But but but….
…. It has naturally aspirated race derived engine not a turbo charged which is well with the extra dosh!
90% of the car for 42% of the price!

We have a 2.0 manual 718 Cayman which I'm currently driving every day as I'm in-between Macans (SD sold but new GTS not arriving until Dec).
The only Cayman anyone ever talks about or buys now is the 4.0 GTS, yet the 2.0 is absolutely fantastic to drive and more or less identical in every respect except the engine. No, it absolutely doesn't sound like a flat six but it still goes like stink, has massively accessible performance, handles better than I can describe and is even usable and comfortable day in, day out. Definitely a case of 90% of the car for (used) 50% or the price.

No, no, no, Monsieur!
The car has 11000 parts and they omitted to add a turbocharger?
Surely every mugger wants a big turbo, pref from 1980,s

Probably the combination. In a Mini they literally just go wherever they are steered and it feels like a 100mphpmg wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 11:46 pmDo you mean smaller or lower.
I remember having a test drive in an Evoque when I was used to a 3 series. I was so high up that felt slow. At least in the Macan one can select a relatively low driving position for an SUV. I often wonder the height of Range Rovers is the reason they always appear hard driven
