Anything built from 2016 is the turbocharged 718 generation, which avoids the bore-scoring and IMS bearing history that concerns buyers of earlier naturally aspirated Caymans. On a turbo car, boost-related fault codes and intercooler condition are what to chase instead.
The Audi RS3 is a smaller, four-door alternative worth a look if two seats are not a requirement. The BMW 218 is far cheaper and reports less interior staining than expected, at 0% against 22% for coupes of similar age. The Ford Mustang is far cheaper still but shows more prior body or panel repair than expected, at 71% against 60% for muscle coupes of this age — worth reading the report on rather than assuming it matches the 718's own record.
The cars we inspect here run a median of around 66,000 km, which is unremarkable for a coupe that spends much of its life parked rather than commuting.
Every 718 Cayman we list carries a CarSwitch inspection report covering exactly these points, so the history is not a guess.
