The Porsche Cayman's 2 Trunks are More Interesting Than You Think!

Check out flatsixes.com - a quickly growing Porsche blog that has been featuring some of my videos recently. It's pretty good!
The Porsche Cayman's 2 Trunks/Boots are actually More Interesting Than You Think - Here's a long, detailed video explaining why.

[@jeffhall92]

There’s a special connector at the fuse panel that is pulled out and used to connect jumper cables in order to pop the front trunk. Also, next time you want to “bump start” your car, use third gear instead of first. The gear ratio of third is more suited to start your car than is first.

[@mikey3088]

The front hood would be the bonnet in the queen's English

[@jeffforbes6286]

I share your enthusiasm for the Cayman and LOVE my 2008 base model. You should add to your knowledge of Cayman secrets with a reading of the secrets of the “frunk” in the owner’s manual. One can actually “jumpopen” the “frunk”.

[@drwindsurf]

This is a fantastic video on the storage in the Cayman; way more information than I thought was possible to know :)

[@stevenreichertart]

Thanks for the terrific tour. You're funny.

[@kevinsamuels5868]

Very enjoyable and good fun to watch ! Love the low bar factor !!!!! 👍

[@giurgindemilan]

Much appreciated, thanks for sharing all this information. Now I want a Cayman :-)

[@TheJeffChase]

Just came across your channel at random... I'm not a big car guy, but enjoyed your style of presentation. Your enthusiasm for cars makes it fun to watch. Subbed.

[@AutoSugar]

Great vid! Really enjoying this channel man!

[@alexbueno5815]

Little Lost Lotus don't watch this guy he bans people from comments

[@markzijnrules]

To open the frunk with a dead battery: go into the fuse box in the drivers footwell, push and release the button with charging bolt graphic on it, that will take the positive jumper cable, put the negative to the door catch, this will give you just enough power to release hood latch.

[@bryanneighbour6978]

Another excellent video bud. Keep up the good work.

[@snowboarddan5899]

Just rented one for my upcoming trip your video helped me decide based on trunk space.

[@PShawnFaherty]

Thanks for explaining where the tire repair kit is. And golf clubs do fit in the back!

[@DoneDifferently]

Your videos are pretty fun. Just bought a 08 CS design edition from NC, waiting for it to be shipped to me in Cali. Keep up the fun videos. Any mods coming?

[@richardkeith8007]

I wanted to add (because it is very important to me personally) that you can fit a full-sized hardshell acoustic guitar case on top of the engine shelf. Amusing side-note, when these first came out and I thought that some day in the future I'd be able to afford one, I went down to the Porsche dealer in Greenwich CT where a very nice dealer was kind enough to let me see if my guitar would fit. It actually fit leaning against the rear edge of the shelf, but since I now have a 2006 Cayman S, I think the top shelf is a better place.

[@Ripst4rt]

Well done fella.

[@swerne01]

I just stumbled across your channel with this video and I think you do a great job. You're naturally gifted as a speaker and you definitely have passion for your subject. I have a suggestion for a video. Right now a car that's getting a ton of attention is the new Lotus Emira. From what I know about it it's begging to be compared to a Cayman. Maybe you could be the one to do it.

[@bigmudtarrs]

Good video dude. There are a few 911s with a hatchback! The 993, 996 and 997 Targa models have a hatch that makes accessing the rear storage and seats much easier than a coupe. IMHO that makes it the most practical 911 for a daily driver. As with the Cayman the top adds weight. Some point out that this makes it the least sporting of the 911s. I think it's all about what you want to the car to do. The 911 Targa of those models is the one to get if you want a DD. The new 991 Targa is completely different. Hey What are the little compartments on each side beside the engine cover?

[@kuladeeluxe]

Excellent video

[@gnaegi444]

987.2 owner here.. I do fit 2 sets of Golf Clubs in the back (regular size)

[@alliejr]

I also enjoy my late gen 987.2 Boxster in the navy blue over tan interior with the larger 19 inch 911 wheel option. Golf clubs fit in the trunk and golf bag trolley fits in the front trunk. Good luck with your Cayman. They are great cars.

[@bryanneighbour6978]

Exactly what my only real concern was. Will the clubs go in there. So bag in the front, clubs in the back and load them into the bag on arrival at the course. Easy enough. Thanks

[@ImmortalThor13]

For the hood ding protection, get a Hood Protector (yes. it's a thing)

[@queenofsheba6787]

Thanks for your efforts. Great video. I think as i know that the hatch can be open wider for maintenance if you push it from the side edge. 👍👍👍

[@77youdoc]

Really informative 👍👏 subscribed🙂

[@theboyisso6960]

Are these secret compartments also present in the newer models? Like the most recent ones? Thanks. Really helpful video!

[@parisivana]

Thank you it is good video for newbie like me that want to buy a Caymen. :)

[@DeepCosmic]

From where I'm from the front is called a bonnet, back is called a boot. Compartment places are called by either 'the front' or 'the back'. Eg: chuck it in the back, pop the bonnet.

