You and Nick Murray are the best Porsche reviewers out there, honest and down to earth, presenting facts which matter more to the regular buyers. Keep up the good work & thanks!

Exceptionally well put-together review. Exactly what I needed. Thanks, Zack.

It is sad to see you having so little views. You're such a good reviewer. And i've been subscribed for a long time. Greetings from Spain.

At 2:41 an Aventador passes by hahah

I have been enjoying your content in one form or another for years and I had no idea you were colour blind! Keep up the great work!

the perfect mid engine sports car

The Porsche Cayman Is My Favorite Porsche out of all the others out right now. I mean come on.. . . Just look at the lines and body!! Sexy as hell! I really wish I could afford one. . . Forreal!! Great Video Mate, Cheers.

Great video, thanks!

Short and precise, thank you 👍

The blue one in the video is simply perfect ... Dang !!!! I want one !

Thanks Zach. I don't see that many S models with that options I want - PTV, exterior and interior options, x73 suspension, larger wheels, sports steering on autotrader. Do you recommend another site in Canada.

No, they don't charge you 4200 for stitching :) That buys you the GTS leather/alcantara, with carbon fibre pieces, etc - and the deviated stitching is included. If you wanted to configure the stitching only on a Boxster S, it would cost you ca 1500. You have to configure every piece on the door separately, 3 or 4 pieces per door makes ca 600 per door, plus whatever for the dash...

My GT4 was only a few thousand more than this which I could easily sell tomorrow. Thanks for the review Zack.

Very good content

Great video of a true Iconic car. The 2014 version is the one. Love how the buyer at 5:04 deliberately took the grand total to $100K club lol. Sadly, the tree-huggers have killed off this wonderful timeless-looking motor with the new nerfed one in no way worthy of the name. It sounds like an grumpy baby compared to this!

Or you can buy a used '14 Cayman S with PDK, Sports Chrono, PASM, PTV (LSD), Bose, Sports Exhaust, Carbon Ceramic Brakes, Full Leather, & other options with only 8k miles for $59k, that's what I did. Essentially, a GTS without the alcantara & carbon fiber for $40k less. Let those old rich folks pay $100k for a new Cayman & then snatch it up 2 years later for a big savings!

Nice review. Are you actually colour blind? I'm not sure you can drive in my country if you are? I'm intrigued to know if you have to take extra tests to remain safe? I know it's not like black and white and you can learn what colour is what by different shades.

Ah I am green-red colour blind as well, I understand the slight struggle!

Alcantara is a big ripoff. Costs a fraction of leather and they charge more.

ive been looking into this car. i owned an frs but sold it after a year because it was so noisy on highway. is cayman any better? i like canyon carving but i gotta do 45 min of highway to get there. it is comparable to which car on highway (for road and wind noise)

there's an active sport exhaust option available, to switch between quiet and loud modes, and there is quite a difference, the quiet mode is very good, not a head-wrecker.

Wow - better in every way except the sound. That is saying a lot given the way many journalists raved about the GTS - including Steve Sutcliffe, Chris Harris and others. Also, for me, the front bumper looks better. And like my Ferrari 360, the sound is certainly part of the driving experience. Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate your honesty.

+stingers98 The GTS is a great car but it's only a slight improvement over the regular S. These special packages always come out for the last year of production before a new car arrives. BTW, there are a lot of GTS for sale right now, you could buy one used and trade it in on the new S.

Motormouth Canada I'm really hesitant on buying a used 2016 GTS with 5k miles on it because of resale value. I know that it's the last Cayman with a NA 6 cylinder engine, and it's a GTS. But I really don't know if it's price would appreciate with time. And if it it does then how long do I have to wait for that to happen? To me in addition to the great driving experience, I also see it as an investment opportunity.

C Snoopy this is not an investment-grade Porsche. It is a modern-day sports car and will depreciate just like any other vehicle. It might not appreciate at the same speed as some other cars but it will depreciate. If you want to buy the car and enjoy it and know that it will not be worth as much in the long run. Investment-grade cars need to be ultra rare and usually 20-plus years old for them to appreciate in value and this is not that

I have one of the or the last last allocation for a 2016 Cayman GTS in Canada. So the question is keep it or order the new Caymsn 718S. What say you Motormouth Canada? Keep the order or order the new 718S? You have driven both.

+GalacticosFC The new 718 is better in every way except the sound it makes. This new 718 is almost as quick as the GT4. If you can live with the turbo-4, I say get the new one. Many believe the GTS is a special car but it really is a last-year package to get people interested in the car before the new car arrives. Just my thoughts, you have to decide...

Anderson Ontario allows manufacturers to mass-register their vehicles, so test vehicles very often originate in Ontario. BC is a bit pickier with mass-registration, so they're featured less often. I'm about 90% sure that's the answer.

@@TheTreyVidz I hate FWD in winter, I want AWD or RWD for winter driving. And the non lowered versions of Porsche Cayman or even better 911 do good to great in the winter (the 911 is almost like AWD because of all that weight over the driving wheels).

No talk about its weakpoint being the steering?

This and the F type are the best looking cars on the market right now.

why would you get options for the next owner? If I am speccing a car I am speccing it to my liking, not the next owner. Paying $4k for an option so the next person will be happy...not going to happen.

i like the look a lot better than the 911s

Configuring your car for some future hypothetical buyer is such flawed logic - I don't subscribe to that view at all. A great review otherwise however, very clear and concise. What a fantastic car and would be even in 'base' GTS form!

Wouldn't the alcantara steering wheel get all nasty from the natural sweat/oils and dirt on people's hands? Plus, what if you're eating a cheeseburger and driving? Then get fat / greese on the steering wheel? I don't see it washing off particularly well. Or, what if I'm shifting with my cheeseburger in hand, and the burger falls apart mid-shift and lands on the alcantara shift boot?? Not cool man. Not cool.
