718 Boxster Roadster 2.0 PDK

I’m a convert, this is far better than I had imagined. Roof down driving through country roads and lanes is such a pleasure. Having owned a 22b for many years the 4 cylinder sound is not an issue especially as it’s very quick combined with the PDK box. It handles with lovely weighted steering precision. It also has enough boot space to take golf bag and buggy. It’s my wife’s car but she’s losing it to me as I drive it at any opportunity. The negativity surrounding the four cylinder is just rubbish as I’ve been finding out. My previous 996 GT3 RS and 997 GT3 RS were tracked and toured around Europe extensively I’m looking forward to doing the same with this.

Congratulations, they are good aren't they and pretty under rated IMHO.

We got our 2.0 at Christmas after taking advantage of a surprisingly good deal from our local OPC. We've also got a 981 Cayman and the 718 is much better all round, performance, suspension, steering etc. although without doubt the 981 does sound better

We managed to get in a 2 week road trip to SW France in July and it was brilliant fun, so much so that I'm questioning the value/sense of going ahead with the 4.0 GTS we've got on order. Oh, and Gentian Blue is a bit dull in poor light but more than makes up for that when the sun comes out.

Ah yes a trip to SW France - memories. I too have the 4.0 GTS lined up but questioning the wisdom of going ahead. A couple of problems seem to pop up, the interior is unavailable in Race -Tex in the GTS, there could also be a 10% increase on the price which configured is already £85k ish. Our car's colour of Night Blue Metallic is stunning in the sunshine.

First time I've seen the PDK box GT4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl8e9ReWRJ8&t=...
