on to avoid an accident - there was just nothing. The exhaust and the artificial tampering to make it sound sporty was naff, and put me off. Looks wise , very pretty, especially with the optional LED lights front and rear. Handling same as 981. BOth look fantastic as a Cayman, but I want the drop top. I could have bought a very well optioned base 718, but I the hike to the S was out of my justification. I'm glad I bought the 981S, at the end of the day the flat 6 means more to me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm E Box Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Thanks for the replies and info. After going back and forth between Cayman or Boxster and another 981 or going 718, a decision has been made. A deposit has been put down on a 67 plate Miami Blue Cayman. See below. Porsche Bolton have done us a hell of a deal that was too god to turn down. So after three Boxsters we are back in something with a proper roof. Anyway can't wait to pick it up.
