Ive got the 4th gen Cayman purchased at the begining of this years Uk Summer. The car's performance is quite simply incredible. I looked at similarly priced hot hatches that offer better preformance figures and are designed well to be a decent competitor but decided against it. Im so glad i did. Residule prices remain quite strong, running costs are decent, maintenance, fuel & insurance, its cheaper to insure than my Q7. Its one of the only cars ive had when you are cruising the fuel gauge goes up. Tryes expect to pay around 450 for a set of rears and thats for p zeros which you will replace before the fronts not unless you are tracking. The positive attention was really nice too, from all ages people asking questions, kids taking photos it truly has been a joyful experience. It even gets the approval from the superbike fraternity which suprised me. Forget anything else that you may have your eye on, test drive one and you'll be smitten. I covered 10'000 miles in mine this year bringing my total to 24k on the clock not once did it misbehave but does get a bit skittish around the 170mph mark analysing this characteristic its not a straighline car but a cornering machine supplying you with mountains of confidenxe with its capabilities, the feedback you get is rewarding which only puts a smile on your face wether driving or looking at it while having a coffee and seeing other people enjoy it from afar. Stay safe and all the best 👍

I mean its fairly simple. Do you do track work? Time trials? Auto cross? If so PDK. Do you drive roads for fun? If so Manual. PDK cannot be beat for competitive times and the manual cannot be beat for addictive smiles. Either way you win.

That butt is the best looking ever, but looking at the side and front of the 964....that is the winner for me. They should have just put that 993 rear on the 964....they still could ? Are they going to build a 994 ? or 965 ? They''ll break all records on the presales....

I am next in line on the allocation list for the 2025 911 GTS T-Hybrid cabriolet. I turned down an allocation for a Euro delivery between Nov '24 to Jan 2025. Awaiting one for May 2025 Euro delivery. The dealer salivates for a trade-in of my 2015 Boxster GTS. No way! Your reviews are great, this one in particular.

The 987 Spyder is a Gen2 987 Boxster so has a DFI engine. The comments about the two big issues being RMS and Bore Scoring applied to the Gen 1 987. Not the Gen 2. Great video, but I wish people would get the details right.

Great vid! I too own a red 991.1 GTS. Agree on all points. Key - daily driver with the sport feel and sound. A couple of more things... 1. Centerlock wheels - makes it a but harder to find wheels out of box, less options 2. As you point out, oem aluminium wheels prone to bending (a good reason to have 2 sets! Get something else! Anodyne/silver retro 5 spoke). The oem do look great though. 2. Bolt on upgrades - intake/exhaust a breeze. Take advantage of the NA motor 3. Pcm (infotainment) for me left much to be desired. Looks like suncoast has an upgrade now though to the superior 991.2 version. Sound itself with bose is pretty good. Buy a phone mount though. 4. Ducktail looks great on it and - i think techart has the best aero kit 5. Not a huge fan of the steering wheel, i'm looking to upgrade to 991.2 multi function with sport selection 6. 3 drive modes, daily, 'sport' - for spirited street driving and 'sport+' for tracking

The insanity of the climate hoax is fleecing the taxpayers and limiting their access to new products and innovations. It’s going to bankrupt the industry and hand over the markets to the communist Chinese. What corrupt fools they are and even if they do go through with the netzero stupidity it won’t have any measurable impact on the earth’s temperatures. In fact, they can’t even tell you what the world’s temperature is, nor what’s the optimal temperature we should be attempting to hit. It’s to the point of national suicide all the whole our adversaries laugh at us as we head into self destruction and plan to inherit control of the global economies and manufacturing, all without firing a shot. This tiny example where sports cars are involved illustrates just how mad European EU governance has become. God help us - literally - as only the creator can save us from these woke, evil, elitist.
