Porsche Cayman S: Can It Top The Boxster?

When he drove the Porsche Boxster, Alex proclaimed it was the best car Porsche makes. Now he's driven the new Cayman S and it's, erm... probably a bit better.

The cayman s with the PDK box actually does 0-62 in 4.7 seconds. This was recorded by lots of companys that tested it.

Mate, you do know that Boxster and Cayman are just an ECU flash away from having exactly the same power as the 911.

The Cayman S is my new dream car.  Great review as always.  I have been waiting for you to do this video since the first gen Cayman video (which was also a great video).

Finally a video about the Cayman! Waited so long for this.

I kinda like the boxter but I'm not the biggest convertible fan so this is perfect.  If only it had a panoramic roof.

I've always liked the Cayman a little more than the Boxster.  I would gladly take the Cayman anyday.

LMAO "it's like Chewbacca playing the didgeridoo" ...love it!

The only fault I find with my Boxster S is exactly what you said about the clutch pedal, so I am grateful to find it is a design fault, not a repair fault, thanks

I see you went with the GoPro Hero3+ black...The superview mode inside the cabin says it all. Great video by the way

[spencer]

Love your videos they seem to get better and better. Excellent review, this is the exact car I'm saving for.

Front bumper design on Cayman looks sportier than Boxster. Still, super happy with my yellow Boxster S, especially when listening to its amazing engine and pse with the top down 🤙

One of the best engines noise demonstration EVER :P

The Cayman nose/front bumper is not the same as that on the Boxster, as the reviewer claims.

[kilove]

thank you..its  about time the cayman gets it prop's ..well done again..and good keep the glasses on ...

Great vid as always, but I still think the Boxster is better than the Cayman. You cannot really ootice the 10bhp difference, both are very torsionally rigid and you can lower the roof on the Boxster during a sunny day. :)

Both are great cars, but there is no better pure sports car experience than top-down driving on a warm summer night with that flat 6 wailing right behind your head—especially with PSE.

Cabin noise level is much less in the 981 BS than in the 981 CS. On a long journey, this could become a real issue in the Cayman.

The Cayman has finally come of age. However, I'd rather get a GT86 and save a load of cash.

[swessels]

Enjoyed this video very much.  

I would like to see more quality reviews of the base 981 series.  When you look back and compare the base Cayman, for example, to the Porsche 911 from not all that long ago, it makes an excellent choice.  The Cayman/Boxster S & GTS are currently getting all the press (and they are fantastic sports cars) but it's easy to get all caught up in the emotion and lose sight of how wonderful the base model 981s are.

2:53 that problem only comes if you are weak in your legs, it is a quite hard clutch but its because its a good sports clutch, if you think the clutch is hard on that thing, wait untill u get into a Porsche RS 2.7 or a RSR (classic), i tried sitting in a RSR a while back and that clutch was not... easy. (it felt like the break peddal)....
