These cars has 2 different personalities. I don't know why everyone argues about how many hundredths of second faster the Cayman or the F-Type goes than the other one, you won't notice it. IF you were going to buy one, go the store, touch, squeeze, sit, feel, and drive the goddamn cars and see for yourself which one who makes your heart stop. Maybe someone just doesn't like the speedometer in the porsches and won't buy them for that reason, maybe someone just doesn't like looks of the Jags. Everyone has their reason. The car should fit you, you should not fit the car, that's why different people buy different cars.

The Cayman GTS is almost like a track car that can drive on the road. It handling especially for performance is light years ahead of the market. A basic Cayman can be had for 40K but gives super car like performance. The F-type is an amazing car but not in the same league as the Cayman which is one of the best production cars ever built. It is cheap and extreme fast but also has amazing handling. The Cayman is all about handling speed is a secondary concern for it (even though it is still fast).

Agree. I've owned and driven a lot different Porsche models. If you're looking for a true drivers car beside the track this is actually the sweet spot. Very emotional, great transmission, not too big, best looking cayman generation (imo), low maintenance costs and a great flat six engine (Mezger engine like construction). A bulletproof, as a GTS rare model with maybe the best exhaust sound of any non-hypercar Porsche. I've owned a manual and a PDK and think the best configuration is X73 with PDK. Anyways fabulous car !!

Excellent review and beautiful camera work, sir. Sorry to tune in 7 years late, hope you're doing well. I had several Caymans, my last being the 718 S, manual, a perfect sports car. Now I have a '17 F Type V6S like the one tested here. I'm in love. There's just something special about this car.

This is one of my favorite AC vids...the onboard footage is brilliant. I could do with a bit more onboard footage as its so beautiful. Thanks

Great review, but I might be bias as I have a GTS and I love it. I didn’t cross shop the Jag as my requirements were 1) daily driver, 2) around 3,000 lb, 3) stirs my soul for looks, sound, and driving, and 4) a car that is ready for 2-3 track days a year in stock form. While the Jag can hold its own in 3 of these groups, I wanted to move away from heavy cars. The Cayman provided all these and then some. My GTS was a monster on the track for me last week while literally makes my chest tingle when I think about getting to drive it every day. I almost got a winter car until I thought about not getting to drive it every day and just ordered a set of winter wheels/tires. I literally can’t think of a way to improve upon it outside of more power, we are all junkies, right?. That said, it’s already too fast for the streets and I only really missed the power of my previous cars when I was chasing one GTR and one 996tt on the straights at the track.

My wife and I followed a red V6S for about 40 miles down the A96. The Jag' has a very pretty behind and a great sound with no discernible S/charger whine. My wife was, as ever, driving briskly in an RS6 performance. The Audi was like a red -rag to the red Jag' ... so game on. The guy rinsed his Jag' .. maximum attack, sounded fab'. Thing was, my wife wasn't racing, merely driving briskly. She could have overtaken the jag' at any point but given the speeds involved we thought of the Jag as an early warning unit for mobile speed cameras. When the Jag turned away the driver gave us a big wave and flashed his hazards. He was delighted and had a great story for his mates in the pub and we didn't have a speeding ticket. Win - Win.

I have, possibly the last V6 F Type off the line in 2020. What a car a true keeper. ICONIC!!! 4 cylinder Cayman anyone?

Congrats, what did it cost? I'm sure you can afford it, but the gts 4.0 and gt4 will also be collectable. I'm here because £35k buys a 5 year old jag v6s with 30k miles, vs a 981 s that's 10-12 years old with 40-50k miles

The Porsche Cayman GTS is more perfect, but the Jaguar F-type V6 S coupé is more Special. What would I buy? Well... I don't know... The Jag is so beautiful and the Porsche is so perfect... Maybe the Jag is enough in terms of machine, and has it is, so much better good looking, therefore I believe it is a smart choice!

These might have been a similar price new, but the GTS has held its value incredibly well and is at least 15k more than the equivalent Jag 2nd hand now. I was looking at a base 981 Boxster or Cayman, but am leaning towards the Jag now as you are getting a lot more for your money.

​@frouchitude1916 I hope you're right because I just bought one.

So just traded in a 2015 cayman base with a manual transmission for a Jaguar F-Type with an automatic and they just approach the sports car from two different directions. The cayman always wanted me to go faster and so I would. The jag is comfortable just being beautiful and fast as hell when you want it to be.

