You lost me when you said automatic transmission. It's technically an automated-manual gearbox. Good grief man!

The "no points on your license" is certainly worth Off the Record's fee. You should be happy. Not ecstatic, but happy. You won.

As long as they handle my points and insurance rates… I’ll pay the fine

Have the same issue with lights on both my Cayenne and Boxster and tbh I just don’t really care 🤷🏻‍♂️ In regards to the other points you’ve mentioned I think that it’s mostly the case that you’ve been looking at ownership of this car through the rose tinted glasses - most of those things could be really easily checked before ordering the car, so that you’d know for what are you signing up for. If you didn’t check it properly, then it’s nobody else’s fault but yours 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well to be honest if you just paid it you would have paid $460 and got the point on your record and the point on your record is the worst part of it. So I mean you got to pay them some money because they did go to court for you and they got the point off your record which is the most important thing. And when you think about it they take $100 off your fine. That's actually not bad. I've been thinking about using this app myself. I might try it out I'm not sure yet. But I'm more concerned with the point on the record. They got the point off your record and normally they said that you're not eligible for school to get the point off your record That's pretty cool

I have a Shark Blue 911 and my son has a Neptune Blue 2.0 GR86. I agree with your assessment. I feel like the Neptune is a little paler, the shark blue is a little deeper/more color saturation, but they are very close. I have them parked next to each other currently in the garage and was comparing the colors yesterday before you dropped your video. 😂 I also think the shark blue changes it’s look more in different light/darkness more than the Neptune. Such as, direct sunlight vs. shade.

Thx for the comparison. Was always curious to see how the two colours compared. Sadly Toyota discontinued the blue. Wanted to order one in Neptune blue or Blaze blue as the call it in Australia with the performance pack but a few dealers came back to say it is no longer being offered despite still being advertised. A little bummed as I’m not sold on the other colours.

bad dealership

Hey Pmok, I recently obtained the same Tein SRCs as you, including the 10k F and 12k R spring rates. I too am having difficulties dialing in the damping settings to favor a comfortable, dailyable ride. Do you happen to recall some settings you experimented with which resulted in a comfortable ride? And just to be sure, rebound damping adjustment is at the top while compression damping adjustment is at the bottom? I don't have the users manual nor can I find it online. Thanks in advance!

Your ticket is literally “off the record”. This is 100% a win regardless of cost. It’s not called “you won’t have to pay your ticket”.

I have the 981 GTS and none of these things are an issue for me. Have had the tail lights fog up once in 4 years and it cleared overnight and has not happened again since. Seats are fine for my size, in fact the most comfortable that I have ever had in any car over the past 50 years. My A/C keeps the settings - so maybe this is a setting that you can change in the menu system.

read the manual or get a miata

It was a win based on my books. If you have fought the ticket alone you would not have gotten traffic school after the officer appeared. If your speed was less and you were entitled for traffic school and you could not get a refund from OTR then I agree that’s a bummer. If you are eligible for traffic school fight the case yourself. If not eligible for traffic school, an attorney is beneficial. Don’t feel bad you got your moneys worth with OTR.

Good video it’s great to see features of the expensive models. I have a 981 and find some quirky features I actually enjoy like cup holders and door sill umbrella holder. I know what your getting at regards to shutting bonnet it’s aluminium I think and light weight being a 991 part. I close it gently and push on badge. I wasn’t aware of the hatch also being delicate though

I have a 987.1 S in manual. The only complaint I can relate too is the over engineered and digital oil dip stick. Though it only occurred on my last oil change. I don’t have moister in lights, reverse shift linkage or other modern features. Overall, it’s been very reliable for me even though it’s 18 years old. It was a different time back then in Stutsguard.

Hold your hand below the emblem to unlock, don’t wave it around.

What duck bill is on that black mr2?

