So here are some of my impressions on this year's rental: 2021 Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0
The car:
- Fairly lightly optioned, as far as Porsches are concerned...didn't even have NAV. For those interested the Porsche code is PNTZEWI2, which is how I believe the car was spec'd for a total of $109,000
- Very flashy, the Carmine red is a brilliant colour
The sound:
- So my perspective is unique in that last year I drove the turbo 4 GTS and this is my first experience with a Porsche flat 6
- And yes, without a question the flat 6 sounds better, something even my wife and son noticed
- Simply put, it howls and screeches when you rev it up to 7 - 8 K RPM, fantastic
- Having said that, I still like the turbo 4, but agree with what others have said, not in a $100K car
- I think the turbo 4 would be a great option in a base Cayman or Boxster with a manual
Cayman vs. Boxster format
- I loved the Boxster GTS and top down driving. But I have to say, I would buy the Cayman
- I was smitten with this car. The lines are just gorgeous and head turning
- Plus, the cabin was more airy and the car had better sightlines
That's about it. Let me know if anyone has any questions. I would highly recommend this service if you just want to taste what the Porsche life is like.
