Overview

2025 Porsche 718 Spyder

The 2025 Porsche 718 Spyder offers a raw, engaging driving experience for the enthusiast. Powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine and rear-wheel drive, it delivers potent performance. However, as a relatively new model year, comprehensive long-term reliability data is still emerging. The absence of recalls and complaints is unusual and limits definitive assessment, leading to a conservative reliability verdict. Fuel economy is as expected for a high-performance vehicle, with a combined 16 MPG. Buyers should be aware of the limited safety ratings, with the vehicle not rated in key NHTSA categories.

Critical Failure Risk

Some 718 models, particularly those with higher mileage or driven aggressively, can exhibit increased oil consumption. This is often related to internal engine wear or PCV system issues.

Early detection can help you avoid a $2,000-$5,000 repair.
