To all the haters, i think he does an excellent job, Steve or Harris are entertainers while Matt is more of an analyst and has a calmer approach. If you don´ t like him simply don´ t watch the video but stop insulting the poor man, he´ s doing his job and bringing you FREE content! I think he did great and if you think you can do better then have a go i´ m pretty sure most of the commenters wouldn´ t be able to do such an objective yet decisive review!

No, it is the audio engineer… they need to fire him asap.

Poor Matt, he probably has to read through all the comments saying "where's Steve gone?" and "matt is so boring" and it must be horrible for him, Matt knows what he's talking about and I think it's a great review.

Terrible audio. can't hear what the guy is blabbering.

The moment i saw this guy i got bored already. Steve r u ther?! Autocar please entertain us again. Carmakers are now making better cars, and what r u bringing us? A man that would tell us that the cayman has now more hp and make us feel that we should have just read the brochure or visited porsche's website and see the specs instead?! Oh c'mon autocar! We want steve!!

Watch the Chris Harris review. no point in watching this mundane shit.

"In the car in front, is Walter Röhrl, we supposed to be fast enough" - cause Walter is reading newspaper and drinks a coffee...

Great review guys! Loved the camera work. Also that Porsche is fantastic!

MATT, you're so descriptive and informative I just wish you were a little more animated! Feel free to be a yob (or whatever you Brits say) and let loose! Just show us how the car feels with your animation! That's the only way we can know what it feels like!

I'm always impressed with guys that are able to drive hard while narrating its got to be mentally exhausting. This review is great clinically but doesn't do much emotionally. The sound of that 3.8 makes me feel warm and fuzzy though.

Must be hard putting all this work into these great videos only to have a bunch of whiny, entitled children complaining about this and the other thing. Anyway, don't listen to the idiots. Lots of great info, great driving, awesome filming.

if you want really great review by actual can enthusiast, watch Chris Harris.

@ThisIsMTH

9 жыл бұрын

Agree you can't deny Matt's talent as a driver. Regarding PDK, that's my preference. I've driven a GTS PDK and a C4S manual. As I'm not a racing driver, I can get more out of a car with paddles and a pair of clutches. Why someone would prefer a stick I can also understand, however.

More Sutcliffe!!! No offense to the driver, but I couldn't make it 2 minutes into this video without wondering if he was trying to put me to sleep. When I come to autocar I want to see Steve reviewing and its just that simple!!

When the review started i was like: steve ..steve ..steve ...ohh shit nooo

Sound is way too low. And bring Steve back !

You need a professional here. A man who speaks clearly. Aren't there ANY drivers out there who can express themselves besides Randy Pobst?

This guy holds the world record for putting me to sleep at the fastest speeds. (I'm saying he's so boring he puts me to sleep in race speeds)

Just saw who was the presenter and had to stop the video :( Maybe he is a great content editor, but not right for your on camera stuff :( I hate criticizing people here, but please know this is purely professional. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just want to watch the show and enjoy every second of it.

Sorry if this is a bad question, but one could "modify" a Cayman, right? Like put aftermarket engine enhancements to make it even more powerful?

Old review, however I felt the reviewer did an excellent job. Surprised to see all the hate.

you guys forget the lapel mic this filming? I could barely hear him over the road and engine noise.

So the wireless fails and your stuck with the cam's on-board natural sound mic !

It should have PDK version. lots of boxster base owner already did the 3.8 conversion and PDK works perfectly so why not.

Bring back Steve and drop this boredom guy , please carmakers make pressure

Now- who paid attention to various news, found out that Porsche 'could' build in a manual gearbox, because Porsche Rennsport had a different model with manual in the works and it was a synergy. Last model after the GT4 which came out was a 991 GT3 RS. WITH PDK! Is nobody except of me interested, what Porsche has in the works (will definitely be something very sporty) which also gets a manual??? Wanna know!!!

Although Steve is indeed excellent..........this guy is growing on me, give him a chance He has the driving skills this is clear............ but he doesn't flaunt it, which is nice

"It's a bit harsh" he says, holding back tears.

It's weird that this Porsche could not take any sensations and emotions out from this anchor (journalist) ";-)

Sensational.! Ticks all the boxes and then some. Guards Red, C'est Moi.

Yay another new Porsche that looks exactly the same as all the others

What a car... I Had a boxster spyder.. Loved it. I think they are doing a boxster gt4/spyder correct?

*Dreaming of a Cayman GT4.0 RS...*

Can you wear a better mic? I can hardly understand you. You sound like the captain of a commercial flight. I can never understand what those guys are saying.

Excellent review. Well done.

I just love Autocar - fantastic review once again.. So what Porsche are trying to tell us is, get the Cayman GTS and it needs to be PDK - 7 gears and shorter ratios or get a manual but suffer slower times.. not about pushing automatics are they.. much.. you could get the GT4 but they are sold out!!

