Driving a manual vehicle can definitely be a more rewarding experience, but in terms of technology It is definitely vastly inferior to an automatic or cvt transmission.

[@TRZ0612]

Congrats man!!! The damping looks amazing from what I could see on the camera, looks like it instantly and quickly resettles from bumps, no secondary motions. I’m ordering the 2021 PDK version, should be a bit quicker and easier to stay in the powerband.

[@BecksDrives]

The sound of a Porsche flat 6 is so intoxicating, it's glorious. I hope that I one day get to experience driving a Porsche myself, I won't die a happy man until that happens. Congrats on the success of your channel. 👍

[@UTubeSL]

Hi, if you live in the UK, there's the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone which is brilliant!

[@jamesmcgrew7531]

Have to say one of the most balance exciting cars I've ever owned. I owned a 2008 Cayman S and it was just incredible to drive. I installed a Fabspeed exhaust with electronic valves and the sound was incredible. I would only listen to the radio when the car was sitting still. Other than that it was the exhaust, motor and transmission was all I wanted to hear. Just listening to the motor right behind you was like music. Going through the gears was never boring. Regret to this day that I got rid of it.

[@realkingrav2265]

I’m planning to get the Base Porsche 718 Cayman in just under 1 1/2 years. Does it have ambient lighting?? I really hope it does

[@kgthegreatone943]

One of my favorite cars

[@MrNemo721]

This one a sure future collector classic

[@slaWterCH]

Now the car matches the title and again, congrats on 200k 😉 I have this car for close to a year now and put around 15000km on the clock once our driving season started. Mainly Swiss Alps and Black Forest. Love it. Just the perfect size and power for technical roads.

[@TheTopher]

Haha, thanks for the heads up on that one!

[@enerji-]

I love how it cuts to clips of the exterior whenever he is speeding hahahaha

[@JamieToddBand]

Yeah, I'd toss my Type R just for the sound of this exhaust. Serious looking car too.

[@driver8M3]

nice color combo.

[@thevaughnshow]

My favorite part of the day when driving my 718 is taking the freeway on-ramp with nobody in front of me as fast as I want. I just have to reel it in at the end of the ramp because it’s so easy to be North of the speed limit before I enter the freeway. 😂. I’d be giggling nonstop if I did the same thing in a GT4.

[@marvinguzman924]

It's funny to me how we all get a kick out of watching a stranger drive an expensive car through a youtube screen.. lol nice.

[@lockwoodhunt4728]

This and a gt3 rs would be my dream combo

[@gt3fft177]

Wish there was a bit more description on how it sounds. Is it an emotional sound, does it need an exhaust, is the US version better sounding because it doesn’t have an OPF.

[@iCSRify]

How is the ride re comfort? Could you drive it as daily? Is it harsh on the street for normal driving?

[@hirzaahmadmutahari6987]

The special thing for me on this one, its manual

[@ZDY66666]

Hey Topher a question for you! Do they sound as good compared to 981 GT4 or even 981 GTS (which I've found to sound better than 981 GT4 only because I like pops)? Additionally, how does it sound compared to the GT3? In terms of pitch and volume (I'm assuming GT3 is higher pitched and louder, but by how much) I'm so conflicted between which of these 3 cars to go for or keep...I'm a big sound guy. If the car doesn't sound good i just can't get into it no matter the speed (like a 570s, could not enjoy it..)

[@sanzserif]

Ive driven both. 718 does not sound nearly as good as the 981. Much deeper, doesnt howl like the 981 GT4.

[@wzk9071]

do you mind doing a review of a Toyota Vios 2020? would appreciate it!

[@TTGamingTrinh]

Such a beautiful car 🔥

[@ajaykaushik2272]

[@MrCarGuy]

I miss the audio from the older engine but, man, can you imagine how the GT4 RS could improve on this?

[@Cryptiiix]

Difference between GT3 and GT4? Both look hella fun, my dream cars for sure

[@bobbybooshay5854]

Gt3 is based on the 911 which means it's rear engined. Gt4 is based on the cayman which means it's mid engined.

[@parmeetbaweja5231]

Enough power, lighter weight, more precise handling, cheaper to buy and track, unless you're rich its a no brainer, gt4

[@Question.Authority]

@@ricardorodrigues3508 more precise handling? I think GT3 does everything better and the sound is much better. A used 991 GT3 is aß expensive as an new cayman gt4

[@WilliamLevesqueineX]

I just hate how long the gearing is. It juuuust about work in the GT3, but this doesnt have enough torque and it's nerfed by it. Probably to make sure it's slower than a 911.

So - GT4 or GTS (loved the GTS review you did) - for pure road driving and just taking a spin a couple of times a month. Is the GT4 too raw and the GTS is borderline as good for bringing a smile to your face? Is the GT4 worth the extra.
