Serving North Olmsted, OH
With style, grace, and abundant power, you cannot go wrong with either the 718 Cayman or the 718 Boxster. Right away, the Cayman impresses with a base power output of 300 horsepower and a top acceleration rate of 4.5 seconds. There are few changes in the Cayman for 2019 than in the past model year. It still seats two passengers, offers a luxurious cabin with high-end materials, provides exceptional steering and handling, and comes with refined powertrains. The 2019 Boxster is equally impressive with a flat-four cylinder turbo engine and plenty of speed. The Boxster features a quickly-folding soft top and signature Porsche styling that makes it great for a warm-weather getaway. For its looks and performance, the Boxster once again makes the list of Car and Driver’s “10 Best Cars” in 2019. As with the Cayman, the 718 Boxster gets few changes for the latest model year, with the exception that a sporty exhaust system, which was once optional, is now standard.
