Welcome to Life In Motion!
My name's Jack and this is my channel!
I have wanted to get more involved in the car world for ages and so I created Life In Motion to make that happen. I cannot wait to share more content with you all and hopefully grow this channel to what I hope can be one of the best out there.
I will be vlogging, reviewing, driving and hopefully interacting with others to make really enjoyable content for you all.
For now, sit back, relax and enjoy everything I can offer!

I love my club man 17
Love it 🙌🏻
It's an Automatic/Manual. That's what A/M means. Manual paddle shift.
Why not compate the car at similar prices? Comoare the porshe with the TTRS.
If I had access to a TT-RS, I would have likely done just that. On the flip side, if you’re buying a brand new TT black edition with a specification similar to the TT in this video, you could easily get into a 718 Cayman…perhaps food for thought to many
S tronic is a duel clutch has been since vw used the dsg because it's vw group, that is why its a quick box
Intro song please? Subscribed.
I'm still gonna get it. I want an Abarth 500, and I love driving automatic. I can drive manual, I do now, but I have driven my mom's automatic and it's so comfortable for daily regular driving
And I think it's honestly pretty fun that the car changes gears so late. It's supposed to be fun, not perfect.
I like the Clubman. I wanted one but the good lady wanted the countryman. We compromised on a 2.0 countryman Cooper S with cooper works extras. And I think it’s better from a practicality point of view. And it’s still an excellent drive.
I do see a fair few countryman’s around - pleased you’re enjoying it
Is it current though 😂
You should review this for what it is… a manual box with automated clutch. This is a very reasonably priced car, adapting another gearbox for the 500 would not have made sense… At least there is an auto option for those who cant drive manually for whatever reason.
My 2002 Alfa 156 has the same semi auto type gearbox with paddles and I find it much easier to drive than any old type manual. I have with 60 years of experience found it gives you the best of both worlds.
Sounds Awful SMFH 🤦🏽
Service at a dealer the rest at an independent. Warranty is not affected as long as they are genuine Porsche parts.
You’re not selling to me.
I assume you bought the car brand new? That's kind of crazy if you did. You would think you really wouldn't have to pay too much in the first year or two of buying a brand new car.
I did not buy the car new. It was 2 years old which is likely why I had more issues in my ownership. I’ve no doubt if I’d gone new, it would have been far less
Matt from CarWow did 0-100 km/h in 6 seconds flat!
So what is the MPG on full petrol?
Wasn’t ideal - I was seeing early to mid 20’s on petrol only
Seriously thinking of buying one of these, there's one a few years old near me for sale, and I'm absolutely terrified of people thinking I'm gay if I buy a mini. Terrible I know, but I can't decide
Do it. It’s a great car.
@@LifeInMotionuk It's got a nice red paint job with black stripes and black leather
Great review, thanks! This is literally the model im thinking about getting next any concerns about reliability? Constant comments in every car mag " reliability remains a worry" Doesn't do much for the confidence if you're lashing out so much cash ! Any thoughts? Dom
Automatic on this car 🤮 no involvement also much less reliable than the manual
Not looking to sell the 718 are you :)
Ah it’s already sold 😉
In Australia, most of these issues wouldn’t occur due to the better weather, but there’s zero chance anyone would accept the exhaust clamp/fixings issue. As most people have suggested, most things can be done yourself to avoid these unnecessary costs and it appears that an independent Porsche specialist will maintain your car to the same standard, likely better, for far less.
Great video ✌️
great video - love the style and clarity of the content. well played. love that colour too - looks mint.
On first listen this sounds horrendous. But then when you watch it, what do you expect? If the disks and pads need replacing, they need replacing. They are wear and tear items. The washer needs fixing. Clearing the leaves, you can do yourself. And your exhaust is falling off. OK £1,200 for exhaust clamps is a right rip off, fair enough. But £2.5k+ of your £3.8k bill is fully to be expected.
@life in motion: does your Cayman have the Porsche Sports Exhaust? Mine is a 2024 and it was not more available due to EU regulations and I cant somehow get the cracks and pops...dont know if it is the issue with not having a PSE with the valves opening. SORRY! didnt read your preambule - ok so maybe I am doing smth wrong haha
It didn’t have sports exhaust no, but doesn’t have a particulate filter
Lousy music...unnecessary.
Did he actually 💦 🍆 in his pants?
You got ripped off by the dealer. That much to replace brakes 😂😂
great video, I'd only suggest more engine note and less music
Thanks, and noted!
Pushing a boulder up a hill by trying to convince people the clubman is a more suitable family car than a Qashqai...it just isn't.