[@mikenicol1593]

Love this guy! Just one comment though. In the UK, and I'm sure other countries, there is a legal requirement to carry a spare tyre, or at least be able to repair it. The repair gunk and compressor is there to avoid the extra weight of a spare tyre whilst still being road legal, not because some non-German guy decided to do some other guy's job.

[@markbd9775]

Carries a pirate flag along "just in case" lol

[@jimlong527]

Agreed the Cayman is a great motor car, my Boxster front cold stuff, rear hot stuff when you go to the grocery mart.

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

You can fit a full set of clubs in there if they're in a lightweight cart bag (not a big bulky tour bag etc). You may have to remove the driver and set it beside the bag though, depending on the size of your driver.

[@ashj1979]

I would remove the passenger instead or you will be going nowhere

[@hermittanimoto9325]

Tks great detail frunk to trunk, seems I'll stick to a new 86/brz purchase soon instead of a used Cayman.

[@alexdeleon8507]

Thanks for making a case for hatchback sports cars and NOT sporty wagons. The 2+2 hatchback sports cars are especially gone. We used to be able to choose among several like Porsche 928, 944, Trans Am, Camaro, 3000GT, 300ZX, Celica GTS. That category is now down to only the Audi TT. My perfect daily would be the beautiful Alfa Romeo Brera but it was never brought to the US.

[@alliejr]

NEVER NEVER NEVER slam the front (or rear) lid closed. They are soft close. Simply set them down and _PUSH_ on the Porsche logo until it clicks.

[@alexbueno5815]

alliejr don't watch this guy he bans people from comments

[@jeffhall92]

I don’t even push on the logo. It’s too far up and there’s a possibility of denting the hood in. I always push right in the middle directly on the edge. But then fingerprints are also annoying. LoL

[@recklesslyarrogant7242]

It’s just a car. And it’s not yours. If he wants to set it on fire let it be. It’s his property.

[@banjopete]

Many experts say don’t push on badge.experts mind you!

[@yamahapilot]

The front hood is made of aluminum. If you close the hood by pushing on the Porsche emblem you will eventually dent your hood. There is a pic floating around somewhere illustrating this. I spread five fingers near the center tip of the hood and push down slow and firm.

[@castieliubar]

there is a trick about opening the frunk if the battery is dead 😁 you can read about that in your porsche manual

[@stephenoverstreet9898]

Great video! I have a 987 Boxster. Wanna swap to check the rigidity? I’m in the Memphis area.

[@alexdeleon8507]

The second generation 911 Targa has a rear window hatch that opens and makes the rear seat and shelf as accessible as the Cayman.

[@MacInTheNet]

Can I put a dog back there? Perhaps removing something? Great video btw :)

[@100thomasmagnum]

I agree a ton of space. But i hardly stick anything in there though. Lol.

[@simongchadwick]

Another great video! I hope your Cayman has seen the last of its turo.com days, especially with the worry about renters closing the hood on bulging luggage ;-) About the Boxster vs Cayman rigidity: the Boxster was first sold in 1996, and the Cayman was launched 9 years later with the 987 models. The Boxster was designed from the ground up to be structurally rigid and strong, and the chassis and body design and materials are both the same for both Boxster and Cayman. A lot of folks track and race Boxsters, and there are no common issues with rigidity. As PCA member Ronald Vetteron said: "I suspect that for many of us driving these cars........the stiffness and precision of the chassis is more capable than those of us driving the cars.....or said another way, our skills runs out before the chassis becomes a limiting factor". Finally, the Boxster's Center of Gravity is lower than that of the Cayman, because the Boxster's roof mechanism is lighter and lower than the Cayman's heavy metal and glass roof and hatch.

[@jonathanl2748]

You’re a funny phucker! I appreciate the humor and the info. I am seriously considering a Cayman, and had previously only considered 911’s . It would be awesome if Porsche made the engine exposed under transparent glass, as Ferrari does in some models.

[@c.t.intl.2063]

Hey can u fit golf bag in the back trunk?

[@andrejbodnar]

Hey. Can you put one or two xiaomi 365 electric scooters in to the trunk? Thanks :)

[@Slickpete83]

u should buy a clear aftermarket engine cover lid , now that would make the cayman look exotic

[@jeffhall92]

That would look cool. You then lose the insulation which keeps out the heat and sound. I currently have the insulation off of mine and it sucks. LoL

[@DasIstGoose]

@@jeffhall92 Yeah- You'd then have to make an attempt to keep the cabin cool- especialy in the summer! It does look very cool though!

[@willsull22]

Porsche is actually quite happy with customers DIY and modifications, one of the easiest cars I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. Still to this day, my 08CS👍🏻

[@TubnQT]

I can attest to the strength of the rear hatch. I was just rear ended by a large truck at 50 miles an hour. My bumper is trashed, the floor of the rear hatch buckled, and I cried. But the engineering prevented the force from hitting the engine, and I walked away safely.

