Rivals - Porsche 718 Cayman Vs Alpine A110 | WATCH BEFORE BUYING

[@BOTBreviews]

WIN a Porsche Cayman / Alpine 110 or...one of the others in BOTB’s line up here 👉 bit.ly/BOTB-Win-A-Dream-Car

[@carpediem1140]

Nice review! I drove both ... and bought an A110S. For me the perfect sports car without any compromise to luggage or image! I use others cars for other needs - but for best road experience and small trips the A110S is my daily favourite and smiling every day! 👍👍👍😁

[@BOTBreviews]

Fantastic choice! Have you seen the Life110 upgrades? Seems the geometry setup for the S makes a world of difference to the on-road manners. Thanks for watching! 😁👍 - Tim

[@carpediem1140]

@@BOTBreviews Yes. I read about the Life110 upgrades. Here in Austria maybe not possible to get. Right now no change of my A110S, but in 2021 planning of an update is possible. 👍 - Thomas.

[@swansmeister]

Overpriced for a car that shares so many parts with a clio, also the paddle shifters are weirdly placed and the space between the paddle shifter and the blinker handle is too small, on a track that'll cause trouble, the Porsche is better in every way but most where is matters, the track. It's 1.5 seconds faster on a 47 second track, thats a lot.

[@veredwald6776]

I saw an A110s in Black metallic. Such a great looking car.

[@brentpowell7889]

Nice review, however performance isn’t just about 0-60mph, you need to consider braking, suspension, stability, traction etc etc The Alpine will certainly be better under braking due to its lower overall weight , these are sports cars so ideally it would be great if the review had gone into these in a little more depth. Have owned 11Porches and 2 Alpine’s , haven’t driven the new Alpine , however the Alpine I believe is the more focused drivers car , therefore would be my choice 👍

[@A5hTriX]

Couldn't agree more, the interior design AND performance parts of the review were SO overlooked its a joke.

[@Willinator]

yeah but they didn´t even reviewed the performance after 0-60 the sayed the Porsche has an bigger engine and so he won performance but thats make absolutly no sense. After this logic an Scania would have an better performance then both of these cars.

[@StefBelgium]

The Porsche is a beast on track and reviews already proved massive difference of chrono between those 2 in favor of the 718!

[@MitchWebb94]

As realistically I'll be taking a laptop, a phone and maybe a drink - I'm fine for practicality on the Alpine, and am picking up a blue premiere edition on Saturday - cannot wait!

[@BOTBreviews]

Amazing choice, congratulations! Have you perused the Life110 site?

The Alpine A110 with 31k in the boot is a dream come true.

[@angelstavrov5032]

Very nice comparison made me play some tickets on the A110. It's a bargain compared to that Porsche. I think that the Alpine is actually a better car overall than its rival. Cheers!

[@BOTBreviews]

Good to know and good luck! Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@MiniEggs1999]

Great quality review. I really want an A110 but just could not live with the lack of luggage space. Such a shame they couldn’t design in a just a bit more in cabin and frunk/boot. Maybe next time

[@kimbulusan4848]

Wait for the a210 😂

[@smiler921]

I think a cayman would be a better daily car with the storage, equipment and build quality. Have driven an A110s and loved it, not tried a 718 yet.

I've never loved the Cayman/boxster hence I go with the A110.

[@renaultpassion7375]

Alpine A110S of course.... so sexy, so fun to drive, i m fallait in love

[@patricktaylor2811]

You confuse 'design' with appearance, when any designer will tell you that it's a combination of function/ergonomics, form and economics (although designers like to think they are above such things 😉), all blended with materials and performance criteria. So to give a score for 'design' alone is, well, a bit leaden.

[@cyberpope2137]

Give the Alpine 50 liters of boot space more and it's the obvious choice 🙂 sadly this isn't the case

[@НурсултанТалгатулы-ф6м]

Since when more hp and torque means better performance ignoring speed ?:D

[@arno222444]

power to weight ratio: alpine all day long

[@badger748]

Perhaps a different answer to which one “wins” and which one you’d buy with your own money ?? I’d love the Alpine, but from a long term ownership perspective, I’d probably go Cayman.

[@BOTBreviews]

I would definitely get the Alpine, Christian would probably get the Porsche! - Tim Thanks for watching! 😁👍

[@123antimiro]

Good choice. I drove both and bought Cayman T. In Alpine I could not help myself but I had a feeling I drove cheap but overpriced car.