Try buying one! I Called almost every Porsche dealer in the UK and they all say that their allocation is sold and will not accept anymore orders. What is the point of making such a big noise about a car that less that 100 people can buy

Porsche makes great cars but they're sold a la carte. Their cars have NO standard equipment, they charge extra for everything.

Good review, but when you're talking, try to lower a bit the engine's noise, it's sometimes hard to hear what you're saying

I cannot believe Steve isn't reviewing this

The Cayman has grown on me I do admit that but I still see no reason in having one in their ( Porsche ) line up. We have the Boxster and the 911, someone correct if I'm wrong you have the all out street/track monster and than a baby Porsche. Why the Cayman ? Anyways, I knew this was coming it was only a matter of time. Looks good can't wait to see more videos.

what's wrong with the audio with all of your recent videos???

Easily one of the most beautiful cars ever produced. Just.. wow.

Don't forget to say that this was shot in the beautiful land of Algarve in Portugal

I think Matt is great journalist. But for gt4 review I was expecting Steve

Can't wait to see the aftermarket tune and add twin turbos....hehe

I can't think of a single thing this car does better than the 997 GT3. Inferior power:weight than a £55k Lotus Exige V6 too. Really can't see what all the fuss is about. I have a lot of respect for Matt Prior but I'm left no clue as to what makes this car such a big deal. Does sound good though, I'll give it that.

This guy's as exciting as watching paint dry. BRING BACK STEVE.

From what I understand in this review, the GT4 seems to be a limited edition, is that the case and if so how many will be produced...anyone?

Anyone know what happened to Steve Suitcliffe?

If Chris Harris and James May had a baby. It would be Steve Sutcliffe...

Could barely hear what the driver said. Did anyone make a soundcheck before recording the voice?

audio and needs better lens for the flybys or maybe color grading

First Porsche in a while that I've actually liked the sound of.

Yeah I initially thought "where the fuck is Steve?", but Matt can drive - whether Walter was going easy on him or not....

Where is Steve? Matt you are good just wondering if Steve is still with Autocar?

Its fun to see so much good footage from drones. =)

His voice works better than my 30mg Xanax.

The audio was horrible but the car looked really good though. For the money z28 or z06 is a better choice.

This guy has no enthusiasm whatsoever. I'd have a hard time choosing between this and the Cayman R.

This lav microphone was not plugged in ...

Great car; absolutely wrong journalist to report on it.

I have to admit, when I was loading this video I was saying to myself "I hope Steve is reviewing this". It's more about the car though but wish Steve had done this one.

Does this car have parking sensors? reserve camera?

Audiolevels, please ....

Let Jethro review this car!

Very bad quality audio, struggling to hear what's being said.

Long time no see steve, where is he?

offering only manual transmission was a head fake by Porsche so people wouldn't notice that adding PDK paddle shift would make this car even faster at the N-ring. They did the same to the new Boxster Spyder except that didn't want it getting the GT3 dept suspension and steering. If a wet sump GT3 engine was possible in a Porsche Spyder, wich would obviously come in PDK and Porsche added GT3 suspension, it would be faster than any of its variants like the Cayman and faster than the 911 GT3 itself. The fastest cars have the engine in the middle and no weight at all on top.

If you don't turn down the engine noise or turn up the speaking mic then how the hell am I supposed to hear or care about what your saying?

Seriously where is Sutcliffe? I fell in love with the GTS after seeing his review and I was looking forward to his impressions on the GT4. he is so passionate about cars and you see it. This gentlemen didn't tell me a thing I don't already know, plus he got some facts wrong!!! Steve where the f r u?

Better sound would help, maybe use a different microphone setup.

Actually, Matt is very informative in a way that Chris Harris would never be as he is too busy monkeying around. Just go and watch Chris if you want that. It's nice to see another style of car review, an informative review which talked alot about the car's technical changes.

Bored at 1 minute into the video. Lol.

Brilliant, informative review! I just wish I could afford a Porsche, amazing car's!!!

Where is sutcliffe?

The audio on this video is absolutely terrible. Step it up gents.

You have improved since the C63 video .. The car though ...

great review matt!

0:18 "oh no this guy again..."

This guy need to have his mic turned up...and be more interesting

you could buy this car instead of a ferrari california ad still have a lot of chang left

Not a bad reviewer by any means but I didn't sub to this channel to watch him. I like Steve even better than Harris when he is on the ball. I would be really happy to see him back at it soon!

Who did the sound on this video? Yikes! I hear more background noise than the commentary.

Yes

Am i the only person who doesn't miss Steve?

No PDK...for now. I wouldn't put it past Porsche to do about face on this and offer a PDK option as some sort of "special edition" or "GT4 RS" or some other contrivance next year or the year after. They aren't ones for leaving money on the table.

Interesting, but need to work on the audio!
