Hi friends,
I want to rent a Porsche for boyfriend’s birthday since he loves them. Options are as follows:
- 2017 Porsche Panamera 4S
- 2019 Porsche 718 Cayman
- 2015 Porsche Panamera 4S
Can anyone give me some perspective as to why I should rent one over the other? The Cayman requires a significantly higher deposit, but if there’s a reason to rent that one I will!
TIA :)
The Cayman is a sports car so the risk associated with it is higher, that’s why it costs more. The Panamera is nice, but for a special occasion I think the Cayman would be a better time. Also if your boyfriend get the itch to buy one they can be had for way less than a Panamera haha
So several folks have identified which may be the generally preferred call. I think as the person that’s going to be doing this, it would make sense to know why that would also be my call, for the Cayman that is.

Many super cars, race cars, etc are mid engine, meaning the engine is directly behind the cockpit / cabin, and in front of the rear axle. The Cayman is also mid engine. It gives that ultra performant feel in terms of the balance of the car in a way that’s more or less ordinarily inaccessible from a front-engine car.

there is more fun in things that are less practical. While a cayman has two trunks and loads of cargo space / ability to daily drive without concern, it is a two seater, and that makes it feel less practical, and a more driver oriented experience. It feels like a car that adventures are had in, memories are made in. For a lot of people, a two seater is something they never believed they’d be able to get into regardless of how accessible they may actually be (old, used, in need of love / maintenance). Memories and adventures can happen in any car - but there is something special to a sports car.
Hope this helps, and I bet he’s gonna have a blast whichever way you go.
Yay! Love your response. Thank you!

The Cayman every time, and that’s coming from a Panamera owner.
Cayman for SURE
Cayman it’s the driver’s option between those 3.
Cayman as a flatsix.
If he is 6’2" or under, the Cayman is the experience he’ll want. If he’s a taller man, he would be comfortable in the Panamera, but it’s a sports sedan, not a Porsche sportscar, like everyone is pointing out.
Cayman. The end. Get ready for him to buy one or plan to buy one after this gift
Of those, Cayman, hands down.
