This last Saturday I took my first turn in the new 718 Cayman as they've started arriving at one of my local dealerships. I was highly impressed with it! I had the driven the 718 Boxster back in July when they arrived at my local dealership. I was impressed with it as well, but I've decided that I don't want a convertible this time around. The Cayman is definitely at the top of my list when my lease comes due next year on my 228i. Hopefully, I can get the numbers where I want them.
My impressions were that it's definitely quicker than my 228i. Not surprised at that. I know that the purists are unhappy with the loss of two cylinders and the sound. I personally don't care about cylinder count as I've owned/leased 4, 6 and 8 cylinder cars. I'm also unfazed by the new sound. I didn't find it obnoxious in the cabin as I drove it. Overall, I believe this will be my next car. The hard part is going to be choosing the color! :laugh:
