Porsche 718 Cayman S - Why you should buy one!

[@SMandz]

this man really loves his car!

[@DriveMore718]

Absolutely!

[@badkatrising3918]

Love to see people passionate about what they love. Good stuff.

[@andrewbrown5636]

Sold my 981 recently as I fancied a change.. looked at everything from Mustangs, F type V8’s, Aston Martin Vantage, TVR Tuscans and Nissan GT-R’s. Ended up with a 718S. One thing you didn’t mention was great value retention and Porsche as a great brand who values their heritage which also helps with residuals. Great vid!

[@DriveMore718]

I did the same thing, I was looking at a few different cars but at the end of the day the 718 Cayman S fit everything I wanted in a car. The way Porsche as a brand represents themselves was a big reason for the purchase. They are all about the customers and just making great driving sports cars. Happy you liked the video, plenty more to come!

[@karamellisiertesfallobst8303]

"great value retention" that's the most important argument from my point of view to acquire a Cayman. The German market for used Caymans revealed the following: Base Caymans from 2017 or 2018 have depreciated only less than 20% of their original price. Thus, I would go for a new Cayman.

[@micraw714]

I drove a base 718 last year and it blew my mind 😲 such an amazing feeling with that mid engine and how light it is on its feet. I want one lol either a 981 or 718. Congrats brotha!

[@DriveMore718]

The base model actually feels a lot faster off the line than the S. Not sure why but yeah these cars just feel amazing! Good luck with your search for one, you can’t go wrong with either!

2019 Cayman Miami Blue here. Agree with everything you said. Got the stick though. Bought it last year with 5k miles on it. Everyone loves it especially the color. Congrats!

[@DriveMore718]

That Miami blue is a head turner! Plus the 718 models don’t get that color option anymore so those Miami blue cars might start going up in value!

[@ericyasunaga641]

Last week parked my pre-owned 2017 718 Cayman S. Miami Blue with a 6-spd manual. Excluding the ceramic brake package, it's fully spec'ed. 9K on the clock. It's mid-engine design truly makes driving in S and S+ mode an experience.

Great review. Just got a 718 myself and love it! And yes, put it in Sport Mode and it sounds and feels sick.

[@jonm.678]

I've driven one of these a few times and they are a BLAST to drive. Sport mode with a manual transmission in this car is probably the most fun I've had in an automobile.

No food or liquids in my car ever (ok sometimes I have water).

Thanks for posting! I'm the proud owner of a 2018 718 Cayman S with a manual gearbox. So far I've done the Porsche short-throw shifter, the white Euro front side marker lights and the red-delete blackened tail lights (which look amazing on an agate grey car). Looking forward to see your tuning tricks to make it even more of a race car for the street!

[@DriveMore718]

You should post a video of the car on your channel, I'd love to check it out. Sounds like a beautiful spec! The lowering springs, tune and wrap are going on this car in April so ill be posting lots of video's about the process.

Congrats on the purchase. I'm also looking for 718 cayman s pretty soon. Man I've literally watched every review on this car on KZbin and I just can't wait haha. I've driven a base 911 and it felt incredibly fast I can just imagine a even lighter vehicle and mid engine!! And best part is they're way more affordable than a 911.

[@DriveMore718]

Hey Joshua, thanks for watching! I actually recently raced a base 2017 911 and the cayman S was a bit faster! These cars are amazing and for the price you can’t get better. I’m excited for you to join the 718 family!

I'd love to try one of these before I buy it but they have literally none in a 400 mile radius of me

[@DriveMore718]

That’s awesome man, not many people put rally miles on these cars! Yeah Florida roads kind of suck for this car but I’ve got a few gems I drive out to for a good time! Which seats do you have on your car, the 14 way?

[@jochemr.a.bakker8048]

@@DriveMore718 Yep, I have the 14-way seats. I read somewhere online that the 18way seats are actually more uncomfortable, but can't speak from experience. If you like the idea of rallies, look into dustballrally.com. My car's in the Utah GT video.

[@nikolasmoljanovic2884]

It's not a supercar really lol Still great car, I have a Boxster 718. Looks kinda dated on the inside doe. I'm scared of daily driving it since it's a PDK that can't be repaired so high mileage will definitely impact later resale value.

Do you have 20” tires on your S? Asking because if the ride is hard, you could downsize to 19”. I test drove 2 CS, one had 19”, the other 20” and there was a big difference in the ride. Some say there is no difference between tire sizes but others swear there is. Just thought I would throw that one in just in case.

[@DriveMore718]

I actually heard that was a good fix from another guy too. I would do that but I’m lowering the car anyways so the ride will never be great :/ but it’s a sports car so I’ll learn to live with it. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Hey man thanks for watching! I had the exact same problem but I’m going to be tracking the car a lot so for safety I decided to go with the coupe. If your not tracking the car then I’d go with the booster! Just being able to have this driving experience with the top down much be AMAZING! Honestly you can’t go wrong either way!

[@dmlkcs8620]

I was also debating between the boxster & the coupe and in the end went with the coupe because I live in a very big city. If it was 15 yrs ago, hands down I would not have had to give thoughts and would have bought the boxster but now with all the crazy people, drive by shootings, car highjacking... I decided against it. If I lived in a smaller town, it would be different but in a big city, I don’t want to always ride with the fear of maybe something happen. Of course, it’s just my opinion.

[@dmlkcs8620]

I'm not a journalist and bought a GTS over the S for the flat 6. In my ears, there is a difference and the S flat 4 sounds like the poor thing is badly congested :) ...no offense meant. But I totally agree with you, the Cayman sure is sexy, even sexier then the 911 (again, no offense meant)

[@DriveMore718]

No offense taken, the flat 6 in the GTS sounds amazing! I just wanted to be able to tune the car so the S model worked for me. Do you have a 981 or 718 GTS?
