Porsche 718 Boxster GTS vs Cayman GTS FULL REVIEW comparison 2018 - Autogefühl

[@gauchegaucho]

This dude is awesome. I can't tell if he's speaking English or German. His fashion is so out of order yet looks good on him. His joke is so late and he tells it so seriously which makes it funny.

[@FOXHOUND4143]

LOL

[@hibye-jx3dy]

Very chilled review. Best reviewer in my opinion 😁

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks so much! Please recommend our channel 😎

[@smokingfreak553]

Autogefühl ist kein 100% gefühl ohne Thomas aber nur ein (sehr guten) review. Thomas is master of giving just that extra "gefühl" on a review and even on a bike.👍🏼🥇

[@simonhurlimann908]

Oh you are so right about the design vs function (convertible). My heart is bleeding but I am trading my 718 Cayman S to a 718 Boxster S right now... Driving with an open top is so great I even overlook the fact the Cayman looks so much better...

[@charleslu7044]

The Boxster looks much better with the top down, you can’t say that about the Cayman, lol. 142,000 miles on my 05 Boxster S.

[@rogerxcohn]

Why is Thomas so likeable?? Nice soothing voice, sexy accent, knowledgeable without being a know it all, explains just enough without making you feel dumb or too smart. He's the guy.. Design wise, the Cayman is more streamlines smooth flowing lines the best looking and more room for luggage or golf clubs. But I live in AZ (always Summer) so I always take the convertible version of any car.

[@autogefuehl]

+rogerxcohn 😎👌

[@rrmerlin4961]

Boxster every time for me Thomas, when the suns shining and the views are amazing, the Boxster wins every time. And the roof on the Boxster is so fast to open and close and is very quiet when closed. I had an amazing 90 minutes at the Porsche driving experience silverstone, roof down 😀 favourite colour is GT sliver with gts black alcantara trim with the white contrasting stitching (like in the chalk coloured Cayman). Love your reviews, they’re so detailed and we get to see everything about the car 👍🏻

[@caraddicted6794]

I would always prefer the Cayman GTS because the silhouette, the black elements and the alcantara in the interior looks so fantastic! I´m still not the biggest Fan of this new 4 cylinder engine but it has its own character. The performance of the 718 with this great undercarriage and the perfect balancing is still matchless.💪 Maybe the Boxster / Cayman is the best Porsche because they are very compact. You don`t need more than that ! Perfect car, perfect landscape and perfect music. Well done Autogefühl 👏

[@fredhassenDogtraining]

Very true about Alcantara wheel. I live in Las Vegas where it is over 100 degrees for 5 months and Alcantara wheels do not get hot even if the car is sitting in sun all day. I like the feel better also. The wheel does not get cold in winter also. I only get Alcantara wheels.

[@autogefuehl]

+Fred Hassen 👍👍👍

[@MrWingtip]

Always enjoy your reviews. The Boxster GTS is a great dream for me.. Maybe someday

[@richardenlighten2906]

Another excellent review by Thomas. You make me want all of these magnificent autos but unfortunately I can not afford them just my 2018 Audi S5 Sportback. You are the best reviewer on the internet your job is my dream.

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

You've sold me. I'm buying an alcantara wheel for my '84 Hyundai Elantra.

[@whewmancool]

Fred Hassen wear and tear, please watch how bad alcantara wear over time compared to leather

[@thesadboxman]

I always enjoy your long, thorough reviews. Keep it up!

[@autogefuehl]

+Jonathan Mui we'll do 👍👍

[@grdixon83]

Just stunning, if I had to choose (& was lucky enough to have the money to pick one), I would go for the 718 Cayman, in dark blue!

[@rafaelceottomusic6918]

the boxster gets mor and more beautiful with every gen. the only down on this one is the engine which is not the flat6 but it sound good for a flat4.

Many thanks Thomas & Katharina - as always, the detail and commentary is so good. And really great images looking forward through the windscreen in the driving parts. Nice car - I'd choose the Boxster for its open top, over the Cayman. Many thanks.

