Boxster is a cabriolet. You should compare it to a 911 cabriolet. I have a 981s and tested a 991 cabriolet before choosing the Boxster.

I’ve said this before, it is nigh on impossible to “get” 911’s from a short test drive. With the Boxster or Cayman the car will feel right from the get go; they’ll give you bags of confidence and you’ll be able to chuck the thing around. You can’t with 911’s - you have to figure out the dynamics; the slow in fast out mantra. I’ve got a 997 and love it.

I’ve got a Boxster 981 and my son has the cayman 987. I would say definitely the 911 is the better car, but the question you need to ask is what’s the best car for you personally. And in my case it’s the Boxster 981, for agility and the way it looks after you in the corners and finally value for money.

Thanks for having me mate! Hopefully next time we meet up the weather will be on our side 🤣🤙🏼

Before you buy the 911, if you want you can to take my 981S Cayman out Will at the next Cotswolds Tribal….

I own a few Boxsters. I would buy a Cayman over a 911 if I needed a hard top. The rear seat of the 911 isn't important to me. I prefer smaller cars.

Was a cracking day! Great to meet you mate, give you a follow and Sub ✌️ (Black BBS 997 ✌️🏁)

Apologies Will, only just seen this ! Brilliant. ❤

Just a heads up with the Trombone cleaner...be very careful on using it at the front ,on the drain holes under the bonnet,especially the passenger side. I used it on my 1999 Boxster and it pushed the drain fitting out of its housing . Its an absolute nightmare to get it back in position.

Add an air pump that plugs into the cig lighter or the TPS will drive you crazy. I also added a battery disconnect switch only to be used when on trickle charger as my garage queen 997 has a parasitic drain (just don’t shut the hood all the way when in use or you’ll have to use the aux battery or hidden cable pull to open the boot). Lastly run an extra emergency pull cable into the front wheel well so you can more easily pull the boot latch open worst case (I ran one for the front and back lids having been stuck with a dead battery and no means to pop the boot latch). Yes the 997 has a front cable pull cable hidden but it’s harder to get to without tools to remove the wheel well covers so I ran cheater cables.

Thank you for the video😊

Great to see you out enjoying your car, mate. Haven't had mine out much lately, looking forward to our club Christmas run and lunch next month.

Nice to see the 914, don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the flesh

Thanks for awesome video! 😊

Are you putting the car on winter tyres?

Great video, love the genuine enthusiasm.

I just got my 987 back in September, and before I got the one I did, I was looking at Martins who listed his for sale at the same time! (And I was seriously considering his!)

The only tool I ever needed was my cell phone so I could call the local dealership for a service appointment.

Every time you put out a vid, I have to jump in mine. Cheers Will

I have zero confidence in someone giving me Porsche advice who can't properly pronounce the word. It's 2 syllables, dude.

Thanks for the video! Will be very helpful when it comes time for an upgrade.

I'd also recommend that you keep a spare remote key battery (CR-2032), T-30 screwdriver (for engine cover access), tire pressure gauge, and touch-up paint pen accessible in the glove box.

Brilliant. Thank you 👍

Someone sitting on my 987 would be one of my worst nightmares!! 🤣

Awesome video good vibes 👌 really good watch

Yes one can ! 35k km in 2 years... meant to be driven

It’s a great shame that you had to spend so much money after the initial 12k purchase in my estimation that car has in excess of 20k ? meaning you are now over invested Fair play to you for still being positive and enjoying your driving experience as I do with my own similar situation 987 Boxster

Nice vid Will. I've enjoyed watching your story unfold over the last two years. I've mentioned before I picked up my 06 S around the same time. Now you have the Porsche you always wanted and it shouldn't give you too much grief for many years. Touch wood, mine is still fault free and purring like a kitten!

Feeble. 1. Porsche has two syllables 2. 5000 miles is NOT a daily driver, it is a Garage Queen 3. The wheels and sound system your you most important considerations?

987 s are great cars. Just hit that age where lots of bits start to hit the fan. But, work through them & fix, then there's a great car to enjoy for not high cost & no real depreciation.

Great car. My hairdresser loves hers!

Don't forget to have the engine rebuilt as it'll probably be fucked due to the huge design faults - bore score etc. How the fuck did they get away with that. That being said, I'm still planning on buying one as I'm as big a sucker as all the other people who've been captivated by the more affordable flat Porsche.

I recently bought a 2.7 987 for £2k it had sat for a couple of years. Got it up and running, MOT and a service and its brilliant. Ive always seen the Boxster as a bit of a girls car, and never looked at one and thought "I'd love to own one" but im honestly really impressed with it. I bought it to sell, the paint is in a terrible state sadly. But realistically I enjoy driving it and will probably just run it as is until it becomes uneconomical to keep.

Have you lost your sponge, Will? 😂

I'm biased Will, but the 987 platform is excellent. I'm really happy with the changes I'm slowly making to mine - you need to give it a go now I've got the 997 GT3 Master Cylinder - it transforms the brake feel.

If you like Porsche so much why not pronounce it the original German way?

I found esco jack stands to be more stable than "regular" ones....also the boost battery didnt open the boot for me while another car battery did...i think higher costant current is important

Really enjoying your videos - thank you! I've just bought a 987.2 2.9 and i absolutely love it. I also test drove a 987.1 S which was less money and lower mileage, but was worried about major big bills. I agree with some of the other comments about the purity of this car and tge driving experience which i find hard to beat. Maybe im just in the honeymoon period but mines a keeper!

Only way to drive them is topless 👌

RHD or LHD -> same pleasure !!

6000rpm before you're up to temp is madness. i crawl around barley touching the throttle till my cayman is up to temp lol

Awesome mate, only a Porsche will do for these moments

That is why i have a 987....

Lovely noise....

Great job - I thought I hadn’t seen you for ages ! Look forward to catching up again soon 👍

16,000km (about 10,000 miles) in two years. Not my daily, but I get out in it a lot :).

2and half years for my 987.1 bought with 107,000 on clock will hit 126k this week used every day

As always great content Will, see you at the next meeting. Oh milage 9450 in a year, not quite Martin's 😅

Hi will, I’ve had my 987.1 for three months and I share my mileage with my focus ST !! But that’s going to be sold so that I can daily the Porsche Don’t get me wrong, love the ST but the 987 is a fantastic car ! Have to meet up at the talbot for a beer sometime !!!!

What's Porsh? I didn't know there was a car company called that.
