The 718 Cayman is essentially a 718 Boxster with a fixed roof.
The base and S versions of the Cayman are offered with a choice of a six-speed manual or a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Both of the four-cylinder turbocharged engines are responsive and energetic.
Handling remains superb, with immediate response from the communicative steering and almost no body lean, making the Porsche fun to drive.
The very firm ride is not unduly punishing for a sports car, but it's not ideal for a long trip.
The frunk, or front trunk, and hatchback provide a surprising amount of storage space.
The GT4 model is powered by a 414-hp, 4.0-liter six-cylinder and features firmer suspension tuning.
Disappointingly, only FCW and BSW are optional.
Other important active safety features, such as AEB, are not available.
