Cayman 718S’ are rather cheap to get in my area used. I want a fun car for the track and the backroads and some daily driving. Talk me into the 718s
Get it before it goes electric
Any idea on when that will happen? The whole idea to get a nice sports car now is so I can get one before electric takes over, there will still be. A used market but I bet everything will be expensive.
Why haven’t you bought one already?
Asking the real question here… I don’t know, I kind of need to get out a just buy it. I’ve literally been planning for something more expensive than this so this really is the time to buy it.
If you were planning something more expensive, I would suggest a 718 GTS 4L 😂
Nah. Leave it for somebody who already has their mind made up
Unfortunately, the hot car to pick for “car guys” in my area are Mustangs and challengers🙄 Don’t get me wrong, awesome cars but what they do with them is not so awesome. That’s probably why Porsches are easier to get in my area😂 “but it doesn’t have a V8”
I get it. Depending on the roads in your area those cars may make more sense. A 718 is going to be a little underwhelming in Houston for example where the roads are all straight and wide. Some high HP muscle car is going to offer more bang for your buck.
If you’re more interested in handling, cornering speed and agility, 718 all day. (I may get some hate for saying this in this sub tho)
I can definitely see a faster 0-60 and top speed car being better in Houston but where I live I think it’s mostly because of the big crowd of street racers. There’s a bunch of bridges that are anywhere between half a mile and a mile long and those things literally turn into drag strips at night😂 Luckily for me, there’s a large “Cars and Coffee” group and we almost always go out to the backroads and have more spirited driving.
For backroads driving a 718 is a a go-kart. The speeds it can corner at are pretty much limited by your tire budget, bravery and not much else. It’s also surprising forgiving at or beyond the limit, so even if you do push a little too hard on occasion it’s not going to try to murder you.
I’d recommend renting one on Turo for day or two if you have the opportunity. A test drive at a dealer is not going to do one of these cars justice. Just my 2c.
Also my car gets way more attention in an average parking lot than any v8 muscle car
It’s a 3,100 lb sports cars. It’s the most agile car on sale today.
are you in dubai or something where is this magical please with cheap used Porsches
It’s more fun than a 911 on a track
Open the door. turn your back to the car. Sit your butt down in the seat. Then, bending the knees, bring one leg into the cabin at a time.
You can rent one from Porsche or do a subscription to see if it’s for you also. Of course if the program is available in your area. I get a convertible from time to time.
Nah. Get something else. No one needs to be talked into a 718. It’s a great enough vehicle to speak for itself.
😂I need a place where I can get quick facts for any arguments my family might bring up.
Ditch the fam, adopt the 718
The argument to your family is that it is super practical with a frunk and trunk AND it’s a 4cyl so it is very economical and a practical car to use every day.
I live by myself luckily, but my family (parents, uncles etc…) is big on muscle cars
Ok….lets do a drag race 🤔. Sport Plus & Launch control…bye bye you just got yo ass whooped by a 4 banger 🤣
😂you’re not wrong! Especially if I tune it, Porsches just get that power to the ground.
Well then they don’t have to drive it…
Are they paying paying for it?
Nope, definitely not. If they were I would just be happy to get something. I’m figuring it’s time to move on from my boring car and have some fun.
