After an 8 Month Wait - 718 Cayman S is here!


Starting with pics Ordered back in October 2016 and waited 8 months but it's finally here! I wanted something that would be a nice compliment to my S4, and the Cayman was perfect. Other cars I considered were a GTR, R8 V8, F-Type R, 4C, used Cayman and a couple others I'm probably forgetting. I was kinda a Porsche hater until my brother convinced me to drive one after being let down by the F-Type R at the next door Jag dealer. I know there's lots of hate for the 4 cylinder, but after driving it, I knew I wanted the 718 vs older ones with the flat 6. Those always felt too slow to me coming from a stage 2 S4. This new engine feels awesome, especially with PDK and all the cool trick turbo tech they've got going on. Oh, and for those wondering why I didn’t get a 911, I didn’t want one. Bigger, heavier, back seats, rear engine, more of a GT car. The Cayman is my favourite Porsche they make, regardless of cost. It’s just the right size/weight/power, and I think it looks so much better than the 911 too! Options: I went pretty easy on the options imo, but they still add up pretty quickly!Graphite Blue MetallicPDKSport ChronoSport PASM20" Carrera S WheelsWheels in Platinum SatinPDLS (headlight upgrade)Model delete (looks so much cleaner)Full leather interior (everything is plastic otherwise)Porsche Crest in headrestsBose soundPorsche Connect (basically CarPlay)Fire ExtinguisherSport Steering WheelSport Seats Plus (more bolstering)Light Design Package (LED lights everywhere) If you haven't spec'd a Porsche on their site before, you might be surprised to know that my car DOES NOT have this stuff that a $20k civic probably does:No power seatsNo automatic climate controlNo heated seatsNo steering wheel controlsNo auto dimming mirrorsNo rain sensing wipersNo navNo keyless entryNo driver assistance tech You can option everything in, but I didn't care or want most of that stuff, so it's great that you can pick/choose what you want. Mods to come:Exhaust (ordered AWE Track Exhaust)Window TintPPFTune? Maybe after warranty runs out! Feel free to ask any questions. I used to always go on forums and ask other owners a bunch of stuff, so now I can finally do the same! via /r/cars http://ift.tt/2sP09NI
