Lightness, perhaps the keyword when you experience the Art of Driving in a Porsche 718 Boxster T. But lightness comes with tricky decisions when you option out your 718 T, you don't​ want it to become heavy. It was a privilege driving the Boxster T in Michelin Porsche Slalom Cup, hosted by Porsche Club Sweden.

Its so refreshing to hear positive,educated remarks on the flat-4. Its made the 718 a better car and it fits the history..Well done once again, this is the best channel on KZbin!

[@JankoLind]

Thanks for all your energy in your comment. With a flat 4 cylinder engine the Boxster and Cayman becomes its own breed instead of a poor mans 911.

[@artemusifasuenshuffleman8535]

@@JankoLind very true

[@gsthree9534]

@@artemusifasuenshuffleman8535 disagree. The 981 GTS and GT4/Spyder were better than many of the 911s of the same era. The boxster Cayman had finally crawled out of the hole Porsche dug for them only to be thrown back in a deeper, darker hole with the crude removal of the wonderful 3.8 NA engine.

[@artemusifasuenshuffleman8535]

Thank you for clarifying that the Boxster is indeed still a very very good car, even with only 4 cylinders ! The driving experience is awesome. Lots of people make their opinion and judge only on what they see and hear on you tube but "the real thing" is so much different. I am lucky to own a 718 and still enjoy every trip that I make. Keep up the good work Janko !

Great review of the 718. Few balanced reviews of the 4 cylinder 718. Driving my 718 through VA and WV last weekend I appreciated the torque down low. Squeezing on throttle, 1st to2nd, turn in..... The 718 is great daily if B roads are part of the journey.

Enjoyed that Janko. I'm a 981 owner and reviewed a 718 last year here in Scotland. It really is a great car, just missing that soundtrack but with some improvements in other areas. My pick is the 2.0l manual it's a great b road blaster and such great value on the used market.

[@888mf4]

Nice review Janko. You gave the 981 Boxster Spyder a stellar review, so I am wondering how this 718 Boxster T was compared to that on the B roads. I also note that there wasn't really any engine noise in this 781 Boxster T, which is a big difference to the 981 Boxster Spyder.

[@JankoLind]

Yes the engine noise is different but the 718 handles MUCH better.

@@JankoLind Too late! I went out and bought a 981 Spyder after I saw your review :))

[@doriangray2347]

Janko. I have watched all of your 718 videos, and a few of them more than once. I am deciding on an order this week or today even. Two months learning and choosing. A. Is the 20mm sport pasm low for bad roads, speed bumps, and general daily driving vs 10 mm pasm? And Cayman S vs T. I cannot decide. One car for all things. Winter driving, weekends, going on dates, and mountain driving. I do like power and i am currently in a manual Mazda MX-5 RF, nd2 (newer engine version).

I wish i could take you shopping with me to choose the perfect 718 for me :) I agree that the 2.0 and 2.5 are the most fitting motors for the 718. Choosing between S and T is an extremely difficult and fascinating task. 4.0 is too twitchy. And so heavy!! Terrible to make a 718 so heavy without a Spyder build behind it. You opened my eyes to that. Much thanks!

Me to, the Boxster and Cayman T is nice car to drive and own. Happy that you have found more of my videos.

[@TheEmpiredown]

Wonderful vid and BOLD opening statement. One I agree with, of course! 😃 But I'm biased. For me, if they had placed the same gear box in the 911 CT as they did the 718 Ts, it would truly be perfection. The 7MT is the only weak spot of the 911 CT imo. Less IS more! SS

[@kokostrollet]

A bit confused by the claim that the manual gearbox in this car should be "completely different" than the base Boxster. Isn´t the gearbox EXACTLY the same in both cars? There is no specs difference at all, at least that I know of. Or have I missed something here??

[@JankoLind]

Hi kokostrollet, Perhaps I was un clear, the only change is the stick/gear leaver. I try to say that it is a very small change but makes the feeling of the gearbox totally different. Apologize if I was not as clear in the video. Thanks for watching and subscribing​.

[@JankoLind]

S S the 6 speed gearbox in the 718 is a perfect fit. I do have som issues with the "over drive" in the Carrera T.

[@kokostrollet]

@@JankoLind Thanks for quick response, then I got it.

