Hello everyone. This is Mina, the administrator of “Welcome Home, PORSCHE.” This project, Porsche Owners File<\/a>, was born from readers\u2019 requests to share the genuine voices of various Porsche owners. For the eighth installment, we bring you a purchase, options, and driving review of the 718 Cayman<\/strong> from “Porsche Dreamer,” who lives in Fukuoka City. Since there were hardly any articles about the Cayman on this blog, this review\u2014long awaited and dearly desired\u2014is a real treat (laughs). Please enjoy.<\/p>\n

\u3018Owner Information\u3019<\/strong>

\n\u30fbMessage to readers: If you\u2019ve decided \u201cSomeday I\u2019ll own a Porsche,\u201d it\u2019s best to act sooner rather than later.<\/strong> Especially if you have specific preferences or want to order options, timing is crucial. When a model change occurs, expect about a six-month period when orders cannot be placed.<\/p>\n

1) Background to the Purchase<\/h3>\n

\u2013 Why I bought a Porsche<\/h4>\n

From the moment I watched the movie “Le Mans” (1971) with my mother, who took me as a \u201ccar-loving son,\u201d I developed a strong admiration for Porsche. Later, I found an ad in the morning paper for the “CAR GRAPHIC April 1972 issue (Porsche special),” asked my father to buy it, and decided in my heart that I would buy a Porsche someday. I was eight years old then.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Why I chose the 718 Cayman<\/h4>\n

By 2016, when I started thinking \u201cIt\u2019s time to prepare for purchase,\u201d I felt that the Cayman most closely matched the Porsche image I first admired.<\/strong> I liked the design of the 981 Cayman and went for a test drive, but the timing was off to order the 981. After gathering detailed information for several months, I decided to buy the 718 Cayman.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Deciding factor for purchase<\/h4>\n

With the children independent and some financial stability, plus my wife\u2019s encouragement, I remember her asking, “When are you going to buy a Porsche?<\/strong>” which pushed me forward.<\/p>\n

(Options and prices at time of purchase)<\/span>
\nAdditional options: 18-inch Boxster wheels, winter tires<\/p>\n

*Additional notes (2019.1.15)<\/span>
\n[<\/span>Standard and available options vary by model year. Not only the base vehicle price but also option prices have changed. Trying the configurator now shows differences from the original order:
\n\u30fbVehicle price increased, but standard equipment increased
\nPark Assist Rear and Porsche Connect are now standard
\n\u30fbRhodium Silver is no longer available; GT Silver and other colors added
\nBasically, the base price is up, option prices slightly down.
\nIf configured close to my specs, it would be about \u00a57,484,000, so a slight price increase. PDK may be cheaper.]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Aftermarket Options<\/h4>\n

I requested paint protection film for the rocker panels (including rear fenders)<\/span> and protective film for the headlights. (\u00a581,000 + \u00a520,000 + tax)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Why I chose these options and specifications<\/h4>\n

Power \/ Torque<\/h5>\n

Comparing specs of my previous Subaru B4 3.0R, the 981 Boxster test drive, and the 718, I thought power and torque didn\u2019t need to be from the Cayman S.<\/strong> Also, the Cayman S\u2019s 2.5L engine has an unusually large bore, while the 2L version is a 4-cylinder variant of the 911.2 engine, which attracted me. (By the way, recent BMWs reportedly consider 500cc per cylinder optimal.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Exterior Color<\/h5>\n

Since it was an early 718 model, available body colors were very limited. My wife initially said \u201cNo yellow or red,\u201d and I wasn\u2019t confident in keeping black clean, so I chose a classic German silver body color.<\/strong> (Only Rhodium Silver was available, but I liked it.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Interior Color<\/h5>\n

I chose black for the interior. Including my past 911, sports cars should have black interiors!<\/p>\n

RHD or LHD<\/h5>\n

Left-hand drive was available for a limited time, but for regular driving in Japan, I thought right-hand drive was better. Also, my commute includes intersections without right-turn lanes and rural roads with many blind corners, so considering all that, I chose right-hand drive.<\/p>\n

