Seems fine to me, yes touch sensitive buttons on the steering wheel is a gimmick and designed by someone whos never actually driven a car but the rest is ok and relatively easy to use.

I imagine the Cayman GTS is at least 150 - 200% more fun that the S2000. I feel like I want a Cayman S / GTS / GT4 because I think it should be way funner than the S2000 but I also fear that it's one of those cars you experience then let go.

If I get a used Cayman, the S2000 goes
Different types of fun to me. Model 3 has no fun so count that out. Is the Cayman GTS really more fun than a GTI? Around city streets, probably not. Backroads/track use? Confidently 200% more fun.

718s in a perfect world is something you drive everyday and enjoy the shit out of while doing normal things like going to eat/groceries/work etc, and then with no changes can drive straight to rip up the track and set PBs. Unfortunately after tracking it, to me street driving is less fun because you know the limits are so unfathomably higher than what you can use it for on the streets. As much as people say mileage doesn't matter and all the girlfriends being saved for next guys jokes, even if it doesn't matter from a financial perspective its the feeling that additional mileage is being wasted by driving around the street.

That's where I'd argue that maybe an S2000 or GTI or STI is more fun on the street.

That being said...I do have a 718 Cayman S in 6mt coming in on trade
