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👍
I have owned a 981 Boxster S with Sports exhaust for 8 years. It still excites every time I get in it.
Power to weight mixed in with low centre of gravity , making them 330 horses useable!! That’s why it feels faster 👍
Personally i wouldn’t be too bothered about straight line speed it just looks and sounds like a really fun car to drive 👌🏻
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
Love this car tbh! Great review bro!
Sick car, sick review. I absolutely love the yellow, however the interior accents are just a bit OTT!
Great vid Lee. How does it compare with your M3? I've been in a few E92's and a 981 cayman gts is currently on my radar, so would be interested to get your thoughts.
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.
Maybe worn pads or fluid flush required?? OEM Porsche brakes are usually pretty good in terms of feel and stopping power....

Calling a 911 brake the greatest let-down, where they are universally recognised as some of the best is ridiculous... every motherfucker with an iPhone can make videos these days....

@@Baerchenization also didn’t have a clue about sports chrono 😂 but I suppose this is just a non enthusiasts view so relatively unbiased
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.
This is more like it!! Love it!

Nice one mate 👍🏼
I've driven a 997 love the 6 cylinder sound
Beautiful colors inside out, love the car

@Stephen Lee That's very cheeky Stephen
Love the intro 🤣🤣
I bet it's closer to 400bhp as porche have a habit of under selling the power and most of there cars once put on a Dyno out of factory develop more power , get him to let you do a Dyno video see what it's pulling 👍
"Brakes" he says! Race car drivers, journalists and enthusiasts alike all sing choruses about Porsche brakes SETTING THE STANDARD for precise, "dose-able", phenomenal brakes... but they're all probably wrong. 😉
Wait why you selling the Gloria?
Where is the video about what happened with the police mate? Or I have I missed something
Not a very torquey engine but when the revs are up there it’s quick enough, the long gearing makes it seems slower too.
I live about a mile from hanningfield reservoir and I’m sure I could here them pops and crackles
The key is great in my opinion
Either on the website or online?! 🤣 sorry to point that out. Made me chuckle tho
You can review my stage2+ 360bhp edition 30 if you want 😂
Porsche brakes take some getting used to as they are progressive but unlike anything I’ve ever driven. They don’t instil confidence until you’re used to them then they’re very very good
Get in lad 👊👊
Love these shape boxsters and Caymans. Surprised these boxsters you can get from £25k.

Have they took the driving buttons out of a vauxhall with how they look 😉
2 minutes in to the video, he is not sure whether we have already noticed that the car is yellow... all right.
😮 an outro at the end not like you lee
Take my money 😂
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!
Not under powered due to fairly light weight
Love the review Lee but Neal's Greenlight Insurance is a joke bunch of cowboys
Nice car but couldn’t spend 45k on one personally
Chicken legs in a porsche.....so what Greasy chicken legs in a bucket more like
It upsets me how he says 4 grand instead of thousand

I have never met a hairdresser who can afford a Boxster... because not many hairdressers can afford a 60-70K car on their 2.200 a month income, isn't it? That is only 10K less than a 911. So 911s are for hairdressers who received their annual bonus... oh you damn kids :)

You’re kidding, right? Mustangs are for high schoolers…
I've driven the Boxster on test drive and was dissapointed. I think it's right what they say, it's a poor mans Porsche. I really wanted a Porsche and could only afford a used model in the dealership, in the end I went with a used Kia Stinger V6.

Did u drive the base version or an S or GTS? The base one would be a bit underwhelming in terms of performance I’d imagine. The 981 s or GTS ive heard is amazing to drive
