The charm of the 911 isn't necessarilly being the most ballanced platform on the market. Even when driving an old 996 Carrera, the progressive understeer at the limit that's communicated through the steering feel, the weight transitions you can feel....all these things make the 911 a special car.

That intro! Swapping cars to the beat is so good!

LOVE that camera angle in the boxter while yuri is talking about his love of driving. Very well done review.

I’m happy with my 718 Cayman GTS, manual. I also like the 911, but there is something about the modern styling and mid engine design of the Cayman that appeals to me. If I had a 911, it would possibly be the Carrera T manual. The Cayman caught my attention ever since the first generation. Your neighbors green Cayman looks great!

I’ve had a discussion other day with my friend exactly about these two cars and which each of us would choose, and next day-BAM. and STRAIGHT PIPES made video about it, thank you!!!

Great video as always. Highlight of the vid " The FType is like a girl you meet at a Iron maiden concert, the Porsche is like a girl you take to your parents.

Do appreciate the conversion guys! I was typing this comment as you started saying that lol. My friend back home, relatively new family physician, bought a Caymen GT4 ,mostly for track use (Portland International Raceway, in Oregon), but he drives an A3 as his daily. I sat in it, but it was at a family dinner at night, so didn't get to rid in it. As for these two...convertible would be fun honestly..

Waited tooo long for you all to do a review on the cayman GTS 🙌🏽

Ever since the Cayman came out, it has been one of my favourite cars. They haven't changed the look too much, so it would be the car of my choice. The Boxster looks really good too, but I prefer the lines of the coupe. Great review as always and I love you are reviewing my favourite car company!

Once more Yuri and Jakob excel! Kudos!!

Thank you guys for adding the US conversions! I am always curious to know the prices of the cars you review and I really appreciate you both for appealing to both Canada and the US. Keep posting great videos as usual!

Just got a 2006 cayman s-manual-sport chrono. They are the best car for the price. 3.4 liter flat six. Pulls in any gear and handles so well.

How could anyone give these guys a thumbs down? Most entertaining car channel on youtube. Kudos guys!

The intro and editing in the beginning was superb.

Thanks for the conversion prices excellent video as usual

Had a 911 and now a 718 Boxster S. much prefer the boxster both in looks and pure fun factor.

The best and most clarifying review

My 09 Boxster S manual was near perfect. I recently traded it for my 16 GT4. The Boxster never failed me in the 100,000 km that I owned it. You gotta love a Porsche.

I’m glad you guys like psi on the dash, and I’m glad you give torque numbers. How about using power:weight ratios to compare all the cars, and then telling us what you like out of the top ten? Power is all butt dyno in the end. Also, that dirt spot is the only place where rust happens on Porschae, it seems.

moonw5 Your STI has unequal length headers giving it the rumble, listen to the new gen WRX with a boxer 4 and equal length headers. Sounds pretty similar to the cayman.

The parking brake situation I think is to mimic a pedal-style parking brake. Pulling the tab would be how you release the parking brake.

Best. Car(s). Ever. I have 2011 987.2 Boxster PDK and it still makes me smile every time I drive it. Golf clubs fit in the trunk (up to 2 sets assuming modest bag size) and folding push cart fits in the frunk. The top is always down. GTS is cool but you get 99% of the enjoyment from a base model.

Chalk/Crayon on works for me on the GT3 for some reason. But I got Lava Orange.

I didnt think l would ever love a car more then my 981 C Gts. It took me a while to get it, l was so use to a different sound track and feel of my 981, but Jesus! What a car. I recently had it tuned. Stage 2 gets these pulling harder and faster then a gt3 over the quarter mile! Thats serious performance for the $$. This thing pulls out of corners like my 981 could only dream about 😂. Its crazy how easy it is to drive well and drive fast. Awesome 🎉

I love my 2007 Cayman S gen 1 and within that price range, nothing touches it for driving pleasure, its simple awesome 😀

It will be interesting to see the comparison between this and the C8 when it comes out.

I have a Porsche Boxster with the naturally aspirated flat six and PDK. I love my car and your review of both summed up these two perfectly! Driving the car everyday it makes me smile and never has let me down. If you buy an 06 to 08 you might have the IMS bearing issue so buy an 09 and higher for piece of mind. I’ve driven my car on the track at the Sebring International Raceway and it’s limits were higher than mine. If you don’t mind not having the fastest car for your money, you will fall in love with the Cayman/Boxster. I live in Florida so I bought the convertible with no regrets!!

yea i have a 2007 Cayman S and it is amazing, priced well nowadays too. I had the same feeling about the manual trans being a little spongy, it seems they haven't changed that even with the new one. i put in an aftermarket set of shifter cables from Numeric racing since they are very commonly used as a mod, and it makes it so much more rifle-y. if you ever buy an older cayman , get those cables.

Want to see these against the new BMW Z4 M40i ! Or the just the boxter (since they're soft top convertibles) and then the third car as the Jaguar F type S ! Please make it happen :)

Great review, one advice and I know it's not your car At 7:11 on the video, there is only 72 km left for the fuel ! For good long run performance it's not good for the car To be driven for low fuel into the car, its proven. Just my 2 cents, I have my BMW for 9 years, following My 4 Rules at now 400.000 km without any problems. Love watching your reviews at all the time 👍🏼

Hey Yuri, if you can, go for a short drive in ur neighbor's green 987 caymanS. It's shockingly good! It handles SO well, (not as fast of course, NA motor), but the feedback from everything is a lot more raw than the newer ones. Also, nice vids as always guys!

My question for you guys is would you rather have one of these or the M2 Comp?

Another Great video!

Thumbs up for the US conversions! ... Actually, thumbs up because TheStraightPipes...

987.2 Cayman owner here. The Cayman looks better. But as soon as the weather gets nice, it made me miss my ND Miata. Then you wish you had the Boxster. Boxster is also much cheaper used, you can get a low mileage Boxster S for the same price as a low mileage base Cayman. Get a used Boxster. And make sure it’s gen2 to avoid potential IMS issues.

And I was worried the GPF would be detrimental to the loudness of the exhaust! Heated multifunction steering wheel can be optioned if you're feeling a shortage of switches.

Great video! Personally I’d go for the old 6cyl Boxster gts! Sounds way better.

Originally Porche Australia priced the Boxster AUD$5K cheaper than the Cayman equivalent. A couple of years ago they went more traditional with their pricing and the convertible became AUD$5K more expensive than the fixed roof. Having owned both I'm a Cayman convert. More rigidity, less flex, solid roof security and save some cash when buying and insuring. Never owned a PDK which is the best example of a twin clutch automated manual you can buy...if only the Golf R came with PDK! Porche Australia charges an extra AUD$5K more for Miami Blue...and that's where my money went.

15:15 LMAO Jakub's expression

Looking forward to the Cayman T review. If it wasn't for that engine sound I would pre-order it cuz it fits my budget and has everything I look for in a car. Not sure what to do??? Am looking at 2012-2014 911's Carerra S right now and also Caymans up to 2016. I test drove a 996 last week and it's a spectacular car. I know it gets a bad rap for reliability, looks like a Ford taurus inside but smiles per gallon are hard to beat on this one.

The visor check got me 😂

In my 2016 cayman gts, though you are in sport +, it may auto rev-match for you, but you can still rev-match manually. I rev-match when i want in whatever mode. Hope you understand what i mean.
