Hi Roger, Just want to say a huge thank you,because it was this video that made me want to pursue my dream of Porsche Cayman 981 ownership. I found this video last spring while I was doing my homework as to what vehicle to buy upon my upcoming retirement. When it actually came to my retirement date in July 2019 I actually didn’t buy a Cayman 981,as I was scared off by its ownership costs. So I purchased a lesser vehicle new with the thought of practical long term ownership,unfortunately I just could not get the thought out of my head of owning a Porsche Cayman 981. I kept watching this and many video reviews like it and eventually in January of this year I actually bought one!,as I thought you only live once and this would be my last chance to fulfill one of my dreams. It’s not an S but I am besotted with it,I viewed many both manual and PDK and I found due to a leg injury I sustained a few years ago,the PDK gearbox was the obvious choice and I don’t regret it at all. It is a base Cayman in Rhodium silver with GTS rear lights and sits on 20” Carrera wheels and looks stunning. Sorry to ramble on but I will finish by saying,thank you for helping me to realise my dream of Porsche ownership. Stay safe and all the very best. Phil

Great Video Roger....Thanks. One small PDK tip relating to your point 3, if you simply stab the throttle and release, the car will downshift to the optimum gear in readiness to go, it will hold this state for a few seconds waiting for you to nail it, so perfect if you are thinking of going for a pass on a twisty road. If you don’t give it the beans the PDK will return to the higher gear and settle down again.

The PDK really needs the sports steering wheel with the proper "flappy paddles". The normal buttons are awkward an not really intuitive, and the PDK-lever works opposite to what you'd expect (forward is gear up, backwards is gear down. All other car makes, incl modern Porsches work just the other way around). And as said below it actually does have a flat tyre kit in the front boot. But the rest of your video is spot on!

Have one too. A few points though. The front tire chatter has to do with geometry. Tire selection makes a difference as well... the OE pirelli rubber does it more than the PS4S rubber I have now. Ambient temps are the final factor. Gear selection is less of an issue if you press the pedal past the kick down detent. Agree about manual selection... very fun.

Honestly this video is impressively done, you've earned a sub. I'd suggest making the music much quieter when those wonderful car noises are playing. The enormous production value of the video shows in the wide variety of shots you've used. You've clearly gone to painstaking lengths to shoot so many angles. Noticed and appreciated, Roger! The sound work is pretty good aside from the music being overall a bit loud (esp. during car noises), and you could in time think about upgrading your equipment. You've worked very well with the tools in front of you. This video was made with the same attention to detail that the car represents! How fitting.

Ive got the 4th gen Cayman purchased at the begining of this years Uk Summer. The car's performance is quite simply incredible. I looked at similarly priced hot hatches that offer better preformance figures and are designed well to be a decent competitor but decided against it. Im so glad i did. Residule prices remain quite strong, running costs are decent, maintenance, fuel & insurance, its cheaper to insure than my Q7. Its one of the only cars ive had when you are cruising the fuel gauge goes up. Tryes expect to pay around 450 for a set of rears and thats for p zeros which you will replace before the fronts not unless you are tracking. The positive attention was really nice too, from all ages people asking questions, kids taking photos it truly has been a joyful experience. It even gets the approval from the superbike fraternity which suprised me. Forget anything else that you may have your eye on, test drive one and you'll be smitten. I covered 10'000 miles in mine this year bringing my total to 24k on the clock not once did it misbehave but does get a bit skittish around the 170mph mark analysing this characteristic its not a straighline car but a cornering machine supplying you with mountains of confidenxe with its capabilities, the feedback you get is rewarding which only puts a smile on your face wether driving or looking at it while having a coffee and seeing other people enjoy it from afar. Stay safe and all the best 👍

I have a 2007 Porsche 987 Cayman S with currently 407,000 mile on the odo...Purchased from Brumos with 42k on the odo. Original engine, NO IMS issues... Headers, GT3 Manifold, Flashed the chip 365BHP... Bilstein R 9 shocks, Machined short throw shifter, light weight flywheel... This car is ALL of THAT! The magic of changing the oil and filter with Mobil ONE or other Full Synthetic every 5-6,000 miles is the ticket... It's a "sleeper" for the street... 0-60 about 4 flat... So do not hesitate to buy a pre-owned 987 even with 100k on it... Really so long as the records are good... You'll have minimal issues... Fuel oil separator, coolant flush annually... New sport clutch at 350k. GREAT CAR! Kind of rare as most are turned into race cars...

Is this for real? I tempted to get a 987 but the mileage is on the high side of 100,000km. Your figure is in miles? 400,000miles is 640,000kms! I intend to maintain it with fully synthetic oil every 10,000km. That’s about every 6,000miles. Would love to hear more from your experiences.

I own a Cayman S Sport, Limited Edition #252 for many years. Zero issues with the car, handling is superior to any other car I ever had and as you have correctly stated, the value has in fact gone up. Especially in my case, as it is a limited edition,, low mileage, and still in showroom condition. Just had it's first 'major service' where the spark plugs and filters were replaced. That cost less than a minor repair on my Chrysler PT Cruiser! (Needed the clutch cable replaced as the little retaining clip on the gearbox side had fallen off. Off course the dealer had no spare clips only complete cables). That cost $500!!!

I,ve been kicking around the idea of getting one of these cars. It seems like the perfect sports car to own with perfect power to weight ratio!🏆🏁 Thanks for sharing the seven important facts. I might actually pick up a pair of headphones to avoid more tinnitus.😊

Awesome video bro. How really put your own personal experiences in this video. I have a 328xi now. I’m really thinking about getting a Cayman S next.

This really has helped Roger - now it’s 2020 what is the year and model Cayman you would pick today for a £25,000 - £30,000 budget?

any really Kevin, they all offer very similar levels of enjoyment, just make sure its fully serviced, get it checked independently, and older ones check ims bearing is fixed.

Finally got the Bose noise cancelling headphones, the tire inflator ........now I gotta get the Cayman S and hopefully a bird will come after !

Thanks for a fantastic video Roger. I'm on the fence on picking one up used. I'm encouraged by the fact that it makes a great daily driver in addition to the performance when you want to have some fun with it.

So, did you get one?

@@Resist_Oppression I did end up picking one up. Owned it for 6 glorious months, then moved back on to something more practical. But man was it fun while I had it! I'm thinking of getting another one when my kids are out of the house!

That's the car I should have bought two years ago... now I am stuck two more years with my daily driver's lease... these seem to be holding their value nicely, let's see how much they depreciate in two more years... I'll definitely grab one rather than a 718s....

Beautiful car…the cup holder sold it for me haha. Great work with this video though…a lot of people won’t see the work that’s gone in to it with setting up the cameras at the side of the road…getting the drone up ready to drive past etc but I certainly appreciate the effort :)

so the cup holder drips on all your electronics which causes your electrical system to drain constantly.....which means your battery ($300) will need to be replaced regularly.....just saying
