[@jwardTLS]

Godspeed. First time viewer, really like your candor and presentation. Nice channel. With a PDK, that Cayman will work as a summer daily. I owned a GT4 with a 6-speed and the gearing is just awful for the street - the GTS 4.0 has the same problem, to the point that the top of 2nd gear with a manual is still over 80 mph even in the GTS. It's just not very usable. I sold my GT4 and got a really nice 997.2 that I am personally much happier with. I also owned my E92 M3 for 7 years and it was an amazing car but eventually you realize an M3 is still just a really nice daily (I replaced my E92 with a G80 M3 6mt as a daily and it is fantastic). If you want a backroads car, more of a pure sporting experience, the mid-engine or rear engine platform is the way to go. Surely you are on the right track with this Cayman. As a PDK, with the extra 7th forward gear, that Cayman GTS is a really nice summer daily and balanced backroads car. For me it just comes down to if you want manual or not. If manual is a requirement for you, then you will find yourself either short shifting a lot on public roads just to shift, or you will have to do very high speeds to get any fun out of the manual. But if PDK works for you, then bang for buck it is really, reaaaally hard to argue with a Cayman.

[@ericcarson342]

Love the 718 Cayman. I remember when the Boxter came out, I loved it, good size for me. It eventually evolved to a 4 cylinder which turned me off but I still loved the look. And now back to a 6 cylinder for the GTS 4.0. Funny how this video popped up. I was just commenting how the 2024 Porsche 911S/T and this car were my favorite looking Porsches even though the 911 S/T is not attainable by most. That is a good launch, not bad at all for N/A 6 cylinder and you can do that all day long.

[@rickslick730]

I'm proud of you my young brother, I like your channel very much, I live in New Jersey born and raised, I have a Porsche Cayenne turbo right now, and hopefully one day I will have a 911, or a Cayman. You keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to seeing more content 👍🏿

[@williammorris3334]

I wanted an E92 for a long time. Then I started learning about that car and BMW’s in general. Ended up with a 981 Boxster S. It’s far superior in most ways. Porsche builds fantastic engines that are very durable and they are far easier to work on. I went for a blast up the mountain this morning and got 20 mpg for the entire trip. The M3? Would’ve gotten 8mpg. No throttle actuators to replace and no rod bearing issues. It’s much lighter and being mid engined it has better balance, turn in and is just as fast with its lower weight.

[@JeffJacquesmd]

I daily drive a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, canyon carving, driving one of my kids to little league, date night or buying milk makes me smile every time in get behind the wheel. Perhaps one of the best mid-engine cars in production with excellent handling and acceleration. Glad you found this one, new sub

[@nkanyezigumede3298]

I get the feeling you might be a whole lot happier with the V10 R8, especially because it's a car you've always wanted. There are no technical specs that beat that feeling of finally obtaining the car you've always wanted.

[@Digiphex]

Hey I have the same car. My wife got a big heavy M4 xDrive convertible and beat me in a drag race the other day so there are faster cars for sure. But the Cayman fits me like a Hugo Boss suit and feels telepathic, not to big of a car, not too small like a Miata or something, not too ugly like a Z4. Just right!

btw if u get a 718 GTS 4.0 take it to Deman's motorsport (they r pretty close to ya) that takes it to 4.5L and 500hp and basically creates the best Porsche experience u can get (lookout for them used too bc they r popular), or even do the regear for the manual which makes the first few gears not as long (ie can use the first few gears without needing to go 120)

I had my GTS 4.0 re-geared by DeMan. Transformative modification. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

[@gregs8685]

The 4.5L is prohibitively expensive. It’s basically half again the price of the car. For $150k just buy a 991.2 or 992 Carrera S or GTS and tune it to over 500 hp.

[@davidog4]

The Caymen is the next logical step. Especially a 4.0 GT4 or GTS. E92 M3 or maybe an e90 M3 and a 718 GT4 to cover the coupe designation is a nice toy chest indeed! Definitely attainable if you can wrench! A little tougher if you don't. Great vid!!!! Very few cars rival the s65 sound.

