The reason I bought one is because of the old tech. Tech doesn’t age very well and my analog gauges will look great forever! I I love all my physical buttons which have an incredible feel to it.

Comfortably the best GT4 video out there for prospective buyers. Awesome work folks.

Lane assist…. ‘Should you be buying a GT4 if you can’t stay in your lane!!?’, classic! 😂

I daily my '23 GT4 and have over 8, 000 miles on it since picking it up in March of '23. She goes to the movies, work, hardware store, and to stock up on food. I was fortunate enough to get one and have loved the experience.

Spot on, IMO. It's winter here in Wisconsin in the USA and my new-to-me 718 GT4 that I just purchased in October is stored for winter hibernation, so I found this video looking for more GT4 content. Really truly, great cars. I managed to get about 1500 miles on mine before storage this year and with the manual gearbox I love it. I sold my E39 M5 Dinan S2 package and my E46 M3 after buying this car and both of those cars were gems - I do not regret selling either of them. Kept my E92 M3 for a summer daily, so the GT4 is still going to be a weekend/track car, however, I fully agree that it's livable on the street. This car has the best manual gearbox I've ever used in 25 years of driving manual transmissions. Everything about driving this thing is wonderful. Due to the long gearing I find myself in 1 lower gear than i would in most other cars - I very often downshift from 3rd to 2nd and I love it. The car is so pure. Buy one now before it's too late

I own a 718 Spyder and I’m glad the car is ‘old tech’. I don’t like nor want the digital displays and no button (haptic) style interiors. I also love that it’s smaller than the 992, which is in my opinion too big now. It not being a 911 is just a thing said for bragging rights I think. I own a highly modified (997) 911 as well and the 718 Spyder/GT4 is still a great car.

Great job Ben! Damn nice presentation. Thank-you for not chatting about gear ratios, and instead hitting upon how easy it can be to drive, and how fast it is if you know what your doing. Really enjoyed the 5 points/reasons to own.

Favorite GT4 video. And I've watched them all.

So good I had to come back after 4 months to watch again.

The Porsche Cayman GT4 is a masterpiece, plain and simple.

Excellent review. Porsche GT division cars and some GTS cars are a sight, sound and feel experience. You know you're alive when you drive one. The 718 GTS 4L and 718 GT4 easily punch the 911 Carreras ticket, these in 992 guise have become large 'feeling' and the interiors could be from any other german manufacturer. These 911s are more grand tourers than sports cars, the exception being GT division cars. Some of the best drivers cars ever built by Porsche, and in no particular order include 981 GTS, 981 GT4, 981 Spyder, 718 GTS, 718 GT4, 718 Spyder, 718 GT4 RS and any GT3/ GT3 RS. The common themes throughout, NA engines and outstanding handling without over reliance on HP. In other words they deliver a fully integrated driving experience whether it be on a country road or at a race track.

Very good review - balanced - really a car for true car enthusiasts

I used to be a Porsche guy and thought so many years ago until I sat in and revved up the NA V10 of a Lamborghini Huracan in Corsa mode. I was totally sold at that moment!

[thomasmurdock]

“You’ve got to think of it more like a kind of ISA with a flat six engine” 😂. I picked mine up new 8 weeks ago and love it. Great review!

[Under_Construction]

Review was sooo good, I watched it three times.

[rayestefania]

This is an amazing car but I went with the GTS 4.0 because it was easier to obtain and in my opinion, it is better for the street since I will never track my car. I get the same engine, manual gearbox, great suspension and many of the other goodies in a car that is 85 % of what a GT4 is. Great video!

Looking at one today in Austin Texas, IT WILL ME MINE and I will love it as I did my 74, 74, 74, 2.0 914's and 77 911s. At 66 it's my next Porsche adventure, friggin awesome ;)

[aircooled]

Great review and a brilliant car. Best bang for your buck Porsche! Hands down! Recenty sold mine and had massive fun in it.

[flacjacket]

For me the biggest problem with the Cayman GT4 is the Boxster Spyder. I am generally the coupe over convertible type, but the Spyder is definitely the prettier car and being able to open the roof up and get that sound more directly to my ears would tip me over the edge. Especially given that by all accounts nothing it lost in terms of perceived rigidity or weight between the two.

[MrRoyck]

Talking about ISA with a flat six, the 987.2 Cayman was all that I could afford to keep my ISA intact, mare mortal here. Nice review

[malcolmscott]

Great review from CAR’s Ben cluster of expert reviewers - great review 🙏👍🎯

[stevebartlett]

That's a great video Ben, thanks. More from you please!
