RickLS7 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 It's orange: Really great spec but it's orange! Would you guys be embarrassed having one this colour on your drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobbie Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Not at all, I love the bright colours, there's a 987.2 near me in that turquoise blue and I love it. Not really a fan of the black/grey thing, but each to their own😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike597 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Get it bought you won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTUK Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I think the orange and black look great together. Plus it will be a lot easier to find in a car park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason3.2s Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I love the orange colour, only downside I can see is that you will get a lot of people parking next to you. Looks very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Seriously Rick, I’d buy one again in a blink. Overall VERY positive reactions to it. Oddly my only problem with Lava Orange is that it’s not orange enough, looks like an off-colour red to me. And recently saw a GT3 RS in the metal and thought the same, so it’s not just the photos (as Gutley will tell you, trying to photograph special colours realistically can be a major challenge). The future is bright Just don’t let Patt see it first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topbox Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 It looks great. My view is that a sports car is fun, they are not discreet, if you like how the car looks and your comfortable with it, get it. Have more fun on the ground 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezky Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 that's probably the colour my next 718 will be I had a demo lava orange 718 Cayman last year, look stunning in real life, pictures just don't show the full orangey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLS7 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I'm test driving a 718S tomorrow and saw the dealer had this in their stock. I've driven the base 718 and found it fast enough but just want to make sure. This is also a base model and I liked the colour but the wife said it was wayyyyyy too much hairdressers mid life crisis but wanted a sensible opinion from you guys. This is the spec: Vehicle Equipment Exterior Model designation '718' Bi-Xenon main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) ParkAssist (front and rear) with reversing camera Electrically folding exterior mirrors Roll-over bars painted in exterior colour Headlight cleaning system covers painted Transmission / Chassis Power steering Plus Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Sport Chrono Package Sports exhaust system in black 64-litre fuel tank Wheels Wheels painted in satin black (complete) 20-inch Carrera S wheels Interior Cruise control Lane Change Assist Automatically dimming mirrors with integrated rain sensor Light design package Heated multifunction steering wheel Fully electric Sports seats (14-way, electric) Two-zone automatic climate control Seat heating Smoking package Passenger footwell storage net Interior Leather Porsche Crest embossed on headrests Interior Carbon Interior package carbon (including door trim strips) Audio / Comm.

Pezky Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 If that's the one at Silverstone, it's good value for money (IMHO). If only they'd had it 2 months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLS7 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 It is the one at Silverstone. I will certainly have a look tomorrow if it hasn’t sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Daniel Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 There is another orange one on autotrader for £42,000. Nice spec and only 7500 miles. I thought it was odd that it has already had 3 owners though. Autotrader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLS7 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I saw that one thanks plus it's an S. What put me off was that it's a private seller and the warranty runs out in a few days. They may charge more for used cars but at least you get a good warranty from Porsche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolfgjp Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I would definitely buy it that colour, always reminds me of the Gt3 Rs and that’s not a bad thing! Plus you will never lose it on a car park 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
