992 over 991 no doubt about it. Drive both and you will know. 992 looks and drives a lot better than 991.

991.1 C2 manual with sports plus all the way. I can attest.

981 GTS with PTV, PSE, SC and PASM - absolute blast

Just sold my McLaren 600LT and bought a very low mileage 997.2 manual with brilliant drivers spec, this is the sweet spot, modern day classic, far more engaging than the 991/992, at half the price of a new 992, it’s a no brainer 👍

Bought mine for 3 years ago. Much of body and frame parts are from the 911. Holding its value great also! The sound is epic, pops and bangs 😊 I have +10 horses xtra from (power kit) Porsche, rather rare i think. Its a keeper! Thx for upload 😊

A very useful video comparison,and very enjoyable.

I nearly bought a 991.2 Carrera T recently but the horror stories of blown turbos put me off, kept my 997.2 instead.

The green really suited the 993, I’m not so sure on the 992. But each to their own. The 991 looks so much prettier than the 992, especially being a wide body.

21:10: Why does everyone think the 992 is so much bigger? Sure, all versions are wide bodied now. But among the wide bodies, there is next to no difference in length or width since the 996, nearly 30 years ago. That was the big jump over the "small" 993.

Great video Raj - timely for anyone considering a 991.1 vs 991.2/992 especially the turbo issue. As a 991.1 owner I approve this video

Possibly the worst color combo on a 992!

997.2 any day. The best

991.2 is probably the best choice. With easily tunable turbos, but with the best mix of analogue and digital. Nicer looking too I feel than the 992.

Clean car and nice new screen, any bore issues?

Funny how I love the Porsche brand but I have zero interest in the 992 generation. The bulbous looks do absolutely nothing for me and if I won one tomorrow I’d sell it and get a 2015 991.1 GTS

Great comparison Raj! I sense you still prefer the 997.2 😊

HI Raj is the apple car play upgrade Porsche or aftermarket any idea of cost

Another excellent video, thanks Raj

Thanks Raj, excellent video......i have the same system (BOSE) but l dont understand why everytime l get in the car and turn on the stereo l find my Treble 3 Bass 3Fader 2 Surround sound ON😂 settings have been lostt and seem to be all lost and defaulted back to 0 0 0 and Surround sound OFF, get a bit of a pain having to set up my levels everytime l get back in the car, im guessing it shouldn't be doing this? But cant understand what im doing wrong.........any ideas of things l can try?.....thanks in advance Tom

it’s funny like I always fall for that hatchback feature - Z4 Coupe E86 then F-Type and newest Supra and now that Targa 997

I have a 981 S. The styling both inside and especially outside really separates the two. I just don't like the older rear whereas the 981 added a sharpness and masculinity to the design which I love.

Really nice colour, what is it? Is it geysergreymetallic?

Hi thanks for this video. I have just upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro and was interested in the device you recommended on Amazon to allow bluetooth audio. Can you send a link please? Managed to find a universal audio cable for iPhone X which uses lightning cable but now the new iPhones have USB-C.

Other than repurchasing from previous customers, where do you normally buy your stock from? Auctions?

What’s the unit you mentioned that plugs into radio for the phone

Love this car.

981 als doesn’t suffer from bore scoring.

I won't ever get this issue. Car never goes out in bad westher

I’ve had my 981S Cayman for 10 months. Bought it as a more modern similarly priced alternative to a 997.1; it perhaps has less drama than an older 911, but that’s because it’s so good, so well balanced, and gives nothing away in terms of performance. Friends who have both 911s (991, 997) and Caymans talk about the Cayman handling like it’s on rails, whilst the 911 feels heavier, and by comparison and “handles like a truck”. The Cayman is also a very practical car for luggage with the hatchback, particularly when parked nose in to my relatively small garage. If you have the PDK version, though, get it converted to paddles. The gearbox is excellent but the wheel rocker switches some cars have are rubbish. Paddles transform the driving experience. Useful video, and thanks. But please do something about the microphone.

I have a Racing Yellow 981S fully loaded … it’s an amazing car, tried a few 997 before , but the Cayman S was the one for me. Would take a special deal to get me out of it.

I’m picking up a 981 Cayman next week all being well. It’s only a 2.7 base Cayman but is a manual. It’ll be used as my daily alongside my 992 GTS. I can’t wait to get it and start enjoying it. Videos like this just helps cement my decision to go for it. 😊

I bought my 981 Cayman since May 2024 and it has never skipped a beat unlike my 987.2 Cayman that had to go in the garage every month for one issue or the other hence I sold it back to the Indy Porsche. The 981 is a solid car better than the 987.2 mainly in the chassis. I even prefer the electric power steering in the 981 with the gt4 mods, the 981 snaps into position with the agility of a mosquito, the hydraulics in the 987.2 loads up better but it has a slower rack. The 981 is one of the best sounding Porsches on the road, then the economy almost doubles the 987.2. Matt from RennSport Porsche Care in Stevenage said that the 981 is the most reliable Porsche from their vast experience and I can attest to that. Thanks Raj that my favourite colour guards Red!🎉

Have a 981s cayman and it’s is a pure joy, manageable costs, great performance and still very modern looks. I love it as much as any of my other more expensive cars. A future legend.

Thank you for taking this detailed video, especially hosting such an informative website with official documents as well.

Love my 2015 981 Boxster, a few quality of live upgrades in the cabin such CarPlay and S/Wheel update make it such a joy to own & drive. Highly recommend either a Cayman or a Boxster. Just a choice of top down driving or not 🤔

Totally agree Raj, the 981 Boxster shares the same platform and performance. The 981 has a good reliability record with required maintenance, the issues from earlier models 986/7 being resolved. That sound from the flat 6 is just fantastic (mic. was a bit patchy). Happy New Year from Canada 🇨🇦.

I bought my 2006 Cayman S in 2014 for $25K. It had 79k miles and no one was saying a word about bore score. It is now 10 years later with 114k miles and it uses no oil and runs like a maniac. Fear really has scared people away from these great cars. Sad.

Buying an older car is always a crapshoot. I personally assume the worst when it comes to engine condition. Almost nobody is honest when it comes to the car's overall condition, if they are the seller. No matter the make, buying a later model is always the smart move. Of course most people hang on to the newer stuff.

What are these wheels called? And would they look nice on a 4S coupe you think? Thank you

Superb vid. I’ve learnt more about my car now. Thanks pal

Actually the way that is shown that’s an old measurement. In order to get a current measurement the car has to be driven like you said until it’s up to temp for me it 194deg coolant temp and 165 degrees oil temp. After it’s up to temp you have to open the rear trunk/boot for 45 seconds until the dash says cannot read oil level at this time. After the 45 seconds close the trunk turn the key on engine off and wait 1 min while on the oil screen and the oil level will update with the current fill level. If you just open the oil menu it’s just and old measurement. It will not update unless you go through the process.

Great video for potential new Porsche owners.

Good video 😊

Thank you, I thought I was going to have to fit new "tyre pressure monitors" or stick a bit of tape over the warning light till I put the next tyres on. Cheers!

Just bought a 2017 and I need new lenses. I hope I can find a place within a few hours

Stunning

These Macans look like becoming a staple for your channel. Love anything Porsche

Its likely the video but it looks a red,/orange not bright red.?

Delish!
