The Top Gear Garage has just waved goodbye to a Porsche 718 Cayman. I was lucky enough to do rather a lot of the 11,421 miles it covered in its six months here, and I thought it"d be cool to take you through some of the many things the car did in that time.The car itself was an entry-level 718 Cayman, the cheapest Porsche you can buy new. To its 42,897 list price, Porsche had added nearly ten grand of options.There was stuff I"d add myself (torque vectoring with a mechanically locking diff, 926) and stuff I wasn"t so sure about (a heated multi-function steering wheel, 329). At 1767, its 20in wheels were the most extravagant extra. Crucially, it retained its fabulous six-speed manual gearbox, while I was a huge fan of its relatively subtle Night Blue paint.
