Why own a Porsche 981 Cayman S in 2021? 10 reasons why.

[@TMC8477]

Thanks for showcasing my car!

[@bradw922]

I had my '16 for 2 years and never had a single problem. 2 expensive oil changes and the silly TPS lights coming on which is an easy fix. I would have kept mine forever except I discovered a Boxster Spyder

[@williamjackson5357]

I’ve had my ‘14 for 3 years, 2 oils changes and one major maintenance, no problems, runs and looks great🏎

[@BobC59]

Jury is out for me after two months of owning a 2014 S. Replaced a PADM mount ($2,000) after a few hundred miles, and yesterday upon return from a 12-day trip, I found a small brake fluid puddle on the garage floor where the car had sat for 2 weeks. With only 23k miles, gentle prior ownership, and testimonials about reliability, I did not expect to be wondering if this was a good choice just 2 months into ownership - but I am. I am in love with everything about the car, but expensive repairs and down time are why I didn’t get a 15+ year old Ferrari. We’ll see about that leak (fluid found in frunk area under master cylinder), but I fear that if I have to do one more repair - especially if this ends up being a costly repair - this love affair will have been a short one.

I agree 100% driving my 2013 Cayman 981 daily Enjoy !

[@williamjackson5357]

I don’t drive mine daily, but when I do drive it, whew!

[@cayman9815]

@@williamjackson5357 when you do not drive it every day, I guess it stays indeed even more special on the other hand, now that we have finally our dream car, we better enjoy as much as possible by driving it daily so what is best ?? ....🤓

[@John_watches-cars]

Depreciation? Not too much nowadays on cayman s 981 especially manual shift. Still worth every penny

[@socalnsx]

Love my 981 CS!!!

[@BobC59]

Just got a 2014 myself, and man what car! All your points are spot on, tho I had an expensive repair almost immediately (PADM). My question here and now: How has your experience been since the video and do you still have this car?

[@sylviablittner7041]

Lovely color

[@juansantos1993]

Very nice porsche ! ! !

[@jonathanl2748]

Any advice when one is stuck between getting a Boxster or a Cayman? Also, glad to see that the cabin noise is not bad in your Cayman.

[@lordmaster5522]

The Cayman is the better sports car. Better rigidity, lighter, and is the more expensive model until the 718 came out. The Boxster is the softer car with less Hp and a much lower revs (7400RPM for Cayman vs. Boxster’s 6700RPM).

[@ohmyggg]

@@lordmaster5522 overstating the differences. The 981 Boxster and Cayman have the same redline, a 10hp (7 torque) difference, and are nearly identical in weight. Cayman is stiffer but even the 981 Boxster was 40% stiffer than the 987 Boxster.

[@zeblackboi]

Go with the Cayman. Look wise, the Cayman just looks more like a proper sports car and will turn heads.

[@BobC59]

@@lordmaster5522 These are incorrect statements.

[@BobC59]

Depends on why you are buying it (which you surely must have by now). I started out looking for a Boxster to replace my S2000, but fell in love with a Cayman. No regrets, tho I do miss those top-down drives on a beautiful day or warm evening. One point I have never heard made on this car (I have a 981), is how you can drive with the windows down and not get the buffitting you find with so many vehicles. I spend a day recently on a long drive in the country and had teh windows fully down almost the entire time. Between the Cayman's good visibility and the breeze that was not punishing at all, I did not miss the sun berating down on my noggin one bit! I also enjoyed the quiet when I put the windows up and took a call on my way home. The Boxster is remarkably quiet for a convertible, but the Cayman reminds me of my last two Audi sedans - quite nice for a fantastic sports car.

[@ASH-mo4qg]

Tyler. I own one. Please do provide a bit more knowledge in your next video.

[@williamjackson5357]

Yeh, to what he said!

[@pn558]

Flat six is the way to go!

[@awmjb]

Very nice. I have the same car in Guards Red. It gets a lot of looks here in small-town Canada. I have had zero issues with the car since I got it 3 years ago. I really like the wheels you have. What exactly are they?

[@TMC8477]

BC Forged RT50!

[@williamjackson5357]

I have 20.” Advant Guard rims on my 2014 Base, looks nasty yet classy!

[@Oldknave]

You’re a cool dude. Nice vid!

[@aliciablittner3938]

Nice color!

[@williamjackson5357]

Does your Cayman S have the Porsche Sports Exhaust?

[@kellygregg3688]

...so is a base not credited at all?

[@williamjackson5357]

A base is vert credited🏎, 25 less horses and a little less torque

[@panry172]

Beautiful red colour.

[@williamjackson5357]

Amaranth Red Metallic

[@weho_brian]

what color is that

[@TMC8477]

Amaranth Red Metallic. It was only offered on the 981 in 2014 I believe

[@williamjackson5357]

You are right, Amaranth Red Metallic was offered only on the 2014 year model. I have exact color on my 2014 Base. Had it for 3 years now, a beautiful car that turns everybody’s head🏎

[@robbey300]

Waffle? 👎

[@williamjackson5357]

What does that mean, this car really has zero, negative downturns!🏎