[@robertanna9964]

I have a 2016 base with pdk and I think the most underrated aspect of the car is the pdk. It's absolutely flawless. The Rev match, downshifts etc are so spot on. I tried buying a manual but they were so few and far between. The pdk's were cheaper anyway. As far as tech goes, I think the Cayman is just right. My singular upgrade is an apple carplay that I did myself for about $200. Porsche does an outstanding job delivering an analog experience to driving. Most newer cars are over doing it with screens and tech.

I was looking for a new M3 until I drove the manual which blows any other manual I’ve driven completely away

You can get an older Carrera S for the same price. Swap in a nice new headunit and have apple carplay easily.. the aftermarket on these cars is huge so you can do a ton of modernizing if you want.

Just wait until you try the first gen Cayman and realize they get substantially better the farther back Cayman you go. First gen is no electric assist steering, no turbo, so raw, so good. New gens and GT4 is great and all but they lack emotion and start to feel more muted and mushy like the BMWs.

YT's algorithm brought me here. Congrats on the purchase! As a long-time Porsche owner, I approve! Your 1st gear change sounded a bit premature. Was it short shifting? I've seen some of these do that if traction wasn't ideal and it's more or less predicting wheel slip.

[@architectoverlord]

With regards to infotainment tech in cars these days, less should be more: simply include wireless and wired Apple Car Play and Android Audio integration. That's it. that is all you really need. The PDK is so good it's not a bad thing to have an automatic transmission in a Porsche, but it sure would be nice if they included a manual option for all of their models.

I had E92 M3 for 5 years. Put 82K miles on it and loved it. Then went to 2015 Carrera S and so happy with it been with me for 7 years now. So I know both cars very well. I miss the sound of the M3 on cold starts or at redline. I also think the “feel” of the steering on the M3 was beefier and connected. Other than that the Porsche gained my trust quick and that makes it more inviting to push my limits and learn. I could never trust the E92 in a traffic light to launch, each launch was different than the other, you just slam the throttle, pray and hope for the best 🤭not the carrera. Also tight cornering, throttle steering and agility goes for Porsche. Also when you drive a supposedly 400hp carrera s after a 414 hp M3 you know that numbers don’t tell the full story. For someone who spent 5 years in a 414hp M3 the Carreras feels and behaves more like a 450 easy. So don’t get fooled with the numbers. If you haven’t drove a Porsche, please do

The 987 generation is better imo.. my dad owned a newer Boxster S and it felt so heavy compared to my 987 Boxster with a manual. Throw an aftermarket exhaust on one and you won't have the same speed numbers as the GTS, but damn that thing will sound good and it's a manual!

I mostly drive brand new cars ranging from 3800-6000 pounds. When stepping in anything under 3500 I feel like I'm driving a motorcycle lol. The weight is perfectly fine with me.

@@CarswithMiles Far, I guess I just like the smaller Porsches better since they feel more pocket-like (if that's a way to describe them). You can toss them around corners more confidently with less electronic assistance than the newer stuff.

GTS with GT4 front bumper is peak value and aesthetic!

Also if you get a 2.5T motor, you lose the exhaust note but gain quite a bit of power with a flash tune. 420hp and 410 ft/lbs

One does not just replace a M3! But one can get Cayman to hang out with the M3! 😛

Imagine coming from an E92 and saying the 718 tech is outdated. 😂 Good video and I appreciate your perspective on the car.

[@CarswithMiles]

I never said my car wasn't outdated lol.

[@samsong9288]

They can both be outdated…

Save some money and get a 981 GTS. Same tech, better sounding engine, and IMO a better looking car overall. PLUS, resale values have basically bottomed out and on the way up because the 981s are how you get the flat-6 without spending 100k on a cayman/boxster. I personally own a 981 and wouldn’t trade it for the world.
