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.

[@Miroslav-v9m]

Alpine - such awful design.

[@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?

[@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!

[@Miroslav-v9m]

You mean Alpine is more focused drivers car? Why because is lighter, less robust, noise, with cheap suspension, cheap interior? More driver focused car is Cayman. Cayman has much more sophisticated engineered solutions starting suspension, chassis, interior materials, masterpiece flat boxer engine. Cayman handling is sublime, Alpine is nervous and flimsy . Go and drive before you write something!

[@angelstavrov5032]

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 😁👍

[@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

[@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.

[@1bbnnkk]

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

[@rafiquddin6678]

Great review

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

Sub £50K? WOW! Try that here in stupid Australia and that becomes £73K for the flat base model 712. The GT4 is £133K... Why anyone would want to move from the UK to Au has me stumped.

the a110 is a much cheaper proposition in australia than the porsche even without considering all the options. The australian porsche importer tax is a real thing.

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

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.

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

[@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.

You can, but the dealership will hate you doing it

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

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

Cayman is very good, one of Porsches better cars. A110 is better still, at 300kg lighter in every way. That is the weight of me on my motorcycle as baggage.

[@Miroslav-v9m]

300kg lighter means much less robust, flimsy plastics, less safe, simple cheap technics in this light of findings I would say Alpine should cost 50% of Porsche Cayman.

That is called "brand-bitches" disease... similar to Apple fans.

[@cinemenico]

I think the A110 is too quirky looking for me, especially that weird rear window and its practicality is almost that of a Ford GT... pretty much non-existent. That A110 Concept they brought our a couple of years ago looked on point though. I never really liked the Porsche brand too much either except for their flagships the Carrera GT and 918 Spyder. The 911 I find just as odd looking as the A110 here. The Cayman platform however somehow really does it for me. It looks like an Italian stallion that could to laymans look like a Ferrari. But I get the base model is quite tame. You'd really need to look at the 718 GT4 and Spyder if you want pure driver enjoyment all the bloody time. But who does? Mostly you're gonna find yourself stuck in traffic driving going from A to B with the occassional empty curvy B road only... and not feeling like splurging... the 718 Cayman really does seem to make a whole lot of sense to daily.

[@BOTBreviews]

So true... although when you do find that empty bit of road... something like the 718 GT4 would be such a perfect car for that. 😊

[@cinemenico]

@@BOTBreviews yeah! I don't really need a Bugatti Chiron! A 718 GT4 will do the trick for me! I live right around the corner of the Dutch F1 circuit of Zandvoort, I'd have a blast with one of those!

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.