Park Assist System (Rear)
\nI never had park assist on previous cars, but for the Cayman, I thought \u201cI\u2019ll at least get rear sensors.\u201d I didn\u2019t choose front sensors because I prefer a clean look on light-colored cars without front bumper sensors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rear Window Wiper<\/h5>\n

Personally, I consider it essential for rainy city driving and checking behind when parking. Note that unlike typical Japanese cars, the rear does not have washer fluid.<\/strong> So I keep a water bottle handy.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n*Rear wiper: dust and dirt can be easily cleared by spraying water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Power Folding Mirrors<\/h5>\n

In Japan, mirrors folding when parked is standard, and it\u2019s convenient to confirm the car is locked when the mirrors fold upon locking.<\/strong> So I chose this option.<\/p>\n

Transmission<\/h5>\n

I went with a manual transmission. I believe gear selection and shifting are a big part of driving enjoyment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

19-in Boxster S Wheels<\/h5>\n

Porsche catalogs don\u2019t showcase wheels well; few 3D views are available. I ordered the 19-inch Cayman wheels without seeing them in person. Fortunately, my wife liked them. The tires fitted at delivery were \u201cADVAN Sport V105.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colored Crest Wheel Center Caps<\/h5>\n

With a silver body and black brakes (standard)<\/span>, I was advised that colored center caps would add a nice accent.<\/strong> I really like them now.<\/p>\n

Lane Change Assist<\/h5>\n

I was a bit concerned about the Cayman\u2019s diagonal rear visibility, so I wanted to try this feature.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Theft Protection System<\/h5>\n

This seems standard on US models. Since Porsche orders can take over six months and desired specs aren\u2019t always guaranteed, I wanted this for peace of mind.<\/p>\n

Standard Seats \/ Floor Mats<\/h5>\n

As my first Porsche, I started with standard seats and floor mats.<\/p>\n

Audio \/ Communication<\/h5>\n

I considered adding the BOSE system but heard that when the 911 switched to PCM (Porsche Communication Management system)<\/span> as standard, BOSE sometimes caused noise issues that couldn\u2019t be fixed.
\nSince the Cayman also switched to PCM from the 718, I checked with the Porsche Center but they weren\u2019t sure yet, so I kept the standard system and added Connect Plus to make the most of PCM.<\/p>\n

Winter Tires<\/h5>\n

As with previous cars, I naturally purchased a winter tire set, probably with 18-inch Cayman wheels. (Wheels cannot be selected.)<\/span> Although few buy winter tires at the Fukuoka Porsche Center, the tires delivered were \u201cPIRELLI Sottozero Serie II.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Paint Protection Film (Aftermarket Option)<\/h5>\n

I had heard that the bulging rear fenders of the 911, Cayman, and Boxster are prone to stone chips and scratches.<\/strong> I found a place in Kitakyushu that seemed reliable for paint protection film and booked it when delivery was confirmed.
\nI was advised that unless you do circuit driving or drive aggressively, front protection film isn\u2019t really necessary,<\/strong> so I only applied it to the rocker panels. Also, since the parking spot faces west and gets strong afternoon sun, I added headlight film to prevent discoloration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The MY2017 has rear overfenders, and they carefully finished the surrounding areas.
\nPaint protection film is great because you can just wipe off dirt with a sponge without worry.<\/strong> However, even on highways, the front bumper and trunk lid get quite scratched, so next time I\u2019d like to protect the front as well.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Options I didn\u2019t choose<\/h4>\n
Sport Chrono Package<\/h5>\n

I wanted to enjoy traditional manual shifting myself. However, from the 718 onwards, Sport Chrono Package enables automatic blipping in SPORT mode,<\/strong> and I couldn\u2019t find a way to disable just the auto-blip, so I skipped this option. (I researched extensively.)<\/span>
\nNote that SPORT mode exists even without Sport Chrono Package.<\/strong> In MT cars, engine mapping changes and response improves significantly, though fuel economy drops slightly and idle stop is disabled.
\nEven without sport exhaust, SPORT mode changes exhaust sound on sudden throttle-off, producing a subtle \u201cbababababa\u201d sound inside the cabin.<\/p>\n