[@GrooveTasticThang]

Nice review Chaps. I watch A LOT of car content on KZbin and this was refreshingly relevant. Simple format, well shot with clear categories and you guys seem to get on well. As a potential buyer you do need to see inside boots and seat comfort etc, as well as performance and fun. Have just subscribed. The Apline is a great clean sheet design that maximises fun, focus and individuality but is a Lotus Elsie / Exige killer. The lack of space isn’t going to help on the everyday stuff or taking your other half away for the weekend. Ends up being a second/ third car or toy. Sadly that’s a smaller market place than the Porsche appeals to. The Cayman is clearly the more rounded product and you could do a lot more with it as your only car. More a Supra / Z4 rival. IMHO

[@BOTBreviews]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching/subscribing! 👍 Agree fully that as an everyday proposition the Cayman takes it, though the rude comfort and low running costs work in the favour of the Alpine. There’s enough room for shopping in the Alpine, and even enough for a weekend away, so that’s still where my money would go - Tim

[@MWS1960]

If I said Alpine, it wouldn’t matter...... I live in a scottsdale, AZ 😂

[@fasthracing]

Dodge Charger for you then

[@fredericberthou]

Alpine better no contest 💪💪

[@final_mile_music9713]

Sub 50k! Those were the days. A well specced base cayman in the US is $80k!

[@LeHoink]

The Alpine for the environnement tax & the Porsche for the hairdresser hunt.

[@konfuzon4270]

Problem with this kind of "versus" videos is you leave it determined to buy both cars, whilst you barely can afford a standard hatchback.

[@BOTBreviews]

I feel the same with most cars I test! 😂 - Tim

[@teggyegg]

the local rail replacement bus has more power, torque and grunt than the cayman, ok its slower than the porsche buts its got to make it the winner for performance. the bus from 2005 beats the cayman on practicality, performance and cost....(i dont get the logic of the performance conclusion in the video)

[@czarekaj1098]

Nobody mentioned reliability.

[@A5hTriX]

WAIT... so the Porsche won on performance because it has bigger figures but a slower 0 - 60?? Do you guys not get that the Alpines whole point is small figures but with that comes lightweight and therefore, better performance than cars with bigger numbers. The Alpine runs rings around a GT4 and this Cayman isn't anything compared to that LOOL... Interior design was completely overlooked and only "practicality" was judged.. bad review guys.

[@manuelight]

let’s be honest, the porsche‘s interior is way superior to the alpine. It‘s infotainment system sucks, it has buttons that do nothing and weird volume control. Big fan of the alpine though. Hope the used market gets cheaper in a couple of years. I prefer the exige over both of them though.

[@maisondeprovencethailande]

WTF with the porsche pricing? The 'necessary' options are very expensive. Can you actually buy a base model?

[@BOTBreviews]

You can, but the dealership will hate you doing it

[@JakobusVdL]

@@BOTBreviews if you did buy the base model, would you be missing anything that would mean the car wasn't a great drive?

[@BOTBreviews]

There are certain options that improve the drive, basically the Cayman T has all the best options already specced and is far better value.

[@JakobusVdL]

@@BOTBreviews as a used car buyer, I'll just have to hope new car buyers continue to be upsold, donate huge sums to manufacturers and dealers, and carry on providing me with well specced and maintained cars to enjoy. Thank you to the new car buyers of Japan. (I live in New Zealand and we get a great supply of used cars from Japan, not so many Porsche though)

@@arno222444 true, yes these car will be better at handling than a Mustang and Mustang is not a mid engine car, but at least you get a lovely v8 muscle car for the roughly same price as these car

@@lymonto9450 Yes I agree about the noble engine and the pure sound, but the way I use my sport car, in the mountains on twisty and narrow roads I would probably die with a Mustang :-) With the Alpine I just dance with the road and I keep smiling (And I stay alive because I am in control of an amazing car built exactly for what I'm doing).

[@MrRoyck10]

The engine in that Porsche sounds like a blender, it does not sound anything like a Porsche, it has no chance against the A110 as a sports car, 718 4.0 GTS is the real Porsche to get within the 718 range. Practicality apart, A110 is the one for me with an organic feel that the synthetic 718 with its underwhelming four pot engine.

[@ChrisW444]

The Alpine looks like a toy car, it's awful. I really struggle to understand this, the Porsche is a way better car, not just looks wise and most reviews would agree with that.

[@ukbondraider]

The two ugliest cars on the market today. A 911 is a close second. Horrible rears
