718 Cayman GTS Coupe (2018-2019)

Can you afford a 2018-2019 Porsche Cayman 718 Cayman GTS Coupe?

The 2018-2019 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS Coupe (982.1) is a mid-engine sports car celebrated for its exceptional driving dynamics and balanced performance. It was widely reviewed as a driver's car, praised for its communicative steering, precise handling, and potent turbocharged flat-four engine, often lamented by purists for replacing the naturally aspirated six-cylinder. While some missed the previous engine's sound, its performance upgrades and chassis tuning made it a track-day hero and a thrilling daily driver. It's well-suited for enthusiasts seeking a high-performance, engaging coupe for spirited drives or occasional track use.

Owning a 2018-2019 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS typically entails higher operating expenses than average vehicles due to its luxury and performance nature. Insurance costs are generally elevated. Maintenance, while not necessarily unusual, can be more expensive than for a standard car due to specialized parts and labor, though the 718 series is generally considered reliable for a sports car, lacking widespread significant reliability concerns. Fuel efficiency, while improved over previous generations, will still be lower than economy cars.
