Dan Drives His First P-Car! | Porsche Cayman S (981) In Depth Review

On this episode, I explore the reason behind people's love for Porsche. Besides driving a base Macan at a dealership, this is this first "real" Porsche I've ever driven. So I hope it lives up the hype and my expectations.

What do you guys think of the new grading system? Do you agree with our score on the car? Let us know.

[@hasanm3707]

I didn't like it, I think it changed the structure of the videos and the delivery, which was better/more interesting before. Keep up the good work.

[@PatsGarageOnline]

@@hasanm3707 I agree.

[@FCTDmotorenvy]

@Hasan M Thanks for the feedback. Did you get a chance to watch last week’s acceleration video of the Porsche Cayman S? That’s more the original style. With this system, we wanted to delve deeper into reviews and be more concise. That said, I think a combination of multiple formats will keep things fresh (hopefully).

[@ezekielvaldez5517]

Nice delivery of content. I thought the grading system was useful, for those more numerically inclined. Thanks for the content

Dude, I really like your car review videos. It isn't an annoying in your face screaming excited millennial review. It's proper, calm, mature and cinematic experience that i can sit down, listen to, and enjoy. Useful information, Beauty shots, and your own opinion. 10/10 on these videos keep it up.

[@moritakashi38]

I think the new review system is pretty genius. It makes the channel more versatile. Gives it more depth I think. Couple that with the quality of the work, it's gonna go big in no time.

That grading system and cinematography is so neat. I really like this type of videos, thank you for that.

[@ae981s]

Everyone at work thinks my 981S is a better looking car than my colleague's 911. PSE(Porsche Sports Exhaust) def takes the 981 to another level. It's one of the modification I've done with my 981S. Great review!

[@bsb6350]

Pretty sure he had the PSE on it? and was complaining about the exhaust sound? Im considering getting one but want that quality sound?

[@kickyadick]

Clever analogy for the base steering wheel, I can’t believe Porsche made those thing all the way even to the end of 981.2 and 991.1 lifespan.

[@honiballist]

1:07 the puppy in the window really likes it too.

[@jehl1963]

I think you undersell the Porsche Aftermarket -- especially if all that you consider is exhaust and intake tuming. Many 911 or later model Cayman parts will bolt right on to this car. If you want to swap a GT3 front suspension and a GT4 rear suspension on to the car -- you can buy the parts from countless suppliers, or even Porsche itself. The same for even Ti-connecting rods, and everything in between. You can get decades of race prep and hot-rodding guidance at a number of excellent forums - with very little attitude (not to mention -once again - support from Porsche itself). The aftermarket (and Porsche itself through the Heritage Product line) also supports all Porsches going back 70 years. The Porsche Club in the US and other countries is second to none compared to other car clubs for activities and support. From autocrosses to Carrera Cup you'll have a place to race. You should also check out the fan support and corral at sports car races! Have you been to a Rennsport Reunion?!

[@jacktorres3662]

Glad to see you back on the channel!

[@yennyzheng2629]

The quality of filming on this is amazing!! Great work!

[@100thomasmagnum]

All I can say is another excellent, unbiased and accurate review. I just happen to have a 2014 981S. I must say, your assessment is right on. Although Porsche has the car at 325 HP. So far, I have had no issues with the car other than regular maintenance and it is always "properly" driven. Job well done. P.S. - I like those shirts. I'm going to order one, haha.

[@RuTube981]

I've had my 981 cayman s for two years now. Mine has a sports exhaust and a manual transmission. Best car I've ever driven. Hands down.

[@davidreyes4231]

Agree completely. I love the manual and have no experience with the automatic but I probably never will.

[@bsb6350]

Hey Bro, nice car, I'm in Perth, currently have a tuned Audi A7 but considering getting the Cayman 981, considering getting the "S" or do you recommend get the standard and put and get the S exhaust system on it like you, which may work out cheaper? I actually wanted a 2015 RS7 because i wanted a v8 roar but it seems like these Caymans sound good? Hard to tell on just hearing from the vids, haven't driven one yet only just decided today that this might be my next car

[@RuTube981]

@@bsb6350 Yeah I'd definitely go with an S. The standard car only has 275hp. Sounds great but I just feel like it's super under-powered. The S has just the right amount at 325, and it's super light, at 2900lbs so it still corners in its sleep. I haven't found a base cayman with the sports exhaust but here's a vid from my channel where you can hear mine. kzbin.infoi3qh2al9LsY Definitely worth getting the S. I still have it and it runs great. Not terrible maintenance costs either. I've had it for 6 years now.

