Absolutely the best and most authentic review. Totally fed up with 1 day journalists banging on about how it doesn’t sound like a flat 6, of course it doesn’t, it has its own flat 4 charm and i personally really like it. I have an almost identical car, bought used, agate gray, manual, rear screen wiper and am absolutely loving it. This coming from a succession of 911’s, the cayman for me just represents the best of porsche, small, nimble and drippingly gorgeous to look at. Keep the videos coming mike , there’s an absence of genuine reviews that portray the ownership experience.

[@ForeverManual]

Cheers!

[@gregblack4581]

I absolutely want a manual base Cayman .Going to be my retirement present to myself .

[@roboto9008]

great decision, awesome for the price too

[@wardmontgomery9259]

I agree - maybe a white one with 911 brakes ...

[@danw4507]

Do it! I wish I could get one before they are gone but I’m not willing to trade my Mustang GT for one

​@@wardmontgomery9259 Brakes are absolutely amazing on base model for street. ONLY on track do you possibly need better

This was such a refreshing change of pace in online car reviews. I actually came back a couple times to make sure I watched it thoroughly. It was so thoughtfully and intelligently put together that I didn't want to miss anything. Thank you! Subscribed.

[@ForeverManual]

Thank you for such a kind review, Dan!

[@capuchinseven]

I adore my T, best car I’ve ever owned and love it far more than my 981.

[@alienm2554]

Great control on the icy roads..

[@Beauchee]

All your fault now ! After seeing your reviews I decide to order my first Porsche; base Cayman with the 6 speed (in GT silver metallic). Now the waiting game begins. Thanks for the great review.

[@ForeverManual]

Could be a long run. Looking forward to hear from you after you collect it.

[@carminered]

[@Acct1941]

Proper driving, and a thoughtful take on the base spec Cayman. Amazing job Forever Manual!

[@ForeverManual]

Thanks!

[@mcesarey]

I have a base 718 Boxster with PDK, it's the quickest car I've ever driven. I had a 981 prior, and it was slow by comparison. The 4 cylinder doesn't sound as good, but the car is ridiculously quick.

[@kw8757]

Porsche gave me a Boxster 718 2.5s PDK as a courtesy car for 4 days and I didn't want to give it back, it was superb, scary quick and I think it sounded great.

[@kennynunez6792]

I live in Colorado USA and I would never have considered a base 718 for winter driving. Thank you for the info: best 718 video I've seen yet.

[@ForeverManual]

Great update - my Aventurine 6MT 2.0 is supposed to get here in March. From what you've described, I think it's going to be everything I want from it.

Good for you . Hope you love it and I’m sure you will .

[@carlj4992]

Fantastic Mike! I agree with your observations as a 718T owner I’m fine with it’s power which is more usable than my F80!

[@ForeverManual]

Cheers!

[@TheFairladyfreak]

I've never seen such a comprehensive review before. Well done! I am a fan of the base 718 Cayman myself, and I agree that most "petrolhead" out there didn't give the 4 cylinder engine of this car enough credit. It sounds great if you ask me.

[@RaGeAlucard]

such a nice car, that full leather is so beautiful.

[@Karbonis]

Amazing review, this is the best take on the base 718 yet. I have a 'big engine, high number of cylinders' obsessed friend who is religiously against these new, small engined sport cars, and yet when I showed up with the 2.0 718 he was absolutely in love with it, and swore I must have done some modifications because it sounds too good for a 4 cylinder. Anyone shitting on the sound just haven't heard it in real life.

[@fedebe8977]

just arrived a Cayman T after a year of waiting, no leds in the night, no pdk (love the gt4 gear), no parking sensors, no infotaiment, pure love!

[@ForeverManual]

Congratulations 🎈

[@KnightBanditRider]

I just rented one of these for three days. I fell in love with the sound of the car and all of the features. Even being the automatic model, it was still one of the best driving experiences that I have had. This was my first Porsche experience, and I'm a fan boy now.

[@ForeverManual]

Nice, little car, yeah:)

[@ralfulrich6254]

That is the mistake you should only make if you can afford it. Other cars are not the same after driving a Porsche.

[@adammarkowitz7944]

Excellent and informed review, sir. I've had both the 718 base(Boxster) 2.0 and the 718 Cayman S(both manual). Both seemed quick, neither lacked for performance, two amazing cars. As you said, people don't buy these cars for drag racing, but no one will complain about the performance, and nothing is more fun to drive.

[@ForeverManual]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@wazzimachine4544]

Awesome video and a great perspective of the base cayman, an amazing car!

[@pabloalejandroperez]

Great video again! I love seeing 718 base view reviews!

[@uniwerksdesign]

This is an excellent review Mike! Well done!

[@mikeb2777]

[@ronniep9272]

Thanks for the detailed honest review. It makes me appreciate the huge low down torque of my BMW 330D for daily driving which I've been thinking of selling. In congested cities torque is king. I would still love to own a Cayman.

[@luanp.hasnay2600]

Thanks for the excellent review.

