Hi friends,

I want to rent a Porsche for boyfriend’s birthday since he loves them. Options are as follows:

  1. 2017 Porsche Panamera 4S
  2. 2019 Porsche 718 Cayman
  3. 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.

    The Cayman every time, and that’s coming from a Panamera owner.

    Cayman it’s the driver’s option between those 3.

    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.
