The clutch pedal is a bit hard with a small window, but so was the one on the old Fiesta ST I had- which model/make are you comparing it too?

@@theenglishdaniel4379 Mk3.5 Focus ST Was a little firmer than a standard focus to be expected . But this one on my Mk4 is a Foot buster. Get caught in Slow traffic and you’ll know with an aching arch or tenderised Achilles. As it happens I went to look at 2 69 plate today. One was a little springier than the other but both nothing like mine .

Does it still have guarantee? You could have Ford check it- maybe it’s been wrongly adjusted

It is very much enjoyable, thanks Jonny. I must admit that it was slightly funny when just starting the engine set off the alarm of a BMW 5 series on the other side of a car park the other day. I think that answers a lot of people‘s questions on whether the exhaust is loud enough :)

Hi Cayman 981, yes- I live in Germany- I personally am happy with the exhaust sound and probably won’t spend the 3 grand or so on a system with smaller or no backboxes. I‘d need to hear the latter live (ie. not just on video) to really judge the difference. The GT4 RS sounds better/more raw in my view, but it does also cost nearly twice as much and also has the GT3 engine, which revs ~1k higher

@@theenglishdaniel4379 thanks for yr opinion reading often that many install a tool to have the exhaust valves also open on low revs do you consider?

I wouldn’t consider this- I don’t tend towards software flashing, though have never done it. More likely to do something like that on my Ford first, if at all. I would like to hear the Akrapovic exhaust unit for the 718 GTS 4.0 live- maybe someone reading this has it. Belgium is not far away- do you know of any Cayman/718 meet ups in the region?

@@theenglishdaniel4379 I had same problem with my Cayman981 on which I wanted to install Akrapovic also…. Could not find any dealer to hear it on a car …

Which year is your car from? Do you have the 2.5 litre?

I believe you’re right, Wizz Pet

That will depend on when you order(ed) - I ordered in October last year and took delivery in February this year

This is without the lift

@@theenglishdaniel4379 thanks mate. So, no complaints about constant scrapping the front on speedbumps/driveways?

Depends on the height of the bumps- luckily not yet. I know a couple I certainly wouldn’t risk it on, but otherwise it’s the 911 /-Turbo /-S that usually has this issue, hence the front lift being configurable there

I haven’t put it on the scales yet, but they’re usually about 1.4 tonnes- registration papers say 1510kg when empty, so a little bit more than advertised

Hi Matthew, no I didn’t- I went and did a test drive in March 2021, then waited a while, and the quota for 2021 was full in October, I believe. So I took one of the first in the 2022 quota, ordering within the month

Hi Michael, you might be right there- it doesn’t really bother me, but it does need more adjusting than the auto climate control in the Ford. What else have you configured on your Cayman?

@@theenglishdaniel4379 As it's gonna be my daily driver, PDK is a must-have, also the parking assistant and 20 inch wheels. But much more doesn't make sense on the base model. I would always prefer a naked 4.0 liter naturally aspirated model over a fully equipped 2.0 turbo.

Nice :) That has the new big SYNC screen, doesn’t it- I think the X generally has more kit than mine

4 months

@@theenglishdaniel4379 Wow. That's super quick! I was told to wait for 12-16 months for mine. I'm only 4 mo in now... I'm so envious lol

Thanks :) It is indeed, but I need to wait til it’s fully run in before doing proper launches and full throttle. How did you configure yours?

@@theenglishdaniel4379 I got the same color combo, but went with the Carrera wheel painted gloss black. PDK, premium package, Nav, and memory seat with 14 way power seats. I wanted to get the PASM, but pricing was getting a bit out of control, which I’m sure you can relate to. LOL

@@theenglishdaniel4379 Nice car. I have a Shark Blue/Espresso Cayman GTS 4.0. This is my second Cayman, I owned the first one for 11 years and drove 130.000 miles in it. That 987 Cayman S PDK sounded much more raw than my current car.

Thanks Jonny- PDK for enjoyment/luxury, as I always drive manual otherwise. And because it can sound good when you do a couple of downshifts with the paddles. 18 months is a while- what region are you in? Wheel colour is platinum and other options are reversing camera, heated seats, GT steering wheel, overall model name delete

Hi Marc S, I’m not sure the dual zone would make a great difference, with the cabin being the size it is- especially when you already have cooled and heated seats. With the PDK configured on mine, I wanted to add a real lane change/assist system- this is not available on the Cayman though- only lane change warning light/tone in the mirror area, and adaptive cruise control- I should have ordered the latter. I personally wouldn’t want that lane change warning light every time someone drives by. When is yours planned for production, and what colour have you ordered? I think the silver wheels can look really good- they are also less sensitive to curbing

Für mich reicht das- mein Erstauto ist ein Ford. Ich kann auch dazu ein Video machen ;)

@@theenglishdaniel4379 nee alles gut, ich hab meinen auch nicht voll bestellt, bin auch noch weit unter 100k. Ich hab dich mal im anderen Video angeschrieben, findest du die Xenons ausreichend? Die laufen ja nur mit 25 Watt

Thanks Aymen :) It took 4 months

I’ll be honest: I haven’t checked that yet- will get back to you with the info asap

For me it's roughly 13-14l per 100km in sport (+) mode, including the occasional fun part. In a more restrained manner, less than 11l should easily be possible in normal mode, though.

@@hotte7595 not bad for a 4.0 thanks

Hi hotte75, Thanks :) Was considering shark blue but not sure how long that would have stayed novelty. The brakes only squeak when edging forward, ie. when only lightly on them. Do you mean that?

@@theenglishdaniel4379 Yes, right. However, it's getting worse by the day. It's pretty annoying to be laughed at when having to stop at some traffic lights, for instance... Hopefully, you will be spared!

@@hotte7595 Often there is a film on your rotors, perhaps some polish of some sort. Wipe them with brake cleaner, then go give it several hard stops. There are several other potential causes of squeaky brakes, none of which should apply to a brand new Porsche... uncool

@@hotte7595 i did a 200kmh-0 stop in my cayenne gts and the squeak disappeard😅😅

@@hotte7595 You have to get them hot at least once in a while. Then it get's better. When the car stands in the garage for a couple of days it starts all over again. It's only when you perform light braking. Brakes in the 991.2 GT3 RS are still squeaking even after 4 1/2 years now when I "want them to". And for the people who laugh at you - it's because racecar. Don't worry about such things.

Thanks Marvin- which region did you order in?

Hi Rob, ja auf jeden Fall- mir gefällt, wie das Auto von vorne mit den weissen Strichen unten (Blinklichter) aussieht- leuchten tut die Kombination absolut ausreichend