Long story short until 7:40 mark.
Cayman used 40k .. Audi 15k
You may have a point…
@@LifeInMotionuk and 718 2.0l ...50 to 60k here
@commantrosexetlos4700 I did a comparison of a TTS versus a base 2.0 l Cayman and you can find similar prices, but the Cayman would be either high mileage or older. I guess the benefit of the Cayman is they hold value better, and have now been announced as discontinued so potentially are a good place to put your money (the same could be said for the TT that is in the same situation)
@@LifeInMotionuk yeah they hold their price very good but i feel retarded to buy used a 2.0l 300hp for 60k..ttrs is under 40k..c63amg too is cheaper..f10 m5 and m6 are cheaper..f type 550hp is a bit cheaper..new supra with b58 engine is cheaper..so why to buy that 718? M3 and m4 s55 are 30 to 40k..new 340i g20 is 40k..718 is wayyyy overpriced
@commantrosexetlos4700 I’d say if you want a sports car, and you need badge appeal then the Cayman does well. More people are looking at a Cayman than an M4. F Type is a good shout although arguably no where near as good to drive. Depends on what’s important.
Did use a TTS or TTRS! Not even a fair comparison!
Amazing car buying 1 soon ticks all the boxes kids will enjoy as my 335d is tight in the back
Absolutely! Well worth the buy- brilliant car
perfect spec! Miami blue looks so good
Best Porsche colour in my opinion
I am a bit late to help, but a lot of these can be self-repair. get a quickjack and a basic tool set and become self sufficient. It is a really easy to work on these cars.
Would you have considered taking the list to a trusted independent Porsche specialist with Orem parts ? Build a relationship with them
I would! I had a chap reach out who had worked for a main dealer before branching out on his own. Potentially better service, and definitely better pricing
Ahhhh!
Your an idiot learn how to change gears with paddles and sports mode instead of making excuses for your lack of knowledge and laziness just running in auto gear change mode of course it does not change quickly in auto mode its trying to maximize fuel economy
The TT is brilliant .fair enough the rear seats are not great . But tne Porsche hasnt got any . The porsche has two shoe boxes for you to put your golf clubs onto. If you can . Ive owned a TT for years ive thought about the Porsche from time to time but instantly dumped that idea.
Okay I got my Audi TT 45 TFSI Quattro (5.1 sec 0-60) this week, to go with my 718 Boxster (4.9 sec 0-60) both automatic, both from 2019. My thoughts are the 718 wins in every way, you accelerate in the Porsche you have a big grin on your face for the next half minute, with the TT its just 'oh Im going fast'. Porsche is nicer inside just wins. However, I really like how the TT feels its a lovely solid car, I like being able to see the engine in the audi, also I cant take the Porsche 'to the shops' in many areas where i live but the Audi would be fine., its a better daily driver. The answer does seem to be own both!
Thanks for the comment. Exactly what we needed, someone that owns them both. It’s clear the 718 is more of what we all want from a sports car, but how important is practicality to you…
Sounds like a flat-4, not a bad rumble. I think you have to accept the sound of the engine in your car. Not much point driving a boxter engine and preferring it to sound like a V8 and definitely not an EV. My ride is a bi-turbo diesel and I prefer it quiet and subtle. I would switch off any piped-in exhaust sounds.
value for money wise, TT all day.
I have always loved the Cayman But any car that can't even handle a set of golf clubs is out for me. I bought a TTS and I love it for fun and practicality.
Great video again. Excited to be picking mine up soon. Mine is lowered by the standard 10mm, wish I could do the 20mm as yours looks so good, but too many speed bumps where I live. Thankfully mine has been serviced by the dealership ahead of collection and virtually new tyres, so hoping to avoid those lofty early expenses you incurred.
Superb, very exciting! Enjoy. Although mine was the 20mm lower, it probably still could do with slight more so I wouldn’t worry. I’m sure it will look great. Send me a picture on Instagram when you get it - @limuk18
Wait until the ERAD goes
I love the sport plus seat but hate the “high tech” cup holder!
Agreed, not so high tech is it
are the PZERO quiter for road noise than the PS4S ?
I thought the PS4S’s were quieter, and more comfortable. However, the Cayman is loud with wind and road noise so it’s hard to tell a huge difference
P Zero are awesome have them on my 718 they are N rated nothing wrong with them 😊
Looks = Porsche - Performance = Audi But would have the porsche in the garage next to my Black TTRS M6T if I win lottery!
Wish I‘d seen this video before I started a 2 year lease on my Rivale 695. Fun but crap gearbox, exactly as you said.