PASM<\/h5>\n

I have no plans for circuit driving and wanted to experience the standard Porsche suspension setup<\/strong> for my first Porsche. Also, I found reports that suspension without PASM is quite good.<\/p>\n

PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes)<\/h5>\n

Attractive but expensive, and it prevents use of 18-inch wheels, so I passed.<\/p>\n

Automatic Air Conditioning<\/h5>\n

I prefer to manually adjust temperature and airflow, so I didn\u2019t choose it.<\/p>\n

3) Delivery Process<\/h3>\n

2016
\n\u2460 End of April: 718 Cayman order start
\n\u2461 May 8: Order placed
\n\u2462 October: Production completed
\n\u2463 December 10: Arrival at port
\n\u2464 December 26: Arrival at Porsche Center
\n\u2465 December 27: Delivery<\/p>\n

4) Porsche Performance Impressions<\/h3>\n

\u2460 Engine<\/h4>\n

It has enough power to enjoy driving on highways and mountain roads. Full acceleration in first gear causes wheel spin above 5000 rpm if the road is even slightly rough. The only time I feel it could use more power is full acceleration on steep hill climbs.
\nThe most enjoyable rev range seems to be around 4000\u20135000 rpm at speeds above 70 km\/h.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2461 Manual Transmission<\/h4>\n
Shift Feel<\/h5>\n

I\u2019m satisfied with the 6-speed MT shift feel. Although the lever is some distance from the gearbox, it shifts crisply with a \u201cclick-click\u201d sensation.Reverse was quite stiff when new but softened a bit after about a year.<\/strong> The best technique is to move the lever to the first\/second gear row, then push firmly to engage reverse.<\/p>\n

Clutch<\/h5>\n

The clutch\u2019s biting point is very narrow, so it felt a bit tricky at first,<\/strong> but it became easier after a year.
\nWith a top speed over 270 km\/h, gear ratios are relatively tall. Below about 10 km\/h is the half-clutch or coasting zone. The high mechanical precision and low rolling resistance mean starting on flat ground is easy without revving, but on inclines or with steering input, you need to keep the revs up by adding throttle.<\/p>\n

City \/ Highway Driving<\/h5>\n

In city fuel-saving driving, you can shift from 1st to 2nd at 2000 rpm, 2nd to 3rd at 1800 rpm, 3rd to 4th at 1600 rpm, and 4th to 5th at 1400 rpm. Simply put, \u201cgear \u00d7 10 km\/h or more\u201d allows smooth driving. On highways, I wish for an even higher cruising gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Next Page] \u2192 Handling, Fuel Economy, Ride Comfort of the 718 Cayman…<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2462 Handling<\/h4>\n

As my first Porsche and first luxury sports car, I can\u2019t give a fully informed evaluation, but it\u2019s simply excellent. The low center of gravity and minimal body roll make lateral G feel smaller. I thought, “Much of what I thought was lateral G might actually have been gravitational force from body roll.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2463 Fuel Economy<\/h4>\n

Considering the power, it\u2019s very good. 8\u20139 km\/L in city commuting, 9\u201312 km\/L in suburbs and mountain roads, and 13\u201315 km\/L on highways.<\/strong> I only tested during break-in, but steady 80 km\/h cruising can reach 16 km\/L. Seasonal differences apply; running AC full blast in summer can drop fuel economy by over 1 km\/L.
\nFor comparison, my previous Subaru B4 (flat-6 3.0L NA)<\/span> got 7 km\/L city, 9 km\/L suburban, and 13 km\/L highway.
\nThe Cayman (2L) has only a 54L fuel tank but can cover over 700 km on highways, which I find sufficient.<\/p>\n

\u2464 Ride Comfort and Feel<\/h4>\n
Ride Comfort<\/h5>\n

Without PASM and with normal ride height, road contact is excellent, and ride comfort as a sports car is good.<\/strong> Before, I drove a Subaru B4 (Bilstein dampers, 18-inch wheels)<\/span>, and the firmness feels similar. (But the Cayman has much less roll.)<\/span>
\nHowever, stroke isn\u2019t large, so you feel bumps on big road irregularities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brakes<\/h5>\n

