I’ve been a fan of Porsche since my early years. What really got me purchasing the Boxster over 911 was a statement I read somewhere “Boxster/cayman is a platform Porsche wants to make. 911 is a platform Porsche have to make”

Jay Leno said something similar…..if Porsche had the chance to start over with the 911, it would be mid engine.

@@foxlake6750 yep. The GT3 911s (the race ones, not the road versions) are mid-engined. Also they have some other 718 features like flatter headlights.

His humor, candor, and enthusiasm are spot-on. And as a 718 owner for the last year, I can thoroughly attest to the description of the car Thomas uses most: "Wow".

[@sulaimanashiq8475]

flawless review. both models look STUNNING and ICONIC in their own way. keep it up Thomas. the force is still in you

[@paulpak1]

Wow! Well done, Thomas. That was a brave verdict. Objectively speaking, I'd go with the 718 as well. I'd also recommend getting a 981 series car used. 90% of the technology but with the normally aspirated flat-6. Both are great generations of the same concept. The 911 is of course the most iconic, but at an incredibly high premium nowadays. Unfortunately, Porsche has decided to take the 911 into the Aston Martin direction in terms of prestige over accessibility to the "average" buyer. I think you summed it up best when you said that you'd take 2 of the boxsters instead of the one 911 based on price. Of course, as a Cayman 981 owner, my comments are a little biased. ; ) Keep up the great work!

[@clu4u]

I’m down with you, 981 Spyder here. Not only is it a head turner, but guys actually compliment the car when I’m getting in or out when parking. I loved my 987 S as well, 144,000 miles of smiles on that one.

[@WanderingFriar]

@@clu4u Wow! 981 Spyder! I missed out on a Speed Yellow 981 Spyder but have a 981 GTS. I'm sorry to say the 718 is not a patch on the 981. I had one as a courtesy car from my OPC and couldn't wait to bring it back. It sounded asthmatic and even worse the faster you go. I would have hated myself if I got one. The 981 GTS.... Awesome! Even the 911, the best ones are upto the 991 Gen 1, not after. Drove a 2022 911 on Saturday and was very underwhelmed, my pal who owned it could not believe the sound and the way my GTS drove. I had to pry my keys of the guy! 🙂

[@nigel.w]

I agree that it was brave of Thomas. I also agree with the verdict, objectively speaking, even though I dislike the 2L 718 (I could live with the 2.5 if I had to). Best bang for the buck is certainly the 981 S. IMO, the premium for the 981 GTS is too much, but great car. However, for me, I think the 911 991.1 S/4S is the best bang for the buck 911, and is my personal preference. Still modern, yet classic, still relevant. 981 still modern and relevant, too, IMO. I do like the 992, but I agree that its price premium is hard to justify versus the 718, especially vs the 4L variants. Nonetheless, when compared with cars for the same money, the 992 range still represents good value for money.

[@oliverthemog3525]

First and foremost, your reviews are brilliant Thomas! Love the enthusiasm. :) Apologies if this was mentioned but the T has Sport Chrono as standard. It's essentially a GTS with a 2.0, IMHO. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@maxmartz4665]

718 is my choice. Keep 19in wheels and it is a GT car. Wind control of the Boxster is better too. Very quiet cockpit. Love both though the 911 is bigger than I need.

Excellent comparison/review. I took delivery of a new 2019 Cayman 8 weeks ago. Just clocked up 2000 miles tonight. I am more than pleased with my purchase. The 911 is outside my price range so very interesting comparison for me as I cannot compare both myself. Thank you.

[@peterpoppe4855]

The same goes for me : I have a 718 Boxster. Would love to have a 911 but also out of my price range. I would like to test the 992 as well (I will do this once the manual gearbox is out), but I must say the Boxster is a superb car. I don't think you get more fun in the 911 for that extra money...

[@autogefuehl]

Btw I would take the T or the GTS, so much easier with the automatic soft top!

[@williamtrevor9210]

The GTS gains the more instant low end punch, better for realistic daily driving country roads or towns; loses the better sound of the 4.0. I think Porsche designed the 2.5 litre not primarily for economy/emissions reasons, but for the utility of not having to get to higher revs for everyday driving conditions. Better driveability 99% of the time. And they both have near equal 4.0/4.5 - zero to 60 times auto/manual. As with the 911 vs Boxster, it's the status of the 4.0 vs. better driveability of the 2.5.

Original 911--ignition key left of the steering column so that drivers could jump into the cockpit and start the car instantly while doing so. Modern 911--wait 10 seconds for the infotainment system to boot. What irony. Great review, demonstrating that the 718 is now the real Porsche, staying more true to the philosophy of a lighter, nimbler sports car.

[@SuperKROKODILEN]

Have a look at the Boxter-Cayman between the years 2013 > 2016 (second generation). Observe the headlights are mor 'standing up' in comparision with the earlier iterations and the 718 range. The whole front looks more agressive.

[@tomagotchi1956]

Excellent review! Not often we see the 911 and 718 head to head. There is a (false) perception I think sometimes that 911 buyers don't cross-shop with the 718. On a side note, I find it incredible that it takes that long for the infotainment screen to warm up. Any Ford or Honda would be instant on. And "weak battery" from just using the PCM? Are you kidding? Hopefully Porsche will iron these bugs out soon. No way is that acceptable in a 150K car.

Hello Thomas! This was a great video. At the end of the day you can get two 718 cars for less than one 911. It's an easy decision. I drive my 718 Cayman every day and often for 3 or more hours in one trip - I find it very comfortable, so I don't (personally) agree about the seats. The main thing is that it is HUGE fun to drive. And 35 mpg! And with the boot space in the front and the rear, I can do a weekly shop for the whole family too. I think it is a truly great car. I know it is a 4 pot but I am OK with that. It sounds good to me. And I can annoy the neighbours :-)

thanks James!

