Porsche Boxster 2020 in-depth review | carwow Reviews

[@StrykerV8]

3.7 to 60 in a 4 cylinder. Amazing how quickly cars are progressing.

[@dogchainsaw3923]

StrykerV8 it’s not the 4 cylinder only it’s the transmission too!

[@stevenfarrington2361]

The 993 Turbo did 0-60 in 3.7s with 400hp and AWD, this car has 365hp and RWD but the benefit of PDK and launch mode

[@the1anonymouse]

@Damon Wayans unfortunately better, more efficient, and more powerful engines don't always mean better sound. Sports cars might not be making sound at all 5 years from now

I think Carwow should do reviews for classics as if they were new.. like a retro carwow sort of thing. Would be quite slick

[@veemacks7255]

There'd be no link to the buying-a-new-car-at-a-discount element of Carwow though.

Harry Collier why wouldn’t they lol? Not everyone who watches carwow watches it exclusively to buy cars.. its for entertainment just as much.

@@SyedShah-ox3ke You don't understand the Carwow business model. Are you new to Capitalism and "making a living" ?

[@SyedShah-ox3ke]

Vee Macks the more views the channel gets, the more beneficial it is for carwow. Like i said before, not everyone who watches these videos, watches it because they are going to buy the car.. a lot of it is down to Matt and entertainment purposes. Same way celeb endorsement (yianni) drives views to the channel, a retro car wow would do very well also. The more views they are, surely the more likely they are to convert that into a sale..

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

The only reason they exist and make these videos is to sell cars. That's like Walmart doing a commercial for something they don't sell. Not gonna happen.

[@swanblake]

I actually really do appreciate the exhaust note comparison. Many talk about it but never actually demonstrate it. Thank you

[@helenbach1870]

Blake Swan it’s not a fair comparison if they don’t give it the same amount of revs.

[@Robiig]

I’ve owned a 981 cayman S and now have a 718 cayman S. Unpopular opinion: The 718 engine note sounds great, its loud and cracks and pops. I’m constantly scaring my neighbours haha. I actually prefer it at low to medium revs than the 981 however the flat six is so much better in the high revs. I think the 718 is one of the best sounding 4 pots you can get.

[@Jcstuart1]

I attended a Porsche Experience track day recently and drove the following on the local road track: 911 GTS, 911T, Cayman S and Boxster GTS.. The Boxster was the best handling of the bunch (of course the 911 GTS had the most power). After my stint in the Boxster someone came up and asked me what I thought of the sound..Sound? I hadn't even thought about it. I honestly didn't even notice the sound at all. I was just having too much fun driving to care.

Thanks Matt for a lovely review. I have owned a 718 for over a year. I agree with all your comments except the basic sound system, which is my view of very good quality [I have owned multiple other cars with Bose or Bang & Olufsen]. This is more so because of the small cabin and the relatively noisy engine. Very enjoyable car

[@markdschedler]

Boxster’s are one of the few roadsters that can fit two sets of golf clubs and luggage for 2 for a weekend. The rear trunk exactly fits a Sun Mountain stand bag. The trick is the clubs hide behind the tail lights and you use one or two “summer bags” which have no metal spines. Titleist’s have two short “feet” to keep the bag off the ground that hook on to golf carts and push carts. Two summer bags give you extra room for more. My buddy and I do a winter golf trip and it holds our luggage with clothes for a few days and all the cold weather gear we need.

[@dsilvap]

You had the 718 in comfort mode, it sounds much better in sport mode

[@Motacyclist]

I thought that too. My 718 Boxster S sounds much more fruity in Sports mode than what I heard on the video. Note that in Sports Plus mode the exhaust is slightly less loud than Sports mode, and there are no pops and crackles.

3 years after watching this video, I went ahead and bought it

[@benpharrison]

Fairly good review. I have owned a 718 and now have a 981 Cayman. Both are great but the 718 was faster, more economical and the engine sound was fine - actually sounded great with sports mode on and sports exhaust system. The manual box wasn’t spoken about enough really and how great It is. I had a manual 718 now have a PDK 981 and both are amazing. As for the knocking of the passenger belt, yep that’s true and it’s so annoying...BUT the solution is to just pull the buckle up to the top of the belt reel and it stops making noise. Forget a crappy BMW Z4 or tacky boy racer Audi TT and do yourself a favour, buy a Boxster or Cayman - you won’t regret it. Once you test drive you’ll be sold.

[@BiscuitOath]

What made you go from a 718 to a 981? I'm debating getting a 981 now but am wondering if I'm better going with the 781. Am thinking the 981 might appreciate in value mind what with being the last flat 6.
