In Case you're interested .. RS3 vs Cayman GTS
Here are my quick impressions that I promised previously of my initial impressions of the 2018 RS3 vs 2018 Cayman GTS: (Spoiler Alert - the 718 wins but IMO it should given its 38+% cost premium) ;)
What I really liked and miss from the RS3:

Here are a couple of updated photos:

I haven't been on this board for quite a while and came back to take a peek and saw your post. You got rid of the RS3 already? As for the Cayman GTS, sweet car and looks great. Like the color combo. Enjoy it! BTW, you mentioned the 6 speed manual and clutch is better than the previous one. I'm interested in knowing what is better. I really liked the one in my older Cayman S with the short shifter.

In my country, with the money you pay for a new RS3, you can hardly buy a new Cayman. The GTS will cost around 100K USD more.
Your Cayman is a real beauty! |

The color is Sapphire Blue and is gone as of 2019 so that was another reason to seriously consider the deal I got. While I loved the RS3, and wasn't planning on getting rid of it for another few years, the deal I was presented with was just too good to past up and I really missed the supreme "go cart" handling precision of the previous Porsche's (especially on these roads down here). ;) :) |

Your Cayman is a real beauty! Thanks for the compliment; I am very anxious to get it broken it before it gets too cold here so I can really open it up. I don't plan on putting winter tires on it as I never used the ones I brought with me from Ohio when I moved here 7.5 years ago. |
Congratulations again. My GTS was ordered last week, looking forward to spring delivery. The RS3 is now for sale. I really will miss both the sound system and the engine sound. I think the GTS sounds okay but the RS3 just sounds better. My mileage with the RS3 is fairly low, probably because I only drive it in sport and mostly in suburban traffic. I guess the Cayman will be much the same. Two great cars - each unique in their own way.

Oh wow Russbert. I've been offline for a while as well. Traveling a lot for work lately. Seems like yesterday we were chatting about the RS3. I still recall the tire issue you experienced. So you're back to Porsche. I'm originally for Stuttgart so I totally get it! LOL. Gorgeous car. Wow. Simply gorgeous. You seem very happy indeed and that's what counts. I barely have 2000 miles on my RS3. But I absolutely love it. Just wish I could have driven it more in the fair weather months. Always next year. Will avoid taking test drives in competitive machines so I don't get tempted!!! Congrats on your new car sir. Please keep us updated!!!