[@woody82901]

Nice review but isn't there a small storage boxed on both sides of the engine cover?

[@Mechonomist]

Yep you’re absolutely right. I’ve already gone over those in previous videos a couple times so I didn’t want to be too redundant.

[@joecox8909]

You forget the little cubbyholes on either side of the engine.

[@matthewboyer6876]

Does a golf bag fit in the rear trunk?

[@CFMLEAP]

In the U.K you measure trunk space in litres. In the U.S you measure the trunk space in how many bodies you can fit in.

[@saw4106]

thank you! now I decide to buy a cayman instead of m2. but here comes the most important question: where do I get all the money ?

[@user-wg7nw3mh2e]

The front is the bonnet not the boot. you just have storage under the bonnet, like a guy wearing a stove pipe top hat.

[@MuziNotes]

Can it fit a golf bag?

[@kaushikambadipudi8278]

1:00, doug DeMuro though

[@Namesi]

D E M J I M M I E S D O

[@chrisharbilas5998]

Boot & bonnet so I’ve heard in other videos

[@yaboiihanz]

Finally an American that cares about British English 💪🤓

[@djbrianc]

The most efficient use of space in a mid engined car is not the Caymen. That title goes to the Fiat / Bertone X1/9. That car had front and rear boots, a targa roof that fit in the front boot only taking up an inch of space so that you could get things in it with the roof too. And way smaller than the Cayman. It was amazing. Neither my Elise or my Alfa 4c can do that. Nor the Caymen for that matter.

[@starga-fr7qx]

Like a Porsche 914 but with italian sheet metal & free rust included?

[@starga-fr7qx]

I could fit my Winchester 70 with 26 inch barrel and my 1903A3 in the rear of my Gator. And a shit load of ammo in the frunk. other then a 944, i don't think you can get that kind of storage in any other sportscar. and yes sports car, because I also track mine And i got my tent and camping gear with me as well. Shooting range one weekend, Race track the next.. living la vida loca.

[@hendeeze]

So you know that you can't access your frunk with the battery dead. Yet keep your battery jumper in the frunk lol. PS don't store it in the trunk too. For the same reasons.

[@rickyham2991]

Great video, i really enjoyed your perspective on all the little quirks of the Cayman. Just FYI the blue cap in the truck beside the oil filler is for the windscreen washer fluid, not the coolant. So there is no chance it will spray out all over the place. Please post more videos about the Cayman. I love mine, but like to hear other peoples opinions.

[@yamahapilot]

The blue cap beside the oil filler cap in the rear trunk is for coolant. The windshield washer fluid reservoir cap is located under the front hood, drivers side.

[@tome9009]

The windscreen washer fluid has a blue cap but it’s in the “frunk”. The blue cap in the rear compartment is for the coolant, so be careful when opening.

[@christopherklanica4155]

Good videos....... less "Jazz Hands" ;)

[@whaterfoo]

who's he talking to 60% of the time

[@JaimdeVries]

What kind of colar is the caymen

[@DasIstGoose]

Appears to be an Indigo.

[@Nathan-cv6jl]

where is his eyes

[@porscheguy09]

It sounds like you keep saying Boxer. Just to clarify, it’s “Box-Ster” and not “Boxer”. I’m not sure what you were saying but it sounded like Boxer to me.

[@yesgo4887]

Ryan Lange oh ok

[@joshespino5653]

" R U S T L E M Y J I M M I E S "

[@MaipuruSyrup]

My sedans boot can fit at least 4 humans, probs 8 if you use a saw. .

[@yavormartinov6723]

What is your job?

[@hananas2]

"the foot" omg no way you just called it that XD

[@ChauffeurGoPro]

You can check also the seat for the car museum, since this is a fuckin old car.

[@abdunnur_t]

Funny geeza😪😏

[@marcguimaraes]

You are so cute and in love with your car 👍👍

[@alexbueno5815]

Marc Guima don't watch this guy he bans people from comments

[@vwsaiphone]

I 100% agree lol

[@ThePolaroid669]

You are so so gorgeous. You should model!

[@kareem2457]

Frunk

[@vwsaiphone]

Ford Fiesta offers a lot of room for stuff but not the look of your Porsche

[@chrisogrady28]

I enjoyed this, next video topless please :p

[@vwsaiphone]

Ok daddy ;):)

[@vwsaiphone]

Bro miss me with that straight shit bro

[@Quibeaux]

*puke*

[@vwsaiphone]

Kibo21 why is it puke ?..

[@booboogaloo2152]

I just enjoy watching you talk, talk, talk. Nice car but who cares.

[@Jwdude123]

Dude has a teenagers high voice.

[@ryanjohnson8555]

Neurotic, full of conjecture and for the most part, not very interesting. Are you just having this channel to show off your car as a tax dodge?