The jag is a lovely thing in its own right. I think sutcliffe got it right when he said against other competition in the class the F type would be the front runner, but the cayman gts stands alone as probably one of the greatest drivers cars of all time. Sadly, probably the last of its kind too

When you start looking at the 911 vs the F-Type R, both are great cars. Porsche still looks like a sporty Volkswagon vs the Jag IMO. I love 911's. For me it's the 911 4S or the F-Type R. Porsche is very refined after 50 yrs of fine tuning, I wish they had more of a road presence like the Jag. The 911 4s also costs approx 20-30k more than the F-Type R. With the 16 Jag coming out in AWD I think it's going to gain that much more value vs Porsche 911 4s. I would love a 911 GT3 or Turbo S, but then were looking at around 130k+ for the GT3 and 190k or so for the turbo. I think I have to have a 16 Jag AWD R.

I first heard of the F-Type and thought.......Jaguar can not have made a car that is anywhere near as good as the E-Type. But for me, they have. They also created the car with the best sounding supercharged V6. It is all enough for me to put up with waiting for a month for some parts to arrive in the US (waiting on a new headliner atm).

ewt415 The Jag is still an amazing car to drive and it does sound amazing as well. The Cayman just happens to be one of the best production cars ever built for tracks. To be honest I think it still looks amazing the Cayman. My Audi RS5 is now a little dated even though I think it has amazing track capabilities. Have just driven a Cayman extensivily and can say it is the new king of the tracks especially for around 50K,

People keep forgetting to mention the most important difference, the engine placement. The Cayman is a mid engine care, the F-type front engine. This video demonstrates the superior corner grip of the Cayman.

Love the the camera work in this vid. That power slide 3:58 is sweeter than a Mother's Day card.

As per MOT records, the Jag has had a much buzzing life so far with 56K miles while the Porsche has done only 27K in 9 years!

i really like this video , i really do...

as much as i love the cayman, my heart and ears yearn for the F-type.

0:54 that limiter sums it all up...

Great shots in the vid

Man I've been waiting for these two cars to be put head to head. Just beautiful.

I preferred the "broken" mic in the Cayman because of much more ambient sound. It sounded like I was there sitting in the car next to Steve. Maybe you could add more of the secondary mic in future?

What a brilliant test, great moves..;-))

Yeah but what he's not telling you 60K is just a few options spec up the diff and PDK and some other things and it's way over 65-70K! OK lets get this out of the way the F-Type is Jags first REAL sports car since I would say the XK8! The Cayman is Porsches baby! It's all Porsche does so it should be good! Jags first real sports car and it's nearly there with a car that's been around since 2005! Well done Jag!

Cayman with the manual transmission all the way. The handling is just perfect and it's a blast. Such a shame you're stuck with an automatic with the beautiful looking and sounding Jaguar

Nice video...and I can hear you this time! :)

The CGTS' rev limiter sounds excellent!

I really love the Cayman and Boxster over the 911 ... I think it hits the right price point, quality and looks ... The 911 has always seemed way over priced to me

I failed to notice the quality of the jaguar cabin because my eyes where hurting from looking at the pixels on the satnav and in the instrument cluster (in year 2014), while my fingers where busy adjusting the cheap plasticy seat-controls and turning the over-assisted steering wheel. Other than that it was pretty nice to drive, and the sound of the V8 is pretty mental.

I’d have to agree with Steve Sutcliffe, if there’s just one car I could have...it would be the Cayman GTS, it’s just Brilliant!

Great video as usual Steve. But does it feel like you get more car for your money in the Jag? I would probably take the Porsche as I like to drive like my hair is on fire but park both of them in a car park and the Jag would just seem like a bigger investment. Maybe its because its the smallest in the Porsche range?

These 2 cars remind me of the M3 E30, it's all about Handling, feeling and balance between the engine and the chassis.

I think, there is nothing more I want than a Cayman... Don't care which one, as long it has three pedals. I've never driven one, but judging by the reviews it probably is one of the best cars you can buy today for less than 150.000€. And above that, you have the 991 GT3 or soon the RS version. Porsche' 2014-15 lineup seems to be unbeatable. I am blown away. The whole team in Stuttgart deserves a hefty bonus this Christmas :)

But completely different cars: The F-Type is a Touring Coupe. Great sound but feels way heavier, bigger and softer. The 981 Cayman GTS is something special. Your heart will always choose the GTS but sometimes your back would go for the Jag. Design wise both are great.

