2026 Porsche 718 Cayman review

Porsche 718 Cayman: built for the drive, not the errand. Illustrative review

8.1/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Porsche 718 Cayman is a strong contender in its class. Looks the part; engine note that rewards the throttle. Tight rear seat or none at all and limited cargo space, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $72,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Great daily driver

The steering feel is the standout. My only gripe is the firm ride, which I knew going in.

★★★★☆Omar R. · Phoenix, AZ · 18 months owned
Exactly what we needed

Bought it for the weekend drives and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

★★★★☆Grace G. · Columbus, OH · 7 months owned
Great daily driver

We cross-shopped three others and this won on steering feel. the firm ride is the trade-off.