The brakes work as expected, very well.<\/strong> With minimal body attitude change, you can brake confidently. ABS activation is easy to sense.<\/p>\n

Visibility<\/h5>\n

Visibility is better than expected, especially with wide side mirror views. The mirror position relative to the rear fender allows more outward angle than typical sedans, which was a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n

\u2465 Family Reaction<\/h4>\n

My wife now prefers riding in the passenger seat more than with the previous car.<\/p>\n

\u2466 Favorite Points<\/h4>\n

Though not physically large by modern standards, it feels even smaller when driving, which I like.<\/p>\n

5) Options I Would Definitely Choose for Future Porsche Purchases<\/h3>\n

\u2013 Options I liked having<\/h4>\n

\u30fbPower Folding Mirrors
\n\u30fbRear Window Wiper
\n\u30fbConnect Plus (standard on 911, etc.)<\/p>\n

\u2013 Options I want next time<\/h4>\n

Backup Camera<\/p>\n

\u2013 Options I think I don\u2019t need next time<\/h4>\n

Lane Change Assist\u2026 It definitely helps safety when faster or slower cars approach on highways, so I\u2019d choose it for Autobahn driving, but it\u2019s unnecessary in Japan. In congested city driving, following the assist can prevent lane changes, and on mountain or narrow roads, it reacts to guardrails and distracts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

6) Concerns<\/h3>\n

Door Dings<\/h4>\n

The doors are thick, and the Cayman has pressed lines, so I\u2019m careful not to hit adjacent cars when parking.<\/p>\n

Engine and Exhaust Sound<\/h4>\n

I\u2019m unsure if the low-speed engine and exhaust sound suit the Cayman. It feels closer to a large-displacement V8 than a \u201clight-sized small turbo.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brake Dust<\/h4>\n

Not unique to the Cayman, but standard brakes produce a lot of brake dust. I wish PSCB (Porsche Surface Coated Brakes) could be retrofitted without going all the way to PCCB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interior Reflections<\/h4>\n

Not just the Cayman, but the steering spokes, shift lever surround, and glove box use many chrome accents that reflect direct sunlight and cause glare. An option to make these matte black would be great, but even black choices have glossy surfaces. So I applied matte black masking tape used for photography to reduce reflections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n*Anti-reflection on shift area and steering: matte black masking tape<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Additional notes (2019.1.15)<\/span>
\n[<\/span>Two points remain unclear:
\n\u2460 The GT steering wheel spokes are black, so reflections may not be an issue (not tested).
\n\u2461 The \u201cLeather Interior Package\u201d option reportedly replaces these areas with smooth leather matching the interior color, which might reduce reflections, but I haven\u2019t seen it in person.
\nThis option is hard to find in the configurator and I only recently noticed it. There are two similarly named options with different contents; the first can be selected alone without upgrading seats or other interiors and is probably synthetic leather\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n

The 911\u2019s Presence<\/h4>\n

Since I first admired the 911, I naturally keep an eye on it.<\/p>\n

*Additional notes (2019.1.15)<\/span>
\n[<\/span>After writing this 718 Cayman report, I ordered a 911 Carrera and chose the two interior options mentioned above.]<\/span><\/p>\n

7) Overall Evaluation<\/h3>\n

Daily commuting is enjoyable, and I want to go out on weekends. Now, I can\u2019t imagine life without a Porsche.<\/p>\n

8) What Porsche Means to Me<\/h3>\n

A Dream<\/span><\/p>\n

When driving the Cayman, it\u2019s a reliable partner.<\/strong> Somehow it feels cute and pet-like.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[Blog Administrator\u2019s Thoughts]<\/strong>
\nThe Rhodium Metallic Silver 718 Cayman is rarely seen in town but looks beautiful and stands out wonderfully both in the city and on mountain roads. The 718 with MT feels like a true partner, fun to drive and very appealing.
