718 Cayman, anyone have one? Options

[Olympic 914]

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.

I am also in the Can't afford a new 911 camp but may be able to swing a new Cayman. I like the smaller size, don't need the back seat in a 911 (Ha-Ha) or the price tag.

Looking through the CPO used around the area and most of the base Cayman are barely optioned and usually with things I don't want, Or could care less about.

20" wheels ............ Western Pennsylvania, Pothole capital of the world.
Bose Stereo .......... Barely listen to the radio
Dual zone climate ... in a car this small, can you even have two zones?
14/ 18 way seats .... I adjust it once, and I'm good.
Porsche connect ..... No Apple phone...
Sport Exhaust ........ Lot of money for just noise.

Some of the used S models come with options I do like, such as the Sport Chrono with the PDK. and the NAV, but at that price I can get a base with most of the options I DO want. I would probably be OK with just the 300hp of the 2.0 base model instead of the 350hp 2.5L in the S

This wouldn't be a garage queen and would go on longer trips, the 914 is fun for blasting around on local back roads.

My dream option list would be as follows.

Sapphire Blue
PDK.
NAV.
Sport Chrono
PASM.
bi-Xenon headlights. PDLS
sport plus seats
Standard 18" wheels
PTV
and a couple other little things .

Probably would be keeping it a while so not worried about resale, or what the next guy might want.

The GFs main argument against is "Why do you need 6 vehicles?"
( 5 current vehicles > SVT Raptor DD, 914, and 3 Harleys - 2001 FLHTC Touring, 77FXE Super Glide Cruiser, and 48 rigid Chopper. Not counting her MB C300 )

Storage is also an issue, since the teener gets the shed and the 3 motorcycles currently reside in my half of the 2-car integral garage. I may be able to get rid of a seldom used large table saw, and some other seldom used lawn equipment. then shift a couple bikes to the shed with the teener and put the Cayman in the integral garage. Just thinking out loud here.

When the weather gets a bit better I will go back to the dealer to do some test drives. and let them talk a little.
