2018 Porsche 718 Boxster Reviews and Ratings

I was somewhat apprehensive about the engine change Porsche has made in the 718 but this is one sweet package with performance, handling and even economy in spades. Would recommend this car to anyone looking for a well balanced little car.

Special ordered a new 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS and took delivery in May of last year. I've loved past model Cayman's, but with the addition of turbocharging in 2017, the car's overall performance levels have been raised to new heights. The extra torque lower in the powerband means that you can have fun in the car without needing to hit redline every time you wring it out. I'm a car enthusiast and I optioned my Cayman as such: six speed manual, manual seats, Alcantara everywhere, and because it's a GTS, it comes from the factory with all of Porsche's latest performance tech (PASM, PTV, PSM, Sport Chrono, etc.) It's a fantastic car and really is a good value for its performance capabilities, so long as you don't go overboard with the options list. Being just one of a few mid-engine cars still sold under $100K, makes the 718 Cayman/Boxster platform one of the best sports car purchases you could make without stepping into supercar territory. And yes, the balance and agility of the 718 is better than the 911, despite what Porsche purists might say.

I really like the exterior of my car , they is very agreessive , they need more technology , and will be perfect

My 718 Cayman is very fun to drive I owned 2015 Corvette and i didn't think i would every say that the 718 is funner to drive.

The Porsche Boxter base is a fun car to drive and an exceptional car to look at. It’s Graphic Blue Metallic paint seems to change color depending on the light. The Bose sound system is wonderful. My only regret is not getting the Porsche entry and drive option. My other vehicles have this type option and I’m simply used to not having to get my key out of my pocket to get in and start the car. The convertible top opens and closes very fast with no fuss. My first Porsche and I’m very happy with it.

Previous Boxster owner (bought both new: 2001 & 2008) Within Porsche brand, I admire most the Boxster genre (now 718 series) for its blend of power & performance, handling, reliability, and economy. Sweet spot for a daily driver. New 718 Cayman is better than previous versions: more power, very refined, and yet more economical. A true Sport and GT, great for local use, or travel for two. I specifically sought: white car, black interior...few options except upgraded/larger wheels, heated seats, and sport steering wheel. Found same on dealer's lot, arrived at price, and flew to pickup. 1900 mi ride home in new Cayman was an adventure of its own. Absolutely no issues with the machine. It's the best bang for the buck in a no frills sports car. The ultimate test: every time you drive it, it's a thrill.

Very good performance, reliable car, gets lots of looks and stands out, great materials used inside, great resale if I ever want to sell.

Unbelievable handling - I get into it after a hard day of work and cherish the drive home. It is fun!

The 718 Cayman GTS has great looks and performance. Many people come up to me and complement me on my car. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
