A well preserved 914 will set you back that amount. Remember in the 70's if you had a 2.7 litre Porsche you had something VERY special. The 981 is truly a performance bargain in manual or PDK. I wish they sold a model without navigation and most power options. Unfortunately, with Porsches that would mean you pay more for less. Very good video sir. Cheers!

Very nice car and a great honest review!

What???? $40,000?? Are you kidding what the hell am I doing still driving a jetta?! Wth?

@@Snow_Cat707 Totally, I'm in Canada and there are 2007/8s for $20k usd well under 100k miles, almost all of them garage kept and summer driven. There are a few 14/15s for ~ 35k usd. I'm thinking I might as well just get an 07 base model and call it a day. Really, who do I think I am not being happy with a car like that with a smooth engine and good paint??

dachanist you done your research in the first gen 987.1’s? The ims bearing issues and cylinder were issues were a problem for that gen that could cost you to replace an engine. They fixed it with the gen two 09-13 but they’re much harder to find since nobody was buying sports cars during the recession. Currently a 09-13 987.2 can be gotten for about 25k with about 50k miles and a 14+ can be gotten for about 30-35k.

Nice review and good to see from an actual owner! You pretty much have my dream 'attainable' car. I guess downshifting with pushing the stick forward is considered more racey since you would normally downshift under heavy breaking and then you are kind of being pushed forward yourself so it's in the same direction. This doesn't matter so much for more comfortable versions. Hope you continue to have lots of fun with it. Just don't call the engine a straight 6 anymore haha. It's a Porsche, not BMW 😋

Great review, beautiful car, and Dubai what a place

Fantastic. I have one similar to yours and agree with everything you say. The smart man's Porsche

vlad you're the best

wow lots of options for a base cayman. very nice!

Great revíew thanks.

you should do a video on getting in and getting out of cars at the right time

Answering your Q: the manual - / + arrangement comes from motorsport and rally SMG gearboxes, when accelerating & being pushed into the seat, it's easier to pull the lever for up-shifts, while braking and downshifting it's easier to push. The common setup of + / - is for the "avg drivers", coz otherwise most ppl tend to get confused about it ;)

Great review, what are the running costs for a car in Dubai - insurance, fuel, is there any road tax? How much is a speeding ticket and can you lose your licence if you get caught speeding too many times?

Great looking car! Something to consider when I'm ready to replace the e60 M5.

Meant to say Flat 6 🙈, damnit!

nice review

It’s a great car and I’ve noticed the Cayman keeping it’s value more so than a 911. I want the Cayman you have but 911’s are about the same price used but older model so it makes it tough to decide. I also appreciate your take is more practical and not from the perspective with bottomless funds.

@DubaiVlad

Sharing Lungs thanks for taking the time to comment, and yes, at the end of the day you can get into an older version of a 911 for the same price as the cayman shown in the video, like you said its not an easy decision but still a good decision to have ;)

Someone asked why not the Cayman "S" model. I purchased my 2014 new and was told if you don't track the car buy the Basic 275 hp which is more than enough hp for cruising. However. getting the PDK was expensive, upgrade Harden. Karman sound system was worth the money, twin exhaust $500 pipes for appearance was imperative. It was all great dealer advise and after 42k miles this car won't be sold as long as as I'm alive. Why are buyers having issues with the ceiling falling? I haven't experienced that YET. Should I be worried??? All in all a great bang for the buck for my white exterior and black leather interior.

Good review! There's only one thing - you said that there's straight six engine in your car but actually it is not. Porsche uses flat six engines. Straight six is a BMW theme :)

Why not an S? I'm thinking about getting a Cayman, but coming out of a 335is the base Cayman seems low on power but I'm wondering if it's worth saving a few k and getting a base Cayman anyway.

Your tires are stronger than you think. 1 track day will not totally ruin your tires unless you're pushing the car like Lewis Hamilton.

I haven't used Sport+ in 2 years... Would take folding mirrors, not because I'm too lazy, but I keep forgetting to fold them out again.

Very nice car!

awesome details my man. Gonna test drive a 2015 this week... 6 year old car for $35k.... hmmmm....

I like the color

What is the price for 2 years warranty?

What is the ref of the color ? Thanks

I just learn I know have cup holders lol Thank you sir

Congrats on that masterpiece! What was the mileage when you got the car? How much was the maintenance over six months in the UAE? I'm thinking of getting a second hand car when I get there. I'm just on the fence when it comes to the mileage and maintenance though.

Thanks for the honest in-depth review. From what I've read, Porsche are among the most reliable cars/brands if you do proper maintenance - what would scare me is not the (cost of) warranty, but rather the cost of insurance... how much is yours? Some insurance companies in UAE refuse to insure a Porsche :P

When you get an unrepairable flat tire, be prepared to spend three days waiting in a hotel room for the new tire to arrive.

I have 2014 S- Never had a any mechanical problems. But I did have the roof liner come down. Also, the side arm rests had to be replaced they blew up from Fla. heat. The front headlights had to be replaced as the plastic lining bubbled from the heat. Porsche is having an issue with heat affecting the interior. Other than that a great car-and the S gives a better thrill than the regular-and it is faster

Hello im thinking of getting a used one 2015 here in the USA with 38kmiles on it for 41k USA dollars. I want something reliable that i wont have issues with just normal maintenance. would you recommend or another veh for that price point i was also looking at the 2016 AMG c450 but i hear transmission issues so im not sure

Porsche is bossy :)

I believe this is 3rd generation

“Literally” an arm and a leg?

salary for construction project management in architecture

I would LOVE to have one and maddeningly I can easily afford one too...even a new S model for that matter if I chose to ....but instead I drive a lowly 155hp 2018 Miata manual club (if I had to do over I would choose higher trim level is "S"but I just did not realize I could get Bella and whistles AND the better suspension and dif etc)....why? Because I honestly have so little self control and I'm pretty sure I would just lose my license in VERY short order. Note however that the new generation of Miata (2019 is upped to 181hp) is SO much fun and limits one so often from going ridiculously fast and yet? It FEELS like you are ....and honestly in the right canyons I can't imagine many cars doing it quicker than I can...one would have to wait for straighter road to go faster. BTW the Miata wieghs more than a 1/4 ton less than the Cayman at 2300llbs....probably the power to weight ratio is not nearly as far off as one might realize ...and just to illustrate my driving? I can DESTROY a set of tires in just a few thousand miles ....lol luclkily Miata tires are smallish (205 45 17) and cheap! ...like $500 for a set of decent summer tires or much less even if you don't drive aggressively.and opt for lesser tires.

can I ask you some questions?