[@richardcatchlove9115]

Thank you for a thorough and detailed report. As a 718 Cayman owner, PDK, I was very interested in your review of manual. I understand your comments re clutch feel although I have driven many and found it very easy. The short shift is a definite improvement. Now your comments re a/c, here in Australia our heat is the main issue. I find the a/c is perfect! My advice is, try adjusting air flow via Settings/Air Conditioning/Air Flow and choose, Soft, Normal or Strong. In our present hot summer, 30+ C days, the Strong setting works well even when cabin is over 45C from sitting in sun. On cold and wet days, again, set Auto/Sync 22 and vary air flow set to suit, I will be surprised even in a Moscow cold ( admittedly I’ve never experienced!), it should not frost over. Try it. Again thank you and yes, the 2.0 300PS, is brilliant engine.

[@ForeverManual]

Thanks! Will check. Only have to make it to the summer 😂

[@neiljoseph904]

Great video, Mike - thank you! Car Wow has just released a drag race between a base Cayman, a GT4 and a V8 Mustang; you made the right choice!

Thanks! Yeah, my inbox was stuffed with messages linked to that video yesterday 🤣

[@coryliverman]

Best review of the car - period.

[@paul8513]

Watched this video a year ago then I went out and bought a 2018 Cayman S. No regrets at all, amazing car!

[@ForeverManual]

Thanks for sharing!

[@yinglunxi2546]

Just found your video yesterday, really appreciated all your detailed explanations in every video sir. As you said in the comments, the exist of 718 might upset some of enthusiasts, but it’s a profitable idea for the company and makes 718 base model more reachable for Porsche fans. Sadly I’m a “poor” Chinese owner of 718, but the baby 718 with 250hp still is a great fun when driving in city flows and winding mountain roads. I enjoyed my car a lot in a year of ownership, and would definitely keep this car as a daily. Looking forward to more of your quality videos😃

[@Brightsparks1960]

Excellent analysis and interesting commentary on the Camyamn 2.0T. Having owned several Boxter 981 2.7 Manual cars I have recently changed to the Cayman 2.0T PDK. Like many Porsche fans I had anguished over the move away from a flat six engine but having driven the 981S and 718 2.0T back to back I chose the 718, mainly due to the flexibility and linear power delivery. Good to see someone covering the 'base' model as so much content is focussed on the 2.5 and higher end models.

[@CapitulationTrader]

Thank you Michael. I really enjoy your videos about this car. You do a great job communicating valuable information about the car and your experiences. Cheers from Boston

[@inglebybhoy3293]

Thank you Mike. A truly excellent video. I wish I had the ability to describe my experiences with the manual base Cayman the way you can. I generally resort to, “Eeeppppiiiiiccc!……holy s1ttttte!”🙄 I hadn’t appreciated the lack of feedback from the clutch, until you pointed it out. I was stalling the engine a lot in the early days.

Great video! I also have an Aventurine Green base 718. I chickened out, and cancelled my order for winter tires. The east coast of Canada has brutal winters, but after watching this video, I might run the car next winter! It breaks my heart to see the car under a cover in my garage.

[@ForeverManual]

Cheers! ❄️

[@trevorreid468]

Really enjoying your 718 journey great videos . I took the plunge a year ago 718 cayman s in Miami Blue. Debated an earlier 6 cylinder but glad I went with the latest tech. I’ve learnt a lot from your analysis and approach to the car so thanks for that keep the videos coming

[@ForeverManual]

[@ForeverManual]

[@ryanbullara5433]

I totally agree with you on the beautiful sound the manual makes when shifting gears! I also just got my base 2.0 and built an interior that was perfect for me. It’s definitely a drivers car.

[@ForeverManual]

Congrats!

[@TheAlanFish]

This was a really insightful and complete review. Honestly much better than most professional auto reviewers would do. Of course a more thorough understanding of the car does come with living with it long term, but it is still quite impressive to be able to eloquently articulate all of your thoughts in such a concise manner. Bravo on that! Regarding the gearing, I think the main complaint of Cayman and Boxster owners isn't that they are geared so high in and of itself, though that does have it's merit, but rather the fact that they are deliberately geared higher than the 911 when there is no logical reason to do so. Typically a car with a smaller engine and less power would be geared LOWER, than the one with more power. This isn't done as a requirement to meet emissions standards as Porsche likes to claim, as the issue would also affect the 911 if that were the case. It's done in order to ensure that the Cayman cannot steal the 911's luster by outperforming it with less power. The first few Cayman S models sold in Europe did exactly that, with customer's besting the factory base 911 lap records at the Nurburgring in short order. Very shortly after that, Porsche changed the gearing on the Cayman, and even swapped out the gearboxes on the first few hundred Caymans sold to that higher ratio box when they came in for routine warranty services. They did that without the customer's knowledge or consent, and got sued in the process, with part of the settlement agreement demanding silence from those customers. Only a few of the original 2006 Cayman S with the lower gearing exist at this point. The "Cayman Complex" is real. If they ever gave a Cayman the full 911 GT3 RS threatment, it would outperform the 911 GT3 RS easily, so they will never do it. I would also note that the extremely tall gearing contributes quite a bit to the tendency to stall easily that you mentioned, which has been an issue since at least 2007 when my Cayman S was built. It's honestly the trickiest car to launch that I have ever driven short of cars modified with a high-force clutch for drag racing. The balance between stalling and slipping is a knife's edge every single time you take off from a dead stop, and especially so on an uphill. No other manual I have driven has this tendency, because none have a 1st gear nearly this tall. It's so bad they had to add a "anti-stall" timing retard switch, that numbs the power for a second or so after every gearchange by retarding the timing if you leave it active. I'd rather deal with tricky launches than a drop in power after every gear shift myself, so I disabled it.

