2017 Porsche 718 Boxster & 718 Porsche Boxster S (982) TECH REVIEW (1 of 2)

After driving 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman S - the 982 - in Texas, MotoMan unpacks A LOT of technical changes between the 981 Porsche Boxster and the 982 Porsche Boxster 718. He starts with the most controversial - the switch to a boxer 4 cylinder turbo engine and then moves to key driving dynamics influences from the Porsche 991.2 and then culminates with a bit of Silicon Valley in the interior . . .

the man won't stop moving

[@nls8520]

Its hard to watch someone pace and rant in a video. Take a chill pill make the video enjoyable to watch, you have good knowledge to share.

[@bakhteria]

He is usually very pleasant. Maybe too much coffee

[@chrisdblue]

omg you are walking around this car! its too much !! im getting nauseous

[@silverfox7777]

cocaine

[@FishingforReel]

I respect your hard work👍

[@keviiinisnt]

The pacing around made this hard to watch.

[@pilot.ignacio]

Hi, I have a question! Does the 718 with 300hp ( not the s) makes povs when you downshift? I have one I and really don't hear them!

[@StreakingTiger]

Since you asked, here goes. I have owned my 2006 SLK350 HARDTOP convertible for 13 years. For 4+ years I have been considering buying a different car, just for a change. I was down to considering the BMW Z4 M40i, but then my son (who drives a 911 having moved from a BMW M3) suggested the Porsche as being the better option. I am now convinced that the 718 Boxster S is my #1 choice, if I could just afford it. It will be a PDK with Mahogany steering wheel and dash, white w/black interior. I prefer the hardtop, but nobody save C8 makes a hardtop convertible. My hardtop looks better IMO, and I still get compliments on my 16 year old car every month. Due to cost, it will be 1-2 years before I can afford the newer car.

[@homez1]

stand still. i get stressed!!!

[@Am1neee]

My future car no joke.

[@johnbarns7355]

i thought PDK is better than manual because it switches gears much faster, and gives a better drive experience, is PDK over manual a personal preference, or are there real reasons to favor one over the other? Nice video though.

[@perez5249]

Nice belt buckle👍🏼

[@keithbeef]

Your face was redder than the interior. You need a break from that sun ;)

[@MotoManTV]

Agreed!

[@ItsHatchetz]

😂

[@xkrnxboix]

So the base Boxster/Cayman comes with red brake calipers as standard now?

[@tonychiarizzi7574]

S Lee No. Base always had black calipers. S has red, and are larger

[@oliawak]

I know it's hot but stop walking around! Otherwise a great video and very informative thank you

[@ap4709pk]

You’ve gotta cut back on the caffeine. Nice review.

[@peters1437]

Yeah, decent information but his fidgeting walk around stresses me out. Please stop

[@redreadyj8916]

Or the drugs 😮

[@sadamrealg3517]

Theres no pdk version of this car ??

[@zerocapacitance1]

The best review I've seen ,would like more cutaways of the interior

[@TheShahiniFamily]

U Need to review the Q60S red sport Infiniti

[@genesis837604508]

you move too much.

[@RepentAndBelieveInGod]

Coffee

[@mikemccleve1330]

it looks like he has to pee lol

[@silverfox7777]

no coffee man, it is cocaine

[@whateverrrrrr123]

I drive a bmw520D and Renault Megane RS250Cup i would go for the Cayman GTS std Package in Miami Blue of the Bixster GTS std in Guard Red.

[@meone8949]

Does this guy have hyperactivity issues? How can anyone bear to watch this? Stand still guy!

[@lewissears2976]

whats the story behind the belt buckle? :D

[@MotoManTV]

It's a good one . . . Will cover in a coming episode . . .

[@vaajchang]

in September and release in Nov.

[@MotoManTV]

Mentioned in the episode. Did not shoot the FIRST DRIVE REVIEW at the same time hence the later release. Look for the FIRST DRIVE REVIEW in a red 718 Boxster coming up on Tuesday of next week that was shot in LA last week,

[@chrisogrady28]

No 3.2, no deal Porsche!

[@SuperEmlo]

Why Miami blue

[@mcopanzan]

Im getting dizzy... lay off the pep pills, huh?

[@JB_lifestyle_cars]

I really can’t stand this guy but he keeps jumping on my recommenced videos. Hi can I get this guy of my recommendations?

[@47thdarkdimension]

american accent and you said 'arse' - hahahahahaha

[@Eske.]

I'd win the lotto and buy a turbo s

[@patrickrk44]

Car owned= 2015 boxster gts in carmine optioned black rims with lip... Wouldn't drive this newer and faster version, I will Instead keep my na soul intact

[@ormand3000]

*981 not 982

[@Ukrainianification]

Go take a piss already stop moving. On another note I drove base model boxster last weekend for few hours and eventhou it handles decent and has acceptable amount of power it’s no where near what it should be considering the asking price. One redeeming aspect was that exhaust note in sport mode. Audio is absolutely autrocious in base form.

[@pimeye]

Like your style but suggest change to decaffeinated coffee before your next review.

[@gkk2001]

You know your car facts and many nuances quite well. But, and you heard it over and over, your not communicating well by dancing around non stop. It truly was nauseating and I had to stop watching before too long. Too bad. I suggest you consider a major shift in presentation approach.

[@andrewwitterstauter617]

Stand still for Pete’s sake!

[@kealahanover5146]

gniklaw pots

[@creativeplanet2820]

no flat 6 no buy :P ,nice review :*

[@mohawk5010]

Timing chain and water pump from the 991.2? Who cares?

[@Mike-dy8sj]
