Porsche Cayman 981 GTS - One Take

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS is stock except for a set of HRE Flowform FF01 Wheels. The GTS is the top-tier trim of the Cayman S line, with a bit more power, lots of options included, and the sportiest suspension options south of the GT4. It's a lovely car, but how does it feel after driving some very fast Caymans?

    I had to pause it at the "I'm so spoiled." It's not fair to the car or owner if you're constantly mentioning how there are better Porsche cars. Of course there are better ones, but we want to hear about this one.

It's not a super slow car, however it's not nearly fast enough to get scared of. I think Matt just didn't really like the guy, he seemed super stuck up and braggy. So Matt put him in his place by letting him now he DIDN'T have the greatest car in the world!!! Which by his comment at the end, you can tell he clearly thinks it is.

    BBDSmint I said it's merits: practicality, comfort, build Quality, good sound, good inputs, good seats, Great steering. All of that is in there. You just chose to ignore it and focus on the fact that the car doesn't feel fast once you've driven real fast cars. If you focus on the positives, you hear the positives. But to say they aren't there is drastically misleading even if the overall tone is boredom.

    I see why people were railing on you for talking about lack of speed, but that wasn't your main focus of talking with him during the drive. And a user on reddit from /r/cars said that the driver posted on NASIOC that he was completely fine with your critiques and appreciated that you spoke your mind about your preferences.

    I love how he talks about lack of speed when it still does like a 4.something 0-60. That’s not the quickest thing on the road but it’s a car meant to feel the road

    Matt, 95% of your audience doesn't have nearly as much of experience with sportscars / performance vehicles as you do. Therefore, you should wonder what they actually do love about cars for themselves. You don't have to be a genius to figure out that the soundtrack is what makes people enthusiastic, rather than the torque you're talking about which they won't get their head around anyways. But beside this I wonder; what would you rather have? 718 Cayman S or 981 Cayman S? Let's keep the 991.2 outside of this for a second.

    TheSmokingTire I've driven/cross-shopped all three of these cars (gt4, gts, 718) and I own one of them. They all share the same crappy transmission, two of them share similar suspension components, and one of them sounds like a BRZ. Is the slight bump in torque worth 2 less cylinders, maybe. But did the GTS feel like half a car you make it out to be, nope. (FYI I don't own the GTS)

    the last couple years I dreamt of having a 981 CGTS... a couple months ago I test drove one back to back with a 718S, both PDK. I ended up getting the 718S because of the extra torque, updated styling details and the new infotainment system. if the CGTS had been a manual that probably would've tipped me in its direction. I struggled with the decision for sure. I ended up dumping the 718S due to a strange feeling power delivery and got a Camaro SS 1LE which is more entertaining to drive and not used as a daily driver (or else I wouldn't be as happy with the switch). I still think this Cayman GTS is beautiful and sounds great. I don't think its worth the $85k that was being asked though. The 718S was probably worth the $85k but I just couldn't love it... "i'm so spoiled" lol.

    Dude! Great timing with this video. I purchased a 981 S yesterday and was searching "981 One Take" yesterday afternoon. Delighted to see this pop up. That said, I'll hope you'll heed some of the comments here. I've loved seeing your videos rise in professionalism and I'm looking forward to watch whatever you do moving forward, but hope that you'll focus on keeping things relatable. Your job is to criticize, but to do so in a way that's informative to your viewers. Everyone knows that a 981 GTS feels slow compared to a McLaren or anything with 400WHP. How does it feel for a $75,000 car, though? You mentioned driving the 718, but didn't provide any info related to how those two compare, for example, which would have been an awesome, fairly unique insight. When you usually get positive comments, and the ones on this vid are so overwhelmingly negative, there's probably something amiss. Still, thanks for doing these! You're easily one of the most watchable, laid back, and honest KZread personalities - I enjoy the hell out of your videos haha

    I come to your channel when I see interesting cars or when I want to see comparisons between models of the same car. Your original Cayman video is where I first found out about your channel 6-7 months ago. You really seemed off your usual personality on this one. Sure the owner was a kind of weird/uppity but you really hammered the point of how slow the car felt.
