I’ve decided to go Porsche so I’m scheduled to go check out a used 2019 Cayman 718 S on Wednesday, I’ve already test driven it but we are going back to make the final decision. However, I’ve been notified there’s a used 2020 GTS that’s also available for around 15k more. My question is what’s the difference, and if I’m planning to do upgrades down the road would they end up getting to the same place in terms of performance and feel?
They drive differently and honestly a lot of people that aren’t tracking these are going to like the low-end torque of the S. I personally don’t think the 4-cyl sounds nearly as bad as others, but it really doesn’t compare to GTS engine.
THAT SAID, the prior generation Caymans have a better sounding engine than any of the 718s, imo. Especially if this isn’t a daily driver, you may consider an older one to save money and get a 6cyl engine.
