Carlos from Spain:

I'm driving a 718 Cayman GTS today, fantastic chassis, a joy, but the engine is lifeless, more than plenty of low end grunt and performance for a Cayman, but if you would tell me it is from a VW Golf I would believe it, no exhaust sound, bad engine sound, and no exitement on top end. Driving dinamics are excellent though,  and if you cant tell the difference between a 6cil and a 4cil and a turbo and an atmospheric, then it is a fantastic package, but if you own its 6cil NA predecessor then hold on to it.

Don’t entirely agree with the comparison with a Golf engine Carlos - if our Golf GTI ran as roughly as the 718 engine I’d be taking it back to the dealer and saying there was something seriously wrong with it Smiley

The frustration is 718 is an improvement in every other way over the 981, but that awful engine completely ruins it. Smiley
