Great Video Roger....Thanks. One small PDK tip relating to your point 3, if you simply stab the throttle and release, the car will downshift to the optimum gear in readiness to go, it will hold this state for a few seconds waiting for you to nail it, so perfect if you are thinking of going for a pass on a twisty road. If you don’t give it the beans the PDK will return to the higher gear and settle down again.

Fishing Adventures Hawkes Bay glad to hear you liked it, means a lot to hear this, thank you so much

Hi Roger, Just want to say a huge thank you,because it was this video that made me want to pursue my dream of Porsche Cayman 981 ownership. I found this video last spring while I was doing my homework as to what vehicle to buy upon my upcoming retirement. When it actually came to my retirement date in July 2019 I actually didn’t buy a Cayman 981,as I was scared off by its ownership costs. So I purchased a lesser vehicle new with the thought of practical long term ownership,unfortunately I just could not get the thought out of my head of owning a Porsche Cayman 981. I kept watching this and many video reviews like it and eventually in January of this year I actually bought one!,as I thought you only live once and this would be my last chance to fulfill one of my dreams. It’s not an S but I am besotted with it,I viewed many both manual and PDK and I found due to a leg injury I sustained a few years ago,the PDK gearbox was the obvious choice and I don’t regret it at all. It is a base Cayman in Rhodium silver with GTS rear lights and sits on 20” Carrera wheels and looks stunning. Sorry to ramble on but I will finish by saying,thank you for helping me to realise my dream of Porsche ownership. Stay safe and all the very best. Phil

The PDK really needs the sports steering wheel with the proper "flappy paddles". The normal buttons are awkward an not really intuitive, and the PDK-lever works opposite to what you'd expect (forward is gear up, backwards is gear down. All other car makes, incl modern Porsches work just the other way around). And as said below it actually does have a flat tyre kit in the front boot. But the rest of your video is spot on! I love my 981!

Honestly this video is impressively done, you've earned a sub. I'd suggest making the music much quieter when those wonderful car noises are playing. The enormous production value of the video shows in the wide variety of shots you've used. You've clearly gone to painstaking lengths to shoot so many angles. Noticed and appreciated, Roger! The sound work is pretty good aside from the music being overall a bit loud (esp. during car noises), and you could in time think about upgrading your equipment. You've worked very well with the tools in front of you. This video was made with the same attention to detail that the car represents! How fitting.

Have one too. A few points though. The front tire chatter has to do with geometry. Tire selection makes a difference as well... the OE pirelli rubber does it more than the PS4S rubber I have now. Ambient temps are the final factor. Gear selection is less of an issue if you press the pedal past the kick down detent. Agree about manual selection... very fun.

Nice Vid! I'm on my 3rd Cayman (a 2007 987 base, a 2014 981 base, and a newly acquired 2015 S with Chrono and only 8.000 miles!). I couldn't agree with you more about the desirability of these cars. From looks (especially the 981's) to performance, you can't find a bigger bang for the buck!

Great video. I'm a proud owner of a 981 S and I agree this is the best car in its class and for the money. By the way Porsche does include a tire inflation device in all Porsches. I saw it by the battery in your video.

You're such an awesome dude! And an excellent video...Liked and Subscribed! ☺️

Love it man! We have the 3.2 Boxster with standard exhaust and it sounds nothing as mean as this!!

This is the kind of vids I like, loud cars, aggro music and drone shots. Who would've thought the thing actually appreciated after owning it for months? -A

HI Roger.I just watched your report on the Cayman. Super job. I bought a 2010 Gen 2 which is not an S but the performance is very close and road tax a lot less. Same upholstery but manual. Notice you're local to me too recognised the landscape . Looking forward to the summer now although we miss the Boxster we parted with in December. Graham CH61

As an owner of a greatly specced 981 myself, I agree with you totally. One thing I’ll correct you on, and am surprised you didn’t say, the car comes with an air compressor and tyre gel in the event of a flat. Hope I never need it. Mine is now running on Michelin PS 4S and they have taken the car to a whole new level in handling. Keep up the good work.

Zero issues with the car, handling is superior to any other car I ever had and as you have correctly stated, the value has in fact gone up. Especially in my case, as it is a limited edition,, low mileage, and still in showroom condition. Just had it's first 'major service' where the spark plugs and filters were replaced. That cost less than a minor repair on my Chrysler PT Cruiser! (Needed the clutch cable replaced as the little retaining clip on the gearbox side had fallen off. Off course the dealer had no spare clips only complete cables). That cost $500!!!
