Six Months with the 718 Cayman T: How Has It Been? (Part 2)

Picking up where Part 1 left off, this time I’ll focus on how the 718 Cayman T feels on winding roads and the highway. 718ケイマンTの納車から半年経過してどうだった？（前編） Mid-Engine Cornering at Its Best Our family has a 981 Boxster GTS and a 992, too, but the 718 Cayman T corners differently from both. Of course, with its mid-engine layout, it feels closer to the 981 Boxster GTS—but its dynamic performance is in a different league. Just as you’d...

Six Months with the 718 Cayman T: What I’ve Learned (Part 1)

It’s been about six months since our 718 Cayman T was delivered, and we’ve now driven it more than 2,000 km. It’s not quite through its running-in period yet, but we’ve taken it on several short tours. So this feels like a good time to share my impressions so far. The 718 Cayman T’s Appeal, Seen Through the Eyes of a Carrera T Owner The 718 Cayman T’s biggest strength is its beautifully judged chassis...

My New Porsche Arrives Today! Welcome Home, 718 Cayman T: Why I Chose It

Why I Decided to Buy a 718 Cayman T Today, I took delivery of a brand-new 718 Cayman T! I’d been interested in the base 718 Cayman—the 2.0-liter model—for a while. As I wrote in “My Husband Seems Interested in the Base Porsche 718 Cayman, So I Asked Him Why”, I’d been thinking of getting one for track days and mountain drives. A little while ago, my dealer suggested, “How about a 718 Style Edition?”...

Test-Driving the Porsche 718 Cayman and 718 Boxster T: What Makes the 718 “T” Different?

I recently had the chance to drive both the base-model 718 Cayman and the 718 Boxster T. Here’s my take on each—and what sets them apart. 718 Cayman (Base Model) First up is the base-model 718 Cayman. This particular car had very few performance options, making it about as basic as a 718 Cayman gets. I’ve reviewed the 718 Cayman a few times before, but I’d like to share some fresh impressions. Its suspension is...

New Toyota Supra (6-Speed Manual) Review: How Does It Feel to a Porsche Owner?

Toyota Supra When I think of the Supra, the first model that comes to mind is the A80, known in Japan as the “80 Supra” (1993–2002). Its larger body and dramatic departure from the previous generation divided opinion, but I loved it. I was especially drawn to the sculpted rear, the taillight design, and the cockpit-like driver’s seat that seemed to wrap around you. The Supra returned in all-new form in 2019. When I saw...

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Review: Let’s See What It Can Really Do

Among Porsche’s recent new models, one has really caught my attention: the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. I even placed an order, but production slots seem to be extremely limited, so I’ve more or less given up hope of getting one (laughs). I recently had the chance to drive a 718 Cayman GT4 RS, so here’s my review. 718 Cayman GT4 RS This is the range-topping Cayman, taking the performance of the GT4 to an even...

Porsche Owners Going Back a Generation The other day, my husband said something that got me thinking. I feel like quite a few people around me buy a relatively new Porsche, get to know it, and then move to an older model—or add one to the garage. Maybe you could call it “going back to Porsche’s roots” (laughs). For example, someone might start with the latest 911, the 992, then work their way back to...

From the 981 to the 718 I was talking with a Porsche owner the other day who had recently made an exciting change. Until recently, they drove a 981 Boxster Black Edition with PDK. Then they switched to a 718 Spyder with a manual transmission. They had plenty to think about before moving from the 981 Boxster to the 718 Spyder: ・They wanted to experience driving a manual Porsche ・They were drawn to the 718’s...