[@josem.c.4575]

Thomas, congratulations on this video as good as all the ones you make. I want to clarify that your indication that this GTS has the PASM 10 mm lower suspension can be misinterpreted, since the car, as seen in the photographs, there is no doubt that the suspension is the PASM Sport, which It is -20mm lower than the standard PSAM -10mm lower than the normal non-active suspension. In the 718 GTS - also in the current GTS 4.0 - the standard suspension is the PASM Sport -20 mm but optionally and for greater ground clearance, the PASM standart -10 mm can be chosen at no additional cost. In any case, I think your comment is very important that the car, even with that -20 mm suspension that it carries, is surprisingly comfortable, as it is a very useful indication for any buyer. I remember you also made a similar comment in the test of the Bosxter T (which also comes equipped like the GTS with the PASM -20 mm), that the suspension was reasonably comfortable and much more comfortable than that of other sports cars such as the Jaguar. F-Type. Thank you very much for your work and your excellent videos that we really enjoy.

[@johnvandehey7002]

Excellent review from a gentleman. I just ordered my first Porsche - 718 Cayman. I prefer the hardtop. Tho I live in Tucson AZ, where a Boxster could be the thing, I like a non-convertible like I'm used to. Less noise, cleaner interior, etc. Personal preference. I'm a neat person where dust & tree residue would trouble me. Porsche is tops and I'm not giving away the farm to buy a 718. I'm 73 years old. Good way to finish out my time on earth.

[@autogefuehl]

Thomas, You’re the best auto vehicles reviewer on KZbin. I took your advice and chose the BMW sensatec and not contributing to killing of animals in your other video, thank you for that advice, I love my dogs. You are the best, candid and honest of these cars that you review, don’t change that style, hopefully you stay honest and not go for money!

[@autogefuehl]

Highly appreciated my friend, all the best to u!

[@gregorygant4242]

Great car .I think the Cayman is more like a traditional porsche.A back to roots like old 911 .The modern 911 has sort of gone out of control in power/price .This is like a classic sports Porsche in modern times that is also pretty affordable for normal people. Great review Thomas,keep it up!

[@autogefuehl]

+Gregory Gant thx!

[@Baerchenization]

This is so wrong :) Actually completely wrong. The 911 has NOT gone out of control in terms of price. It costs exactly the same as 25-30 years ago. For this example, I am going by the last official model year price for a 911 C2 (964) and compare it to today's base 911 (991.2) (German market). In 1992, a base 911 cost 122340 DM = 62551 EUR. This translates to a price of 97390 EUR adjusted for inflation in "today's money". And today? This price straight from the Porsche online configurator for a new 991.2 is 97914 EUR. So a 911 costs "exactly" as much as it did almost 30 years ago!! But in reality, it has gotten a lot cheaper, seeing how much more shit they are building in to them which you could not have 30 years ago. So a lot more car for the SAME price as ever. And your ideas regarding too much power: Seriously: the 997 base engine was OK and the 997 S better of course; but the 991 base engine that followed it simply did not have enough juice, so that you were really only well served with the S model. Ignoring the unicorns like GT2/3, turbo models, current Porsche are powered just fine - brakes, suspension and all the rest have also developed over the past 30 years so that actually a Porsche drives just like a VW Golf, as long as you don't push the pedal too much. And the new Cayman/Boxster now reached the performance of the previous base 911, so either they are all crazy over-powered and over-priced, or your gut feeling is really wrong. Which it is. Everybody including my frail old parents can drive a Porsche just like any other car, they are not over-powered. I once came across a Porsche documentary in the 80s and some retired former higher-up Porsche employee said: "The affordable Porsche is the pre-owned Porsche". 30-40 years on, I still think the man had a point...

[@saegaema]

I'd be hard pressed to find better videography anywhere on KZbin. Thomas, you and your crew offer up the full package. Thank you for this very fine review. At the moment I have to stick with my 2 generations ago Cayman S (987.2), which is such a blast to drive and can be purchased used at very reasonable prices here in the states. And the .2 avoids any potential issues with the IMS. Keep up the good work and I'll save up my $$ for the 981 because I still enjoy the sound of the flat 6. But after watching your video, I'm tempted...

[@MrJkastan]

Congratulations! Nice work

[@autogefuehl]

+Zisogiannis cheers!