[@ForeverManual]

Thanks for taking time writing this - much appreciated. This is the first time I see someone mentioning earlier 987 gearing to be different. As a journalist I definitely would love to have more information about that. Considering the shear amount of development and production costs of an OEM gear set, this story sounds more like a conspiracy theory to me. Like the whole timeline of the story is somewhat wrong, based on my knowledge of how the industry works, and even what the Nurburgring experience was like for a general public back in a day. Still makes me want to dig deeper. Thanks!🤗

[@TheAlanFish]

​@@ForeverManual I heard about it from a mechanic who has worked up at the Nurburgring for years. He claimed to have been working at one of the shops where the swap was discovered back in early 2006. According to his account, Porsche applies heavy pressure in order to have any print mention of it removed by threatening legal action. He said there are only around 15 or so cars remaining with the original gearbox that he's heard about, with another 200 or so having been swapped. He also said that Porsche claimed there was a recall on his client's car in order to get their hands on it, and that they were quite aggressive in pursueing it, which made his client question what was going on given that the car was so new. The only reason his client didn't initially take it in was because he had an accident at the Ring with it and it was being repaired, and the frequent follow ups trying to get him to bring the car in gave him a weird vibe. Then another client complainted about his car feeling different after service at Porsche, and they figured out what had happened by comparing the two transmissions. Initially I did find mention of it online in the form of an advertizement for one of the unadulterated cars for sale on a German website for quite a high amount, over 100,000 Euros, but I don't recall the exact number, but I can't seem to find it anymore as that car sold several years ago. It was something about the gearbox model numbers that was used to reference it, but I don't recall the specific numbers anymore. Only real difference between the gearboxes is final drive ratio I believe, but not 100% sure on that.

[@rudfil]

I always loved the Cayman and when Porsche decided to put a turbo 4 my heart dropped. Its mainly the sound for me..I live in Canada and you dont see many Porsche sports cars driven around in winter here people tend to keep them in the garage so seeing you driving all year in Moscow is just crazy to me but I guess you are the true enthusiasts in end..;)

[@anthonybayer9065]

Great Video Mike. Realworld review. I have a 718 S manual and your feedback review on clutch peddle was spot on. Its the first review that detailed this. When I first got the car I did stall it a number of times and sometime it was jerky when changing gears ( mainly first ) and I could not understand why. Being a second hand car I thought it may have had a hard life and had something wrong with clutch but this is no the case. I also thin that the accelerator peddle is very extreme sensitive at tack off.

[@ForeverManual]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@simono6520]

What a great review. Beautiful combination of information and image. Thanks for putting so much effort and creativity into this. I have an AG Cayman GTS on order but your review demonstrates how good even the base Cayman is. I’ve always been a 911 fan but it seems to me that the Cayman is a modern take on what the 911 used to be. A small fun agile sports car.

Having come from a Z4 & MX5 completely agree about the clutch. Even went back to the dealership thinking there was a fault in first gear. amount of pressure left on the clutch pedal and a rev limiter kicks in, or as you say stalls. Again, as you say, made me think I was a bad driver. One year on, learnt how to drive it!

I have this exact same car, color and all. Every single thing he said was completely accurate. Id like to add a few things....if you’re particularly tall you need to be careful. I’m 6’2 and I JUST fit in comfortably. I have the manual seats. I would get the full power seats for more comfortability. The car handles like a dream and it’s fast enough. I got mine up to 140 early in the morning on a regular New York City highway. I could’ve easily got it up to 150 but I chickened out. I honestly believe pound for pound this car can rival cars 40k more expensive

[@ForeverManual]

Thanks for the feedback! The full power seats won’t give you significant improvement of the comfortability in a manual 718. They are stiffer and the clutch travel prevents you from benefiting from both the cushion extender and cushion recliner. More on that in my Instagram - instagram.com/p/CTPPj4iI66A

I drove the base 718 in manual right before the pandemic and I have been hooked. Although i just ordered a 718 gts with the 4.0.. it's the last of the run so i thought i would get it. I still might pick up a nice base cpo boxter when it comes up..

After owning a 986S and a few Miatas. I really wanted to order a 718 Boxster base manual like you did, but I couldn’t find a single video about the base 718 until I found your videos which were a huge help. Ended up ultimately getting a 2022 MX-5 Grand Touring solely due to it being less than half the cost. Hope you are doing well in these trying times.