[@bsb6350]

@@RuTube981 ​ @RuTube981 thanks for your response , exhaust sounds great, sounds like you get some nice crackles and burps and well which i know some people don't like but i love. I wil see if i can find one to test drive in the near future as a starting point. Looking for something around 2014 /2015 with about 60,000 km as it then becomes a little more affordable and less guilt on a big spend. Other sports cars that i feel are in the similar price range with great power is the Jaguar F Type R (V8) and the Lexus LC 500 also a V8 , both have nice designs and lots of luxury inside BUT something about that timeless look of a Porsche just makes me feel this is something i need to buy and hopefully just keep forever, also feel this car might even go up in value in the future and also become a "cult" classic. The Lexus has a vibe of a "retired Dentists car" and im just not sure the Jag is a wise choice. Ive recently turned 40 and still young at heart and before everything turns electrical, i really want to enjoy some sporty engineering but want to enjoy decent sound , hence my question on the exhaust. Appreciate your time.

[@RuTube981]

@bsb6350 I'll tell you I can sell my car for more than I bought it and I bought it certified pre-owned 6 years ago. Their value will only go up as the cayman after mine got a disgusting 4 cylinders and the new cayman after that will be all electric. The 981 s flat 6 is the best sounding flat 6 porsche ever made, as even the new 911s don't sound as good what with all the emissions and stuff.

[@Time_Attack_S]

I rented a 981 Cayman GTS with the manual transmission through Turo two years ago and absolutely loved it. Very engaging and that flat six made such a wonderful sound. Can't go wrong with a Cayman! Also, I like your grading system.

[@Chris-nj1mr]

Superb content as always, mate. I've just put a deposit down on a 981 CS with all the options (basically a GTS without the premium) and I can't wait to pick it up.

It was nice to turn on the computer today and see a new 981 review. I have a 2015 981 Cayman S with a lot of options. I love it but I still think it was overpriced at $87k. I added Soul Performance headers with 200 cell cats paired with the Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE) and it makes one helluva difference in the exhaust note. It also adds a bit more power. In Sport +, it literally screams. But, I think the new C8 is going to wind up being a much better value. I also think that is why Porsche did an about-face and will now have the 4.0 in the GTS and not just the GT4.

[@LexusUltimate]

[@mikeymonty]

Bravo from a new 987.2 owner ... Great review!

[@sharkfin9517]

Last Sept. I rented a 2013 Boxster S from Turo in SFO. It had 110K miles and you would never know it by how solid and composed. Everything worked and was in very good shape after some likely hard miles as a rental. You can pick one up for a good deal and call your local Porsche dealer to add extended warranty if you are outside the factory or CPO warranty.

[@MrSirstangalot]

Hello! Just watched and enjoyed the review, great job! I too owned a 2014 Cayman S which was my first Porsche. I purchased mine used with only 3500 miles and aftermarket exhaust. Prior to this car I also have been a fan of V8 powered beast but I always found myself wanting more than straight line performance. Due to an unfortunate collision with a full grown buck at 65 mph, the Cayman S was totaled. Now I have a 2016 GTS and in my opinion is the most amazing car I’ve ever driven! The sport exhaust is awesome and when the PVT is active with PASAM I find it awe inspiring to think, “They make cars that handle better than this?” I’d love to see your review of the GTS and see if you come to the same conclusions as I have!

Not tooting my horn here, but, I bought a low miles 2016 Cayman GTS and drove it for about 2 years. The exhaust sound: absolutely beautiful & wondrous! The 14-way seats (or were they 18-way?) made for so much comfort, I felt refreshed getting out of the car after a 5-hour drive! I wish I had one with its adjustability in my living room. The memory package is a great deal too. Appreciate your review. Beep-beep!

You are now ruined...I didn't get it at first either, but now as of two months ago, I am a P-car addict. After driving many many modded and non-modded Japanese, German, American cars in the last 20+ years, I have never driven a car this engaging (718 GTS, manual).

Good review! But I think it's time that you reviewed the 992 911 carrera s, as well as the upcoming 992 turbo (non s). In my opinion those two cars will be the best bang for buck, and the best in their categories. I switched from buying a m850i to the 992 carrera s (expecting delivery this late December).

[@RO-cf3lz]

I still have my 2014 Porsche Cayman Basic 275 h.p., that I purchased new in 2014. It has been an awesome car with the PDK and other amenities. I still get compliments from complete strangers out on the road. I never track a car so why justify paying $10k for more horsepower.

I'm curious how you would rank the Cayman vs the i8, since you've driven both. I own the i8 and am considering a Cayman GT4, but I haven't driven one yet. Maybe the 911 would be a better choice.

[@DanWangFilms]

Pat's Garage Online To be frank, it’s hard for me put them in the same category. The i8 has its merits but the Cayman (especially the GT4) will feel like a completely more purposed animal. I haven’t driven a 911 but I’d imagine it’d be a better blend of comfort and sport. You just don’t get the stunt factor of the i8.