This report was very helpful as I'm on the verge of replacing my Cayman of 2016 and the last of its breed, a 6-cyl natural aspirated engine for a 992 Carrera. After this report, I will keep my Cayman. The dream is to see the 718 GT4 new 4-litre natural aspirated engine replacing the 2.5 litre 4 cyl in the current GTS.

Great review, bravo! I was looking for a comparison between the 718 and the 911 just to convince even more myself on my choice as I got a 718 S last year. I have never experience such handling on this car category, it is orgasmic. Thanks for the review

[@nigel.w]

S is a much better car than T.

[@MostCedric]

I agree with Thomas’s conclusions. Perhaps the ultimate combo is MX5 and GT4.

[@ebu3455]

Almost have ultimate combo Mx-5 and 718 Boxster. Believe me Mx-5 is more fun to drive.

Great review, I'm about to replace my BMW M4 Competition with a 718 Cayman GTS in Carmine Red (PDK). Hope I don't live to regret it, I'm sure I won't as it will be my first Porsche ever having had several ///M Cars. Looking forward to driving a true sports car! :)

[@sevesellors2831]

Great video Thomas both truly wonderful cars I think the 718 GTS 4.0 would be my choice. The rear is nicer too.

[@sonalpatel5974]

Thanks for the review as I was on the fence between the two. I will definitely go Boxster :)

[@JingoLoBa57]

Good job. Talking more a little about the suspension and ride experience in both units in each mode gives us more idea of the comfort vs performance and the balance vs road conditions how different conditions will feel. Thanks again great job I’ll take two 718’s his and hers for the price of the 911!

Wonderfully balanced review…loved it!

[@autogefuehl]

cheers feel free to share =)

I get that the 911 is a dream car for many people…..I’ve driven both at Porsche track days and the Boxster/Cayman is more fun. Also, on the track the Boxster/Cayman gives more confidence and easier to drive fast. The performance between a Boxster/Cayman and a 911 at the track was not as great as you would expect.

[@TheMystro1971]

Long time 911 owner. The new 911 has been made to be like a MB SL. From my test drive of the new 992 it is a ghost of what it once was. My issue with the new 992 is it’s just too big. The new 911’s look fat and obese instead of muscular. It’s huge compared to the air-cooled 911’s and lots bigger than the water cooled 996/997 yet there is no more usable space? The Cayman is really the best drivers car but Porsche will never let the Boxster/Cayman advance beyond the 911 and that is why Porsche has become their worst enemy. Build materials in the new 992 is cheap and Porsche’s option list and prices are ridiculous even by Porsche standards. The center console design is a train wreck and the square robot penis gear shifter is not helping. You can forgive these shortcomings in the SUV and Panamera models but now they have infected the 911 line. Ugh.. The 911 is now way overpriced for what it is and how it is built. I am replacing my 911 with a “M Car”. The review as always is the best online. You are professional and look at a car the way a experienced owner would. Great job.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks so much for the profound feedback!

[@vanceshaw3675]

Great commentary Mystro TY! As a long time 993 owner I totally agree on the oversized recent 911s.

[@supersonicboy75]

Thank Mystro, great comments. When you say M Car do you mean the BMW M-cars? Is a BMW M anywhere close to a Porsche. To me, seems to be sporty saloon only?

[@paull3179]

The back of the 911's and Cayennes are quite fat and ugly. The rear looks like it was designed with help from Lincoln. I am currently getting used to a 991S cabriolet which feels quite large but very enjoyable with the sport exhaust and powerful enough to spin the rear wheels even after it is moving at 30mph.. I just switched from a 9974s. Yes these are the best reviews on youtube. For daily use i have an overpowered tuned S4 which is my favourite car.

[@hardtimesbbq5265]

Great evaluation, thanks for the video! Price difference is huge!

[@11jdstein]

Really appreciate the detailed comparison. I'm driving a 2018 718 Boxster and deciding whether to get another 718 when the lease is up or upgrade to the 911, so many of the questions you addressed were how I wanted to compare the two. Perhaps including a few track laps would make the review complete...?

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! We do have track time here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2nYXp1sec5_Z7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2LaiqaemLWgptk

[@11jdstein]

@@autogefuehl I do appreciate the links, thanks. I was more so looking for a track comparison between these two cars.

[@nateisright]

I’ve driven 911, Boxster, and Cayman. The handling limits of the mid-engine layout are so high that it feels like a momentum car. You just don’t seem to need much power to turn low lap times. That said, the 911 feels like a car that has been getting better for 6 decades. It sounds, drives and feels like a flagship car. Brutally quick, but feels so competent and solid, like acceleration is just a minor talent. You can cover distances with almost no effort or fatigue. The controls are so precise in each car. If you want to effortlessly tour,get the 911. If you want to feel the speed, get the 718.

[@WirzWorld]

Have owned both and also prefer the Boxster. 981 is favorite Great video

[@autogefuehl]

Thank you so much! Please recommend / share our channel and our videos 🙏

[@snoopy10411]

I think the Boxter would be all the car I need given the price difference and the fact that I love in a country with speed limits, even the entry level Boxter is excessive in terms of performance. I'd probably be using the car as a weekend/summer toy for quick blasts or maybe a short break away to somewhere nice with the wife. I like 911's but my head would overrule my heart.

[@mrmrkidd]

Great review

[@MrAsphalt01]

Great review. And indeed, I do have two Boxsters... 😊

[@autogefuehl]

😎

[@artadams5644]

I disagree on the seats. I drove 1,330 miles in 4 days in my 718 Boxster base. Very comfortable, no back problems.
