The Porsche Cayman GT4 Is One of the Best Cars I've Ever Driven

Stop giving this car good reviews or it will appreciate even more in value, and I'd like to think I'll own one eventually!

[@LifeInElSalvador]

I don't care if the 911 is better. I just love the style and looks of the Cayman.

[@Sam-K]

Yes, it just looks... Just... "Sassy"...! But 911 is more of a 'driver's car', a SERIOUS one at that and I respect that... And you should too, mate...!

[@3rdeddie]

the cayman is a better design. Mid-engine is just inherently superior to the 911's rear engine. The only reason this isn't the "best" Porsche is because the 911 is their marquee. If they put new 911 GT3 in a mid-engine cayman platform that would be a way better car than any current 911...it's all done in the name of profitability and brand.

[@sdemosi]

El Salvador agree and the top gear guys concluded that the Cayman was probably better than the 911 if only Porsche stopped restraining it so the 911 would be the flagship. The GT4 answers that question by being the less restrained Cayman that has car enthusiasts raving about its handling and performance.

[@jW-kr5xn]

The cayman's design looks great but I don't like the top of the car being too round, I love boxster's design more, it would be great if there was a boxster GT4

[@alessiodinan436]

couldn't agree more, driving experience of 911 is much better than cayman/boxster.

[@voyager7793]

[@greenepanda]

What I like about Mr Demuro is that he is completely car review first. Not interested in "cool" music, doesn't wear yeezy, and in most cases gives a cut and dry opinion of the vehicles he is reviewing. The man stands (physically) BEHIND ever vehicle presented whether he likes it or not. Respect to the builder. The guy just dwarfs any other car blogger by far. The clear difference between wealth and riches.. I don't expect many to understand this rationale although it might be why he has the following that he has without them even knowing it.. if I had to sum up his legacy in one word I would describe my Demuro memories as wholesome. And you don't get that much in the automotive industry. Keep on trucking Sir D!!

[@WorldTravelerCA]

I'm picking mine up this week and found this video and I'm loving it even more, thank you Doug

[@chrisray4748]

I love the fact that unlike a lot of car manufacturers, Porsche focuses on weight as much as they do a big engine. So many automakers (especially American) get a 2 ton car and slap a massive V8 or V10 in it and call it a day. But lighter cars are 10x more fun, even if they are slower.

[@UCTeeth]

I am glad you made this review! The Cayman is SUCH a good car, you nailed it right on the head, it is what the 911 used to be and why the 911 became so iconic before it changed. I love my Cayman S, enough to make me start a youtube channel based mostly around my Cayman. Thanks for this Video!

This is what the 2020 Toyota Supra should have been, but isn't. Greatness 2.0 And I love that is says "GT4" everywhere, and "Cayman" nowhere. Thank you, :Porsche!

Not really. Supra is front engine sort of Japanese muscle...

[@AriesUmbra]

[@dheyman2504]

Most all Porsche owners are constantly smiling.... The Cayman is a pure joy. I have a 2008 Cayman S and a 2017 Macan GTS. Driving anywhere in either of these vehicles is fun and satisfying. I loved your enthusiasm reviewing this car.

[@sadmanh0]

[@julians7268]

oh sir I do believe you misspoke. The 997 was the very best model of the water cooled generation, and was smaller than the 996. it is bigger than the 993 but smaller than the 991 still. Loved this review. Keep them coming! You've been cranking the vids out and it's much appreciated.

[@michaeldasilva8834]

I agree with Doug on the Cayman GT cars. I am a long time 911 owner and have a 991.1. I absolutely love my car but will say after driving a Cayman GTS, left a smile on my face and reminded me of the 911's of old. I would imagine that the GT4 would give even a better feeling once driven. IMO, the only other which would rival the GT4 are the 911 R, GT3 or GT3 RS!

Doug great review...I love my GT4 !!! Still doing meticulous break in and even my wife loves the carbon buckets the road you were driving on are the same as my daily commute only downside will be putting it away up here in Canada for the winter!!

[@robnickson9089]

Break in? Wow did you really miss the memo that "break in" is a myth? Porsche ran your car flat-out before you even got it...

[@hellobooom]

Bob Nickson thermal expansion during the factory testing is not an issue, that is why. running on the road requires break in because of higher wear from higher temperatures.

[@hellobooom]

Bob Nickson wow you didn't get that memo did you.

