What’s the 718 GT4 like as a road car?

[CantDecide]

I’ve a Cayman 981S and a serious hankering for a GT4, but the use case will be just road trips with the occasional (1 or 2) track days per year. Really like my 981S, but looking for a bit more of everything and like the looks of the GT4.

So what’s it like to live with as a ‘special’ road car, days out etc. Is the noise and front lip a pain in the backside or manageable (no multi storey car parks will be visited), is the suspension compliant for our terrible roads etc? I will be sticking with PDK and comfort seats.

I’ve driven one a year or so ago at the PEC, but you can’t get test drives on cars at Porsche centres now unless it’s on a car you intend to buy.

Any advice? TIA.

I’m not sure I would go with comfort seats in a GT4, the buckets are pretty good and suit the car better.

But for the use you are considering wouldn’t a 4.0 GTS be a good fit?

I have tried the buckets and find the lack of lumbar support and ease of getting in/out not suitable for my old(er) back :-)

The GTS probably would be more suitable, but I just love the looks of the GT4!
