So after final deciding on my new car (Cayman 981S) Porsche decide to release a new version which on paper is far better.
For those of you that are not aware the the new Cayman 718 none S is just as quick (if not quicker) than the old 981 S version. Price wise a 13 plate 981S from an OPC is around £45k and a brand new 718 is 40k but realistically 45k after the normal options. Major man maths goes underway and in my head the 718 will now actually save me money over the 981 over 3 years....
I test drove the 718 Boxster today as the Cayman isn't out until Mid August but it has the same engine and that's the main change I am interested in. First impressions are very very good, such a delight to drive and loads of power from very low down in the rev range. The steering is pin point precise and really easy to drive in auto mode for my long commutes.
I am now massively torn as I always said I would never buy a new car and especially one with only a 2 litre engine :|
Opinions greatly appreciated!
