2024 Porsche 718 Cayman review

The Porsche 718 Cayman Style offers an endlessly rewarding driving experience courtesy of a chassis created by pure engineering know-how.

Pros

The benchmark entry-level sports car
Turns more heads than a base 911
Next-gen is electric, so it's a collectable

Cons

Exhaust note is still uninspiring at 5000rpm
Storage space in the cabin is tight
Infotainment hardware is almost a decade old
