I cant think past the 718 Cayman when it comes out even the base model is seriously quick, great value, great looking?

Appreciate mixed views on here re the turbo engine and sound.

Anyone else seriously considering one?

A line of new Porsches came past me while I was cycling in Majorca last week, the 718S sounded very fruity !

If there were no 981 models to buy used I still wouldn't consider a 718.

Has to be 6 cylinders plus for me now, while I can. Made that 4 cyl turbo mistake with my 2012 TTS. Ughhhhh. Put me right off.

718 buyers will love them though. Especially the NA 6cyl 718 GT4. But that's maybe a few years away...

I'm thinking of either a 718 Cayman or an M2 for 2017.

9 BMWs over 28 years and now I wouldn't have another. Can't put my finger on it though. They've just... lost it.

Went Merc then Audi... yawn x 2. Porsche hits the spot for me, but we all want different things.