[@mcesarey]

As for the preference between Cayman and Boxster...I do like the styling of the Cayman, but have never considered buying one. I put the top down on my Boxster nearly every day (no real winter in south Texas) and certainly plan to get the 718 Boxster. Fantastic video as usual!

[@autogefuehl]

thanks michael !

[@nafnaf0]

9:30 I'd still go with the leather steering wheel. I live in AZ, the heat is not a problem, in cold areas it does get cold but you can get the heated steering wheel as an option. The leather is very durable. 120,000miles, no problems at all. Good to know it rides more comfortably than a Jaguar F-Type

[@limulus61]

I have a 981 Cayman S. I prefer the Cayman styling over the Boxster, but that is my personal preference. I also drove a 718 Cayman S at PEC in Atlanta on the track. It was bloody quick.

[@aviator-kn8zq]

Love your laidback and thorough style Thomas, my favourite video on the Boxster. Keep it coming !

[@toffonardi7037]

@@autogefuehl Hi I really admire you. you're german but you're very honest and expert about cars, you know that the 911 has too much weight on the back and the engine in a non good position, the real sport cars have rear traction and mid engine. Well done!! This will be my next car (maybe the basic version even if the gts would be awesome)

Ghost 911 Turbo is not so much a pure sports car, more like a super car. I’m happy with my 05 987 Boxster S, 142,000 miles so far.

This video deserves a replay! The 911 turbo s has only 6 cylinders with 2 small turbos at 200k++ thankfully this is where the 718 got its technology to create the 4 cylinder with 1 large turbo at

[@dlg5485]

Excellent review, as always! I've always loved Porsche's GTS cars because they tend to be the sweet spot in the lineup, as far as the price to performance ratio goes. Personally, I prefer the Cayman because where I live in Ohio, the climate isn't nice for open top driving most of the year. Plus I agree that the coupe just looks sportier overall. I will definitely purchase Cayman GTS manual at some point, probably lightly used to save some money. It's easy to find these cars with low miles and in pristine condition.

[@autogefuehl]

+D LG cheers!

[@caraddicted6794]

The Cayman is the best Porsche - I agree

[@susnjarante1]

Very cool cars. I prefer the coupe in this review but that may be because Thomas pushed it hard on the race track haha! I thought there was too much alcantara for my taste. I liked it on the steering wheel and thats it. The alcantara fabric on the seats looks "messy" if its not brushed properly. Thats my only complaint about it. Another enjoyable review all together. Great job autogefuehl!

[@autogefuehl]

+Ante Susnjar thanks!!

[@Malcom2345]

I have one but find myself rewatching this during the day as l miss it so much. If l ever upgrade this l will go for a manual with sports buckets for that extra wow factor. I love my 4cyl cars so when Porsche finally decided to pull the trigger on its development in 2015 l got in straight away. As good as a car gets for me. I also just luv the Cayman, those mountains & forest drives with the roof off thou 😍 2good to pass up. I had the $ for a 911, ezy sell on a 718 for me, such a g8 all rounder, smaller and also better looking imho. Thanks Thomas, awesome as usual mate 👍

[@autogefuehl]

thanks! Always trying to find the best price/performance for our viewers!

[@pchwang]

Thomas, if you get a chance google "718 Boxter S dyno test." A few people put a boxter/cayman on a chassis dynamometer and it made 340 hp at the wheels. Normally there is 15-20% hp less from drivetrain loss, which means that either the porsche is losing very little hp from engine to the wheels(highly unlikely) or it is REALLY underrated(more likely).

[@ScenesThroughTravels]

Its the Cayman for me every time , I just think its better in looks in my own view. Gotta have the Blue one of course !! always remind me of Thomas blue reference !! Hhehe

Good night, that thing is gorgeous! Shame about the engine note. The flat 6 wail was one of the high points in the previous generation.

[@TheDavcrz5]

Thomas I just finished watching 6 of your reviews very thorough and insightful I just subscribed to your channel. I've been looking at 911 and 718. After seeing your review I would lean more toward 718 at this point. Power and balance seem to be spot on. While I love 911 they have become so expensive and are you really getting more performance for your money than 718 I don't think so unless you getting 911 GTS or Turbo S, GT3 RS, GT2 RS those last three are super cars. Where as the average person can afford 718 and can extract more of its potential whether it be on back road or race track.
