“Pure driving joy at half price”

Interest$6,113

It is a true two-seater built for spirited driving, with a power-retractable hardtop and a modern infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It leaves over $60k of your budget unspent. It is the least powerful pick, so it only partly covers your performance priority.

Many shoppers with a $100k budget skip it, yet its steering and balance rival cars costing three times as much.

Its 495-hp V8 and mid-engine balance deliver the performance you want. The 2LT adds a big touchscreen, a head-up display, premium Bose audio and heated and ventilated seats, which cover tech and comfort. It is also a genuinely easy car to live with every day.

2024 Porsche 718 Cayman S

“The driver's car, perfected”

~$90,000

$1,679/mo

60 months at 6.9% APR

Interest$15,746

The mid-engine layout, 350-hp turbo flat-four and precise steering give you the most rewarding spirited drive here. Porsche's touchscreen system and a refined cabin cover tech and comfort, and the car has two trunks for real usability. Optioned sensibly, it stays under your $100k cap.

Many people assume the Cayman is a stripped-down Porsche, but it is arguably the best-balanced car in the lineup and a better daily driver than most rivals.