[@TheCorrectionist1984]

hellobooom , why would the temperatures be higher on the road? I don't know about the factory test he is talking about but if it's not being driven on a road or track (I.e. Rolling road test bed), I'd actually think the temps would be higher. I do think break in could be a myth in some cases and not others. Metallurgy is so variable. maybe in some cases it behooves you to drive the car like it's stolen from the 1st mile where and others you should baby it. But I want to see data on this.

[@SISTIC1]

hellobooom not with a new Porsche, phone a Porsche dealers and ask, you’ll see that I’m right!

[@m.e.345]

Nice whip, I have yet to see one of these on the road. I like how Porsche kept it simple with the Cayman GT4, a 6 speed manual with a clutch, no frills, the way it's supposed to be with a sports car...

Came here from 2019- that "This" was pretty weak. I'm glad your "This" has improved.

[@enforcement2]

Argh, you people lead to inanity through entertainment!

[@993mike]

I've had five 911's including a 993 Turbo and a 997 GT3, but this is the best Porsche I've owned. What would I change? Shorter gearing (which everyone agrees), and in a perfect world I would pay extra for a 3.8 GT3 motor - the 997.2 engine would be perfect. The engine cover would need to be raised for the intake, so make it glass to see the motor!

[@rileyhughes5613]

"Here's a bus plate on a Mercedes C-Class" LMFAO

[@Shahzad-Khan]

I absolutely love what Porshe is doing right now. They don't care about 0-60 times, fancy dual clutch gearboxes, and better specs on paper. They just allowed the option of a manual on the 911, and it sold out instantly. The new 911R is manual, no fancy computers and sound proofing. You hear every bang and clank, like in an old car.

[@Greencoast215]

And this is why your cheaper American car that "goes faster" will never actually be better.

[@machinegunners3000]

lol of course not but they're fucking awesome

[@ThePineappleKnight932]

Except the Corvette is actually a viable contender that goes head to head with cars that cost 10s of thousands more. And the GT is legendary in the field of racing. And the Viper TA fought McLarens and 918s on nurburgring. Heck, the Focus RS is a reasonably quick track car for under 50 grand. If you think America only has the hellcats and Camaros, then I think some horizon broadening is in order.

[@Hole_Motorsports]

The regular vette can't keep up with this and the guy at NJMP with a c7z would overheat after 5 minutes on track. Focus RS wouldn't touch it. The ACR and the GT are another story though.

[@slopknockers9641]

I personally would even go so far as to say if I had the choice (and the money to buy one) at the moment I would probably go for the auto. N.B. I am 17 and have not driven many performance cars yet.

[@jonathanbywater5999]

I think your wish came true! He drove one just over a year ago.

[@A_G102]

Doug, I'd have to disagree with you about this car's quirks, since I am a cayman owner and I definitely know of a few. Ill give you one: it's pretty similar to the TVR you drove a couple months (years?) ago. Let's say the battery on this cayman dies. like fully dies. You'd think it just needs a jump, right? Good! Open up the front hood, and give it a jump. Only problem is, the front and rear hood switches are electrical, so you can't open it when there's a dead battery. So you can't get to your dead battery, because of the battery. Porsche must have a back-up plan though, right? It involves taking the front drivers-side wheel off, then taking the wheel well panel off, and fishing around in there until you find a cable to pull, which is the manual trunk release. The only problem is, that a standard cayman comes with wheel locks, and the wheel lock is stored in the front trunk. So essentially, you have to pay for a tow to the dealership in order to charge your battery. (I ended up finding a charger that uses the cigarette lighters in order to open it) There are a couple more things that can get annoying with this car, as fun as it is to drive. But I thought you should know each one.

Loved the dual clutch and speed it could obtain and crisp shifts. My next car will be PDK Caymen S, or if blessed the GT4. Toying with the idea of a ZL1 however it's a large car. I'm used to small cars such as my Golf R & A4.

[@darylcjackson]

Wow Doug you went up a notch in my estimation when you said two things. First the current 911's are too big vehicles and second that balance is better than all out power. I love to look at the 991 but I think the 993 and the 997 are just about perfect cars for me.

[@Datsun1]

You really should make a proper full length video with the gt4

[@nightrider6976]

you need to drive the boxster spyder, has its quirks like the top and its softer, but it feels just as fast, and its even better with the top down
