Design & Style

The stylish and modern exteriors of the 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman and the classy and edgy lines of the 2018 BMW 2-Series from the outside make both cars real winners. However, any car buyer will know how important it is to take a look at the inside of both vehicles before actually deciding which one to buy.

For the 2018 BMW 2-Series, except that it has patterned its interiors from its other brothers from the brand. This entry-level luxury car is then indeed a great find if you look at this particular aspect. Controls have been clearly labeled and it has front seats that are relatively painless. What makes it somehow questionable is the fact that the rear seats are made for smaller passengers because there is lower headroom at the back.

When you get inside the 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman, on the other hand, you will notice how the interiors have been copied from a more expensive model from the brand, that is, the Porsche 911. It is sporty which will definitely be a great choice for lovers loving the fast lanes. Materials are solid and impeccable, making it the right fit for those looking for a classy and comfortable choice.

Technology & Safety

If you want to know whether or not you are getting your money’s worth with a luxury car investment, it will be best to take note of technology and safety features. The 2018 BMW 2-Series is equipped with the keyless-entry ignition, a 6.5-inch infotainment screen that has the iDrive control, and the brand’s Connected Drive Telematics.

The 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman also has great features that you will surely love along the lines of technology and safety. Apart from standard front and rear parking sensors, it comes with power backrest adjustments too. It comes with a wider 7-inch touchscreen and is blessed with a 6-speaker audio system.

Performance

Both these cars are powerful and promising in terms of performance. The 2018 BMW 2-Series is blessed with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that can produce up to as much as 258lb-ft of torque and 248 horsepower. Its 2.0-liter, flat four-cylinder engine counterpart found in the 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman performs better, however, as it can produce up to as much as 280lb-ft of torque and 300 horsepower.

The Bottom Line