[@JD-ze2fy]

Another nice review. I agree that to really appreciate the 718 and the flat four, it helps to understand Porsche's history. I have always loved the feminine, curvy lines of my Boxster 987.1 because it is more reminiscent, to me of the 550. The history and lore of the 550 is what drove( pun intended) me to the Porsche brand, unlike many others which originated from the 930 Turbo posters of when they were kids. I see my 718CGTS as a distant offspring of the 904. The headlights, fenders, rear end all ooze a Porsche heritage that is totally distinct from the 911. Sometimes I feel Porsche really fell down on the positioning of the Boxster/Cayman. I guess it was just too easy to let it slide as the poor man's 911 and tempt people to upgrade to the "real" Porsche someday rather than sell them on a different mid engine family tree. In any event, all this leaves me with one question. When the hell are we getting the 718T in the US?? It'll be a classic and registered as an antique at this rate. Car was announced in December, IIRC and we can't even spec one on the configurator yet. Come on Porsche, get your act together. You're just being a tease...

[@JankoLind]

Thanks for your comment. I might disappoint you but I believe the T will never reach US 🤭 Let’s hope I’m wrong...

[@emanuelderta3231]

I will still option a PDK gearbox, it's better than the manual. I remember my 718 from 2016 with 4 cylinders, it was so good!!! Better than the previous 6 cylinders Cayman. That was just noise and no action!

[@JankoLind]

The 4-pot makes the car more fun to drive, I agree. If you are not already, please consider subscribing.

[@gsthree9534]

You've gone off the deep end Janko. I agree that Porsche could have put a 4 cylinder engine in the boxster. They had a good one in the 968. But they did not. So now the boxster lives not only in the dark shadow of the 911, but also now it lives in the darkest shadow of the flat 6 boxster. The 981 GTS and Spyder were much more compelling cars than any of the 718 range. At least the 718 has one fan.

[@JankoLind]

Don't agree, when the flat 4 was introduced to the Boxster and Cayman it becomes its own breed standing on its own feet. It feels great that we could share a different opinion. Spyder and GT4 stand on their own feet​.

In Sweden there are many reviews where the 718 Boxster ends up as the winner compared to above mention cars.

[@Nord_Mann]

Great video! Super excited to try out the new 718 Boxster T. I bet it is a blast to drive. Lame sounding exhaust though. I think aftermarket exhaust is going to do even better in the future. Have you thought of doing something to your 992’s exhaust?

[@JankoLind]

No plans for the 992 exhaust, I'm curios if some companies are working with the sound symposers that you will find in the 718, 991.2 and 992

[@gsthree9534]

Gents you can't make that thing sound any better. Subaru, along with s dedicated group of aftermarket folks, has been at it for years, and although that STI sounds much better than the 781, it's a flat 4 with a turbo. Physics dictate the sound that comes out of it.

Why is the exhaust pipes move that way when accelerating? Is it due to the pressurized exhaust gas going through it?

Can’t help but thinking it’s a VW GOLF R engine in a Boxster mmmmm ! for £60,000 in the uk my choice would be a 981 spyder that would evoke a lot more feeling and happiness on the road it’s not that long ago Porsche would do everything in its power to persuade you not to buy the bottom spec 2.0 cayenne , now the engine is mainstream , 🤔🤔🤔

[@blobinfishgames1235]

TACADO1 euhh a 2.0 cayenne? And btw this is a flat 4 engine built by Porsche and not the stupid i4 vw engine.

[@TACADO1]

Sorry Porsche Macan not cayenne not that into the suv , which uses the same engine as a the golf gti 242bhp and Audi TT badged as Porsche but those engines come from the VW group , As good as the new turbo engines are I’m still not getting the feeling of anything more than a lightened audi s3 golf R group, I’m probley in the minority’s but the new era is becoming sterile in my eyes losing all the feeling of older models , no doubt it is a good car but I would never consider a 2.0 sports car it just doesn’t crave what I need from my driving .

[@a.f.s.3004]

The flat 6 is the better engine...the 981 Cayman’s will be the collector cars. There is a reason a PDK was not offered in the last gen GT4,,,,because it would have outperformed the 911. The manual held it back performance wise. The new GT4’s that are coming out will also have normally aspirated flat 6’s as well. I wonder why?

Flat 4 suck, because it doesn't howl like the flat six and also the engine sounds like WRX, and I might as well buy WRX. Sorry to say this.

Well, there is a Porsche for everyone. Perhaps you have honoured me with your subscription

Another whiner that can not accept changes, the T4 is superior to 981 and 4.0 NA in every measurable way.. Janko is a brilliant reviewer that has a broader view about cars.

Såg denna i Geneve. Blev lite kär men är det inte bättre köpa en vanlig med manuell låda?

[@JankoLind]

No the base models gear stick is not as connecting as the one on the T. Then you have all the drivers attribute on the T. BUT as a daily, the the standard 718 is spot on.
