718 Cayman Top Gear Review Tonight
Discussion
For those who are unaware, the 718 Cayman will be reviewed by Chris Harris tonight. I imagine it'll much the same as his Boxster review last year, where he disliked the engine. Regardless, I'm still keen to see it and what time it gets on the track. Worth watching for fans and non-fans alike

It just summed up my own opinion of the 718 boxster S I test drove.
Faster, sharper handling, better steering than the 981S but the sound of the engine was so ste, I just bought a 981S instead.
Yep, I had a 718 BS for the day when my beloved 981 CS was in for it's MOT. I came to the same conclusion. I didn't get that 'yeah, in a few years time' feeling or the urge to do the man maths.Faster, sharper handling, better steering than the 981S but the sound of the engine was so ste, I just bought a 981S instead.

Why didn't you go Miami Blue out of curiosity... worried it would draw too much attention to you or, resale worries?
Went with GT silver and yes like to be anonymous ! But miami looked good ! Not sure how it will age tho!I find Harris a bit annoying and the review was predictable, slightly boring and a few inaccuracies that from a supposedly well regarded journo should have been picked up on.
They called it a 50k car but drove an S which looked like it had a good few options so in reality 60k. The base model is more like a 50k car so why not drive this one.
And I'd like to know where Harris can buy a GTS for 50k.

I was more surprised that the lap time was the same as the M3. I thought it would have been quicker.
Same lap time as the CGTS too. Not a surprise I guess, given it's almost the same car with the same power output. The extra low-down torque clearly doesn't improve the lap time.Gassing Station | Boxster/Cayman | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
