Porsche Cayman 718 (2016-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Sublime to drive	Tuneless four-cylinder engines in more affordable models
GTS and GT4 have a tremendous six-cylinder engine	GT4 is too narrowly focused for some
Much more reliable than older Porsche models	Parts and servicing won't be cheap

Quick Summary

The Porsche 718 Cayman (2016-present) is a near flawless mid-engined sports car that delivers an invigorating driving experience. With its beautifully balanced chassis, precise steering, and strong grip, it rivals even the larger Porsche 911 for thrills. The range spans from entry-level 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder models through to the raw, track-honed GT4 and GT4 RS variants. Whilst the four-cylinder engines lack character, the six-cylinder units in the GTS 4.0, GT4, and GT4 RS are among the most evocative in their price category. All models feature excellent build quality and strong residual values.

As sports cars go, the Cayman is remarkably usable, with a superb driving position, decent cabin space for two, and surprising practicality thanks to its mid-engined layout offering both a front boot (130 litres) and a versatile hatchback tailgate (275 litres). Running costs are reasonable for a Porsche, with four-cylinder models achieving around 30mpg in mixed driving, though insurance groups are high (42-48) and servicing costs reflect the premium brand. The Cayman is equally at home as a weekend plaything, track day toy, or everyday sports car.

Best for: Enthusiasts seeking a supremely capable and enjoyable sports car with excellent handling, those wanting a practical mid-engined alternative to the 911, and buyers prioritising driving dynamics and build quality over badge prestige.

Not ideal for: Those sensitive to engine noise (four-cylinder models), buyers seeking maximum practicality or rear seats, or those unwilling to budget for premium servicing and parts costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Cayman if: You're an enthusiast seeking a supremely capable and enjoyable sports car with excellent handling, want a practical mid-engined alternative to the 911, or prioritise driving dynamics and build quality.

Consider alternatives if: You're sensitive to engine noise in four-cylinder models, require maximum practicality or rear seats, or are unwilling to budget for premium servicing and parts costs.

Competitive Position: The Porsche Cayman 718 is one of the best real-world performance cars on sale today, offering sublime handling, delicious balance, and limitless poise. Whilst some may find the tuneless four-cylinder engines in lower-spec models intolerable, the high-revving six-cylinder units in the GTS 4.0, GT4, and GT4 RS are among the most evocative sports car engines available. Compared to rivals like the BMW M2 Competition and Alpine A110, the Cayman delivers superior mid-engined balance and practicality, though at a higher price point. It's the complete mid-engined sports car package, equally suited as a weekend plaything, track day toy, or everyday driver.
