When a car enthusiast purchases a car, "Which of the many models and grades to choose fromI think that many of us are very often troubled by the question, "What is the best Porsche for my needs? Especially in the case of Porsche, each model has a completely different charm, so it is even more difficult to find the right one.I like that one, I like this one...You won't be able to choose between the two.
I just look at my husband.What is the purpose of the car and in what situations?I feel that when the use of a car is clearly defined, the choice of car is often simpler.
One example is a "bare-bones 718 Cayman" that my husband has been wondering about and asking for for several months now. I wrote about it briefly on Twitter and on my blog, and received this comment
I'm also interested in a bare-bones 718 Cayman, but I've been around.I'd rather have a six-cylinder." "It's the end of the model year, so maybe it's too late in terms of timing."That being said, now that we have options such as the 6-cylinder GTS 4.0, what appeal do you think remains in the 4-cylinder? Personally, I believe that the bare-bones models have an unbeatable appeal in terms of sound and feel.

I see...!
So I asked my husband again about this and he said.I know...He answered in this way, thinking for a moment, "I'm not sure.
I am.The reason why I want a bare-bones 718 Cayman is clear: I want to drive on the track.and ....
I've always wanted a car that can run on a circuit... and that's what I've been thinking about.GT3 was good too.But GT3 is too fast and the performance is too awesome to be called "I will drive this car any way I can.I am too focused on going fast instead of enjoying the circuit.
In addition, the981 Boxster GTSAs for the 981 Boxster, it's not a car for the track. The 981 Boxster is a convertible with a supple suspension, so I think it is suitable for touring.
On that note, the 718 Cayman is aThe suspension is firmer than the 981, the hand linkage performance is better, the coupe model is stiffer and more rigid, and the power feel is just right.I think that the car can be driven as hard as possible on the circuit and enjoy the circuit driving itself. Also, the used car market is getting cheaper, so it is easier to buy one.
I feel that this performance at this price is very cost-effective.
Just as many people say.For a bare-bones Cayman, I'd like a little more low-speed torque in city driving.I think "S" is better in that case, because there is certainly a point where "S" is better. But I am not a "S" person.Turn it hard on the track and enjoy driving.I don't care about that, because I'm mainly thinking of the "I'm not a fan of that.
If you are concerned about the lack of low-speed torque in town, you can use the Sport mode to turn the engine more or less, and the Cayman will run very nicely.
He said.
."If you are thinking of driving on a circuit, I would say a bare-bones 718, but if you think of it as a touring application, what would you choose among the 718's?I asked my husband, "What do you mean?
If I were to do that, it would be the 718 Boxster GTS4.0. I still love touring all over Japan, and I'd love to drive the "718 Boxster GTS 4.0".The feeling and enjoyment of going touring.I'd like to focus on the "what's the best way to go". That would be the GTS 4.0, a NA 6-cylinder model with a better convertible and that easy-to-handle torque and sound quality that I prefer.
I have to admit, I like the design of the Spyder better.In my touring use, I leave my photographic equipment in the car and take breaks at roadside stations, convenience stores, and bathroom breaks. Each time I do this, it's a little hard to keep the top closed for security. I have to do it several times a day, so there are too many times.
afterAs for the transmission, the right PDK is chosen.When I bought my 981 Boxster GTS, I wanted a MT, so I decided to get a left-hand drive MT. At the time, there were very few production slots for left-hand MT in Japan, so I waited about 10 months.
But now, it also means that I have a MT car, and the GTS4.0 engine has a lot of torque from the bottom for an NA, and a torquey engine and a dual clutch transmission like PDK are a good match.So I think it fits well with PDK and I think it's fun, so I wouldn't dare to use MT.
On the other hand, there are only a few right-hand drive PDK models, and I think the resale rate will improve in the future.
With Porsche, the more expensive car is never the better car, and even the base grade is very well made. That's whyIt is important to be aware of the importance of buying a car that truly suits you, rather than getting caught up in the price or the model or grade of the car.I think so.
This was the case.
I see.
It's hard to say which car is better.It depends a lot on what you are using it for and for what purpose.Therefore, I think that the first step in choosing a sports car with a high level of taste, such as a Porsche, is to clearly define the kind of situation in which you want to use it.
