    Just picked mine up three days ago and I absolutely love it. Gorgeous looks and sound, great handling, and plenty fast enough for me. I can't stop grinning when I'm behind the wheel.

    Best car in the world ! Happy to have one 😃 PS. About the brakes: You have to push the breaks a lot harder💥 then in normal cars as you used to normaly. Then you think your brain jumps out of your head and fall on the hood 😉 Nice review 👍🏼

    I know what you mean by ‘standard exhaust’, meaning it has no aftermarket system, but the gts comes with the Porsche Sport Exhaust, which is not standard on all cayman models. Great video👍

    Power to weight mixed in with low centre of gravity , making them 330 horses useable!! That’s why it feels faster 👍

    You were about to mention the light steering but got distracted. How did you find the steering? I've driven two and one felt incredibly well weighted (no PASM) and the other felt light and absent of any feel (this one had PASM) so I'm interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the video

    Good review and you’re right about leaving the interior trim alone instead of adding the carbon stuff which would look too much The yellow trim is a nice bit of retro.

    If you don't like the pops and crackles note that Sports Plus will reduce it. Of course the car is in max attack mode then, so better shift manually or it will keep revs way too high for street. Note also it'll allow more slip angles.

    Believe me, DRIVE ANY 6-cyl. Boxster 👉S👈---that's right, skip the base Boxster, drive an S... WITH THE MANUAL GEAR BOX... drive the gears into the 6000 RPM range, YOU'LL BE IN LOVE, and Never Care about any other sports cars...unless they are GTS or better! Ask me how I know? Even the first Gen 2001 Boxster S with the 3.2 flat six, WILL KEEP YOU GRINNING, as my license plate testifies. ;) MOVE UP to 2015? Nearly 350 HP will keep you laughing like a school boy!
