Living With A Porsche 718 Cayman GTS! [10,000 mile update]

Happy New Year!

Welcome to Life In Motion and to 2023. Diving straight into the new year, I want to update you all on what it has been like to live with my 718 Cayman GTS over the past 10,000 miles or 10 months.

I start by showing you around the Cayman and then, when I hit the road, I talk you through the good bits and bad bits of my experiences with this car.

A shout out in this video is to Porsche Centre in Swindon, where I've purchased this car and my previous Cayman (featured in the video) from Jordan. They are a fantastic team and well worth a call if you're considering a new Porsche.

I hope you enjoy this video and don't forgot to comment below what you think of the Cayman but for now, I'll see you soon...

Great video man! I also have a 2018 Cayman GTS and love it! When I bought mine CPO, I too had my 4 year service light come on 3 months after ownership. The dealer quoted me 3, 100 USD for the That’s insane!!! It wasn’t until I mentioned I bought the car 3 months ago, ( and under CPO guidelines, if any routine service is due within 6 months, it is covered free of charge). So glad I dodged that bullet!!! Beautiful ride ! Mine is in GT silver :)

Have clubbed, tracked and toured in my tuned 16 BS for over 5 years and done 40 thousand ks. Incredible

Really good video mate. You have a really natural/friendly yet informed way about the way you present. Great stuff

[jonfrench]

Makes me chuckle when the boxer 4 came out it was massively criticised for sounding dreadful. I’ve found it to be fantastic, just different from the boxer 6. So interesting to hear to highlight that you love the sound

Great video again. Excited to be picking mine up soon. Mine is lowered by the standard 10mm, wish I could do the 20mm as yours looks so good, but too many speed bumps where I live. Thankfully mine has been serviced by the dealership ahead of collection and virtually new tyres, so hoping to avoid those lofty early expenses you incurred.

great review, is the interior road noise as loud as it seems on camera ?

[FPhil]

Are you on Sport PASM -20mm suspensions? How are you finding ride comfort in normal mode and ground clearance? Thanks!

[mattwrightfilms]

Brilliant work mate as always! Love your GTS, can't get over the colour.

[crzymxcn]

First time seeing your videos! Planning to do a tune or exhaust mod on it? Which one?

Always wanted a Porsche however my wife hates them. The owners of a pub down the road bought this car in this colour and she loves it. This may have just been my green light! - looks awesome BTW... Nice one and great video as ever mate

Currently owning a Mini jcw -20 and a Cayman 981 s
Amazing cars yet so different and similar
Driver cars 100%
Lovely car you have there!

I feel stupid for saying this, but one of the main reasons I'd want to eventually upgrade from my GTS 4.0 to 992.2 C4S are the cupholders (the other one is AWD for winter). I prefer to get my caffeine shot on my way to work and I just wouldn't trust these cupholders with anything.
GTS is probably as close as a very track-capable car with incredible mid-engine driving dynamics can get to daily usability, but 992 does this job even better without being any less sporty. Just the rear-engine dynamics are different, but not in a bad way, IMO.

On the seat belt buckle try sliding it all the way up to the b pillar. On mine it retains the buckle there stopping it from rattling

Super vid! I'm on the verge of buying a 2021/ 2013 718 cayman s - is there anything I need to be aware of?

[georgesheffield]

I was thinking of doing a similar one on living with a Civic type R at 265, 000 miles .

[KAHOLICSBOT]

Hi! I am looking to buy a GTS, similar to yours, what mileage do you think is a "good" place to buy the car in terms of upcoming maintenance?

[JordanH]

currently between gts/s or the new supra. i love the porsche but the servicing cost is scary 😅 what's the mileage/year of yours?

[p.a]

Really enjoying your porsche videos because I am seriously considering getting one
First thought a 981 boxster s then a cayman s.
Recently thinking a 718 cayman s but the thing putting me off pulling the trigger is how quickly these cars change hands.
If they really are as good as everyone says then why doesn't anyone ever hold on to them???

[AdamBishop-qnmd]

Not looking to sell the 718 are you :)

[christianpratt]

Your service cost seems unusually high for a relatively young and lower mileage car. Are you still using an OPC or a specialist? The two year cycle is punctuated by extras like brake fluid and the V belt, which can add up. But I’ve never paid four figures to service my 997.2, which is why I’m curious as to what you actually paid for…

Lovely car, BTW!
