At the local P-car dealer and saw a new 718 Cayman in Sapphire Blue and now I can't get it out of my head. been looking at the Porsche configurator and searching the dealers stock.
Does anyone have one and what options did you get? So far my must have options are the Sapphire Blue, PDK and Nav, leaning towards the Sport Chrono and PASM. maybe the PTV. Still trying to convince the GF but I think I might be wearing her down. The PDK will be good because then she could drive it. |

Not a 718 (or 981) but I have owned a pair of 987.2 Caymans. First was an 09 S, then I upgraded to my current Cayman R. Both were purchased CPO with less than 8K miles and more than 20k below MSRP.
As far as options - If you get PDK, most will tell you that Sports Crono is a must have. It is also highly recommended with the 6MT. PTV and LSD are nice, but you will never miss them if they are not on the car. Automatic Climate Control works perfectly. I was always fiddling with the manual. The base stereo is basic but works fine. The Bose is much better. (I almost never turn it on except for long road trips.) Sports Exhaust is one of my favorite options. It might not be as enjoyable on a 718? I am sure PASM would be pleasant to have. (Most would think my sport suspension is to harsh.) A rear wiper is ugly and superfluous. The bi-xenon headlights are awesome. They turn with the car and light up the road like a rally car. Anybody would be happy with a base model. Nobody would ever regret stepping up for the S model. I love having both a Classic 914 and a Modern 914. Each one makes me appreciate the other one even more. They are both so incredibly good at what they do.  |
