Just ordered a 718 Cayman GTS to replace my 2016 718 Boxster.

Will be waiting until March to get a manual 'box and hopefully by then Sapphire Blue or a new similar colour is available.

Going to be a long 6months!!

If I had to wait that long I will go mad, last time I bought a brand new Porsche was about 6 years ago...

Regarding the recent comments :
I tried buckets briefly on test drives but think there is nothing to beat the Sports Seats Plus with the 18 way adjustment, plenty of support when cornering and the memory is a bonus when family members alter it (my family drive the car occasionally).
Manual v PDK has been done many times and no arguments from me either way. Mine is PDK and I love it, use manual when having fun.
I also love PASM, comfortable on bumpy roads and when cruising around, sports mode is great for fast driving and tracks.
My car also has PTV, not my choice (as bought used) but the handling is fantastic.
I go to Scotland often and love it, great roads everywhere in the northern highlands and loads further south too.
The extra bonus is mine is a BGTS and has the option of open air driving! Having said that the Cayman GTS does at least look great!

You have the wrong gearbox and wrong suspension. Twinfan will agree lol. (joking btw)

Your right about the roof, I really enjoy getting my top off, but on Sunday I kept it up, it really is two cars in one!

After a long drive on a sunny Chicago day today. 7125 miles. Never gets old. Still prefer it to its stablemate...

What's the small painted part atop the Caymans roof?

Sirius XM satellite radio receiver. Unfortunately on all USA Porsche products. I live in Chicago.

Good evening all I'm a little late to the Cayman GTS party but have just sold my PDK BGTS with PASM and Sports Plus seats and moved to a younger PDK CGTS with X73, LWB's and PTV lsd and what a machine. I've always admired the shape of the Cayman and together with its more taut feeling and seemingly more willingness to get down the road its a lovely car so 3 years old and with 2000 miles in perfect PPF'd condition I shall be enjoying it for some time to come.
Cheers

Is that the high spec racing yellow one? I've recently bought my first Porsche, a PDK 981 CGTS, after test driving one nearly three years ago!

Nice. Mine is Carmine Red with matching GTS interior pack and satin black Carrera S wheels. Enjoy.

Not sure if anyone is looking but with regret i could be selling my 981 CGTS manual very soon.

Hi,

This is my first post.

I have been driving new 5 series BM’s for the last 15 years normally with 3L diesels but am about to put in an order for a 718 CGTS which will be my first Porsche.

I almost have a spec sorted but the only thing I am unsure about is to go with PASM or SPASM.

I would rather have the car that extra 10mm lower but the car will only be used on the road as a daily and some European tours but a bit unsure how different the ride is.

I am sure this topic has been discussed to death but any opinions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It'll be a touch firmer and a touch more prone to rubbing on driveways and speed bumps.

If you want maximum sportiness choose SPASM, otherwise PASM is a fantastic all round option.

I owned a 718 CS with SPASM, it’s a firm ride but no problem. My current 981 CGTS with X73 is a more crashy ride.

[PF64]

Thanks,

That’s what I was hoping you would say.

I testdrove a spasm car and it was spot on. Sports suspension on my previous 997 was rock hard and no use and Pita on anything but the smoothest asphalt. I've got a PAsm 981 now an dits perfect for me.

Has anybody had their 4th year service on CGTS?

Got a quote from OPC at £1k inc. oil, oil filter, cabin filter, air filter, spark plug, oil brake, topup bag (no idea what is), window cleaner outer (?)

Is it good or bad? lol...

Topup bag is the dealer principle’s Christmas fund AFAIK