[@PatsGarageOnline]

@@DanWangFilms Yep, totally agree with the lack of stunt factor. It has really taken it's toll on me after a year of ownership. Prior to the i8, I owned Corvettes so I miss the raw feeling and sounds, but have been bitten by the exotic (and electric) bug. Nothing like a one-off car to really mess with your ownership priorities. Lol

[@superdave2316]

I was confused by your statement that it's difficult to do after market upgrades. Mine has wider wheels, under drive pulleys, a bigger oil cooler, factory short shift, a turbo charger with intercooler and performance brakes. So unless you're referring to fuzzy dice, your just plain wrong on that score. Mine is a 460 hp track machine that eats GT3s for breakfast.

[@FCTDmotorenvy]

I guess I should’ve been more clear. Wheels/Brakes are pretty standard things so don’t really count. You can get custom wheels for pretty much anything. What I’m referring to is OEM+ or FBO. I think 7 is a fair score considering the mod price to performance ratio isn’t exactly stellar. I’m sure your car is a beast, but how much did you spend to get there? For reference, the BMW’s B58/S55/N55/N54 platforms would get a 10 in this category because of how easy it is to gain performance with practically one or two mods.

[@superdave2316]

Maybe I misunderstood the category. You were referring to how simple and inexpensive mods are not necessarily their availability. Got it. Good job on the revue though.

[@x3mg]

Caymans are designed to be refined and modest until 4,5,6,7 k revs then the fun kicks in.

[@happyfundave]

Maybe I missed it but did you talk about current value? Talking about the price when it came out I don't think is relevant to current value as nobody is buying this model new.

[@FCTDmotorenvy]

So as far as my knowledge goes, at the time of this review, current used value is around 45-55K depending on variables. But I tried to keep it relative to its segment for its time period when it came out new. If I factored in used prices, I could say it cost almost as much as an early year used C7 Z06 and I think that would put it at an unfair disadvantage. Therefore, my thought process is that original MSRP compared against the offerings at the time is the most impartial method. It’s hard doing older models, I try to stick to newer cars for this reason, but I’m still a small channel, so I won’t say no when a car is offered to me for review.

[@happyfundave]

@@FCTDmotorenvy I agree that I would talk about a new car to what's available used, it's a bit apples to oranges for a review. However when talking about an older used car the MSRP/new sale price doesn't relate to a lot. Knowing it's price competitors back then isn't something that comes up when looking at this car unless it's similarly competitive now on the used scene. I think it's fair to compare it to a C7 Z06 because someone with about $50K would definitely cross shop these two cars.

[@TheOldmane]

I have a feeling if you drive the manual your smiles per gallon may go up a little.

[@DriverGuy23]

Correction, the Porsche model number for the latest gen is 718, not 982. Also, I would encourage you to drive the latest 718. I have owned all 3 latest generations & the latest gen it is better in every way. With the optional sports exhaust, the new model sounds almost as good as the previous gen, but the improvements in torque & power are worth it. Also, the latest base model is faster than the previous S model. In addition, value is excellent, especially if you pick up a Cayman that is 1-2yrs old. As a example, I found the same model in your video with all the same options, including Ceramic brakes (PCCB) for $59K (originally $92k MSRP). Excellent review, your presentation & demeanor is spot on.

[@stephenwood9662]

718 has a factory designation of 982 he is correct .

[@svgitana2499]

The problem that I have is that you didn’t push it hard how it is meant to be. So your comment towards the end about it being disconnected from the driver as a cayman GTS owner is absolutely wrong. Push it hard and track it and you will see a COMPLETELY different car. I’m the normal everyday drive it’s dossal and it feels a bit blah....but start driving it like you stole it and you will see the true cayman personality and performance. Just my opinion of course. Other than that, great video and review! 👍🏻

[@DanWangFilms]

Enigma Tombo Things are good bro. It’s getting pretty serious over here with the 🦠 so we’re just avoiding society in general. Means I got more time to make videos though.

Why r u so cool for

[@highgate14]

Dan likes V8 straight line, American muscle cars. Cayman is way too refined a tool, the subtleties of which elude him. A little like a scalpel instead of a sledge hammer.

[@danjones4755]

I think you're confusing Dan with the other presenter Sean. Dan has all the lightweight track cars while Sean has all the big straight-line V8 SUVs.

Great quality to the video, very cinematic. On a different note I just can’t see spending that kind of money on this car. I have owned Porsches in the past and although their driving characteristics are very good, there are much better cars out there.

[@williamjackson5357]

I am a first time Porsche owner, Cayman, could you please name a few cars that are much better

[@ShermanMR2]

William Jackson I would say by the numbers and online write ups the new Vette for starters.

[@williamjackson5357]

The “new vette” has not been tested yet, we can only based that on it’s past, which leads a lot to be desired. The majority of write and reviews have been stellar for the Cayman and Porsche in general

Thank you for pronouncing PorschE and not Porsh like most of the car reviewers. I really don't understand why people don't pronounce it correctly. It really ruins the brands name. And no I'm not german. It just bothers me idk why. And i really like your type of review👍.

[@dlckddyd76]

It's actually Pa Sha. Everyone but few are pronouncing it wrong including you and this reviewer.
