Worth knowing
- Many buyers dislike the sound of the four-cylinder. Six-cylinder models cost much more but hold their value better.
- Budget for real running costs: performance tires often cost $1,200 to $2,000 a set and can wear out in 15,000 miles, and brakes cost more to replace.
- It requires premium fuel.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Target the 718 S: its 2.5-liter turbo adds meaningful power over the base 2.0. Enthusiasts favor the GTS 4.0 from 2020 for its flat-six sound.
