One of the best things about all of Matt's videos, they are clearly marked with stuff like "FULL DISCLOSURE: Porsche flew me to Portugal, fed me, and put me in the Intercontinental Hotel Estoril for this review." Kudos to that Matt, that's pretty cool. Also Cool Video.

So Technically this Car is Faster than the Cayman GT4 although it did 7:42 vs the GT4's 7:40 cause the GT4 is on Aggressive Cup2 Tires

The first thing that comes to mind is that this is the first iteration of the 718. At the end of it's lifetime it will be even more bonkers fast. Think about it - this is as fast or faster than 911s of ONE generation ago. 4 cylinder or not, this is a serious sports car. Great review Matt.

+hdidane00 The GT4 and R are so very similar, but the GT4 takes the R's lunch money every day of the week. The Mercede's GT is just too expensive to be considered part of this "club". So for me it has to either be the 718 or the GT4. If you have the money, you get the more expensive GT4, if you don't have the money then you get the 718. In real life I'd wait for the 4cyl turbo cayman because I hate convertibles so I'd end up with a 2.5 turbo Cayman S.

I think it sounds pretty good, at least compared to most 4-cylinder cars, but I also think the same of Subaru's.

The Boxster should have been a four all along. That would have helped the 911 & Boxster be more distinctive.

I haven't previously been a fan of the look of the Boxster, but this one looks great!

Double jealous on this one. The car and the place. Yes please.

I love the ruggedness and efficiency of four cylinder high performance motors. I've driven a vintage Porsche 912 and a 4 cylinder BMW 3 series for years, wonderful and simple to drive and maintain. Carbon reduction and therefore efficiency is the mode of the age, so this new Boxster is all good. Thanks for the review, very fair and unbiased!

I wouldn't say it sounds like "sti" it's just that sti and this cars both have a flat 4. So you should say it sounds like flat 4. Like you say cars sounds like v8 but not the name of the brand.

Nice video in that it reflects the fun drive that the 718 S is. So much better than the 981 and to my humble view, ticks more boxes for me than the 911 (and yes, i have owned a 911). The 718 stands on its own now and is no longer a poor mans porsche and i love it.

And you forgot about the 356.

I just test drove one and it felt fantastic. without sport exhaust it only sounded "okay" but with the sport exhaust I think it would sound very decent. it felt very sporty and buttoned down through the on/off ramps and quick but not extremely fast. I originally was thinking I wanted a 911 so I could have back seats for my kids... after reconsidering, the back seats are not useful enough to warrant the 911 even though it did feel great to drive (991.2 Carrera), I think I'll grab a Cayman or Boxster S (hopefully a GTS when i'm ready to buy) and still have money left over for a 4 door BMW 340i or something. Pleasant driving experience!

My only thought is that Porsche decided to differentiate the Boxster /Cayman to justify the extra price of the 911. But when the first boxster appeared, the slogan was "no more 4-cylinders", young guys don't know that but I am old enough to remember it.

great review! thank you for being direct & honest!

Thanks! I ordered a 2017 Cayman (same as box three engine for 2017) and was very worried about how it sounds but at the same time wanted to have the newer model for the performance. I've read so many forums complaining about the sound (many of whom did not drive it) being similar to a STI, but the higher revs definitely sound more Porsche, and I've decided that I don't even dislike How STI sounds and the lower sounding pitch is less irritating (not that I would mind the more traditional Porsche sounds)

And you get to keep the noise and feel as well. The problem is the EU emissions which is destroying fun cars. Honestly, watching your video; I couldn't care less if it was electric now. Almost every other reviewer is lamenting the demise of the 6 cylinder. The new car just doesn't seem to have the excitement anymore. At least, the type you want from a Porsche. That engine would be perfect in the new STI though. But in a Porsche; it has to have the X factor.