I still watch this video, because of the sound at 8:29

two of my dream cars. would take both of them.

Always been a porche fan. This jag though.... my goodness it's sexy. 1 of each please. As if I could ever afford one.

I was driving on the M25(London UK) the other day and it was raining really heavily. i saw a Boxter spin out on the other side in a straight line!! Driving thrills huh? lol! Hope no one was hurt!! For real world driving my advice is if you live in the UK then buy 4WD or AWD, unless all u do is City driving, its much safer and you can boot it anywhere whatever the weather. Rwd, save it for track days

The F Type is just such a pretty car! When Britts put their hearts in it, we get real beauties!

when would you not be in the mood for an F-Type. I have this car and can't get enough of it. When i am not driving it, i am watching videos about it. V6-S is amazing. Was considering the Cayman (also an awesome car.) Great review

you know the thing is, u see Porsches everywhere, ftypes are very special here, so easy choice

By skimming through these comments I can't believe how many people think the F-type is better looking - I mean did you even look at the Cayman? It's such a beautiful car!

Although the base prices are similar, I'm willing to bet the 'as tested' prices of the cars in this video put the Porsche 50% higher than the F-Type. I priced out a GTS on the Porsche configurator and easily got to $100k with the options mentioned in the video (ceramics, TV diff, sport seats, and a few options). That's F-Type R money.

The rev limiter of cayman sounds sublime 8:29

That manual gearbox, hitting that rev limiter, eargasm.

Both of these cars look beautiful, especially in red. The F-Type is arguably sexier but the Cayman is not far behind. It's gotten a lot nicer since the last version. As to which to buy, it really depends on what you're after. If you're like many people, who get most of their thrills from straight-line acceleration, then the F-Type will put a smile on your face every time. It had me giggling like a child when I test drove it a while back. The interior is fantastic as well, especially if you're used to BMWs. The Cayman is more for people who enjoy carving canyons, curvy freeway ramps, or days at the track. It's a different thrill, one that takes longer to master than just mashing the gas pedal. The Cayman just let's you push the car with a lot more confidence than the F-Type. The one problem I've had with Caymans is that they came off as being a poor man's Porsche. It's like, "this guy probably wanted a 911 but could only afford a Cayman". These days though, I wouldn't doubt it if people with money bought these GTS models to use as track toys.

There needs to be a action movie car chase between these two.

This Porsche.. Incredible that when you have it in front of you, it looks more beautiful, and the sound.. Nothing sounds like in the video. The Jaguar is just marvelous, I've seen one and it looks very different from the others sports cars, and that's make its personality. But I'm a Porsche lover, so I would choose the GTS.. with a short trip in the F-type before ;)

It is weird how these two cars look very similar at 7:27 Yet we would argue for hours on which car looks better/more exiting.

this must be one of the best reviews out there... fantastic video material... plus since chris harris is on "pay-tv" now, autocar climbs the throne of automotive reviews with ease in my opinion... good job!

Does anyone know the model year of the ftype v6s coupe

I'd pick the Cayman GTS. Basically every pro that's driven any Cayman variant agrees that it is *the* driver's car of our time. That said, I actually think the F-Type is a bit more attractive. Not that the Cayman is ugly, by any means, but the Jag just captures that classic sports car aesthetic, while also looking totally new and modern. The F-Type S manual would be hard to pass up, but the Cayman wins in the end, just for its perfectly tossable balance.

Sorry, wrong address!

Having driven the Cayman GTS and Cayman S back to back I must say the GTS is where my money would go. It's so much sharper you wonder how they did such a great job. Hmmm time for an upgrade I think. The F-Type is great but there is plenty of time for a Jag when I'm 65.

So bassicly these are the 2 best sportcars on the market today for that kind of money.. I would have to drive them both myself before I could make a choice.. On looks though I would go for the F-type.. Probably the convertible over the coupe as I'm just a sucker for convertible driving..

We are living in the greatest car times there has been as far as cars go. Its a hard to pick since I love the whole jag thing, but Porsche enthusiast first. Would have to drive them back to back to pick the winner since logic says GTS but eyes say Jag especially the rear.
