With how current motor journalism mostly measures a car’s performance in terms of straight-line acceleration, this review accentuates the sheer importance of suspension, brakes, tyres, and so many other factors of a car’s holistic performance. I am extremely glad that Porsche hasn’t given up striving to not only increase numbers but also refine what’s beyond those numbers. These reviews are always a breath of fresh air.

You did a great job reviewing this GTS in different situations: in spirited drive, in normal mode as a daily driver, start-stop system... etc. All the other reviews only stated how the long gear ratio puts the car as a bad daily driver, you will be speeding in 3rd gear. However they were driving in Sport or Sport plus mode. As you have demonstrated, in Normal mode, it was in 7th gear at about 55mph. Your review single handedly relief my concern about the long gear ration issues. And you are the only one that showed the manual seat adjustment. Thank you very much.

I’m currently in the market for the same car. As yet, this is the only Miami Blue I’ve seen in a GTS, so I like the rarity of it. Plus, in the sun it puts a smile on your face. Think that GTS pack with the white stitching looks perfect. Yes the interior is a bit dated, but it’s a small price to pay, and I kinda like it. I’m sure the next electric cayman will have all the new electronics, but I like that this is a drivers focussed car, is sold on the car itself.

I drive a 2015 cayman 981 gts 6 flat NA , is there any difference between the two?

Great video 🤓!!! Last February 2023, I acquired my new 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 which has the 4L NA flat six cylinder engine (same unit as a GT4) and a PDK gearbox. Power output (394 bhp) and torque (317 lb-ft) are a nice match to this car's sensible curb weight (~3200 lbs). The color is Gentian Blue metallic with a black/chalk all-leather interior and silver wheel rims. It's definitely an entertaining driver's car! So far, I've only done 452 miles but hopefully a lot more this coming Summer! The PDK is also a lot of fun (it's definitely quick) 🤓 All the best and thanks again from Colorado!

Hey miles, I am planning to get a mid engine sports car in this price point and was wondering which of the two cars to pick, c8 corvette or 718 gts?

@MilesPerHr

2 жыл бұрын

Two very good cars - completely different driving experiences. The 718 GTS with the manual is an enthusiast's dream: connected, sonorous, and balanced. The C8 is comfortable, exceedingly quick, and (depending on the dealer), priced well. If it's my daily driver, I'd choose the C8. Otherwise, I'm all for the 718 GTS

When he said "what a car" is when I knew it was for me

the cayman gts is definitely my dream car but for some reason i prefer the look of the 981 generation so i would go for a 981 gts

Buttons are much better than any screen with swiping and scroll options. It is the dumbest thing to do for a sports car.

11:45 The decision to place the ignition key on the left was drvien by copper wire shortages that Porsche had at that time. The copper wires were simply shorter for the left side...

Awesome paddle shifter transmission and naturally aspirated engine, one of the coolest cars since the Ferrari 458. We need more like this. I just wish this was AWD.

Where is this drive? Looks like SoCal. I’d like to take since runs in there.

You said there’s “zero delay because there’s no turbochargers to deal with”, but you had the rpm’s up to 5,000 to 6,000 rpms at the time. How much delay is there in the Caymans with the turbo engines when they are being driven around 5,000 to 6,000 rpms?

Manual please ❤ Great review!!!

I own a 981 Cayman GTS. Love it to bits. Was going to keep it for a long time as a fabulous drive, but also depreciation would be possible minus as the fall 6 had disappeared. Now I how a conundrum.

Miles my man, I know this comment is roughly two years out from the initial post date. However, have you considered posting a newer video highlighting the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 *with a _manual transmission?_ Having thoroughly scoured YT for (US based) Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 videos, I have come to the conclusion that there are far too little that portray this model with the six-speed manual. A gearbox that many of the reviewers say they would prefer over the PDK. Yet for some odd reason, Porsche tends to loan you [the reviewers] a press car with a plethora of unnecessary options while omitting the more commonly preferred transmission. Only to be followed with some comment along the lines of... _"..though admittedly I would rather have the six speed manual..."_ to quote you in this instance. Nevertheless, I always enjoy it when you review high performance cars regardless of the make and model. Your continued dedication to the channel is greatly appreciated brother. Stay classy my friend. *EDITED for grammar.

@@Topofthelinetommy You can't compare a low number manufacturer with VW or Toyota, with their high volume production. It's just not possible to have similar costs per parts, compared to say a golf. Porsche offers more, as just driving experience. I could name high reliability for a sports car and overall build quality. You know what it costs for Porsche to offer a different seat belt color? 38.000 €, because every color use slightly different chemicals which have to be crash tested separately. Could they sell their cars cheaper? Sure, they can, they make around 15k per car, but their success isn't guaranteed, so people are willing to pay more to be able to still buy a Porsche in the future. Also, it allows them to offer a wide variety of models no other manufacturer is able to produce. No one cares, if Ford stops building Fiestas, but allot would mourn, if Porsche makes no Sports cars anymore.

Probably the best looking car on sale right now.