Most of these don't bother me. The one you missed is the windows won't roll down after 2 presses and hold of the key fab unlock button. That one is irritating as it's so common on cars that are 10-15+ years old. The oil reading is bad, agree there. Mine rarely works. Luckily I have only had taillight issues when washing occasionally, agree it's odd to not be sealed. Row the gears and all those nuance things will go away.

2:40 I went with the power sport seats and not the sport plus type in your car because the lower bolsters are less prominent and I’ve heard it makes them a bit easier to get in and out of the car, and without excess wear the left bolster on the drivers side over time. I suspect the larger bolsters also make for less seat width (?)

Porsche is crazy about the options. Nowadays almost every car has led lights standard but porsche says no they will charge you for that. And a lot things could be standard like key less entry, lane keep assist and adoptive cruise control, floor mats, and when buy gts 4 it doesn't even come with gts interior as standard you have to pay for it. This is crazy

Porsche entry and drive opening of the trunk and frunk on my 2023 Cayman S has worked fine and reliably, bit it took some practice to know where to put your hand. you have to place it in the middle of the front bumper directly in front of the Porsche crest on the hood and actually lightly touch the surface while you have the keys on you. For the rear trunk, again in the middle and not on the spoiler, but on the deck below that area where the model designation is. You have to actually lightly touch the car. Waving hand over the surface won’t activate the opener. Hope this helps

Beatiful car. Love that 4.0 flat 6. What are you guys using for comms?

i have the same issue with my hyundai genesis foggy headlights. At least my dealer changed it during warranty. But the problem came back after warranty.

I just found my remote and it's all good

If the ticket is “Off Your Record” then it was a success lol

you should never plead guilty.

The spacer is not "hub centric", other brands have this?

Get to the point quicker, repeated yourself 10 times before first point on car seats.

Did you manage to keep it below 4k the entire 2000 miles or open it up a bit along the way? I’m taking delivery on Thursday. It’s going to be painful staying below 4k for that long! Is the power just completely different at the top of the rev range? I didn’t realize Motul makes an oil that’s allowed in these cars. I had read some forum posts about only using the Mobil 1 C40 oil to avoid warranty issues. Is that not the case? I always used Motul XCESS in my 996 turbo and love the company so would prefer to find a Motul oil for my CGTS!

I thought your complaints were a little too picky! However, I learned some things from the comments, so I appreciate your post. I will pick up my 2024 Boxter GTS 4.0 next week. It will fit nicely next to the 981 Boxter S that I plan to also keep! The 981 has had some annoying little issues, but overall, it is still a magnificent beast! Thanks for the post!

Ok, I myself are not concerned with your 10 gripes except 1-the taillight moisture. From 77-02 I worked on 50 million dollar carrier based fighter aircraft. They broke in some way almost every flight. Flight control Hydraulics, Comms, Electronics, Engines etc. My point is cost does not guarantee quality. I have driven in my positions Rolls Royce Phantom, Ferrari 550 and an ENZO, Porsche 996 Turbo, BMW 3,6&7s. Myriad other cars & many trucks. None were without flaws. I am searching for a used 981 as a weekend tourer. Your views I take into consideration. However it is a machine and the sum of its parts are rarely perfect. I say enjoy what you have. Like the guys with big smiles I see driving older fairly worn out 97-04 Boxters, Mercedes SLs, 80’s Corvettes, 5.0 Mustangs & old Miata’s. If I had 100K then a 0:15 smartly used 911 would be in my garage. Until then I will take my measly 50K & find a lower mileage 981 & enjoy the heck out of it. I will accept its features & issues before the purchase. Thanks for your video view point. 🇺🇸

cyclists are legally allowed to take the whole lane if there isn't a bike lane

why go to Burlingame for an oil change if. u live in the East Bay? Elite is great though. they have worked on my Alfa

i have done Mt Ham on my bike many times. it's an epic ride. just turned 2k on my 4.0 as well. took 8 months bit it's off to the races now.

Why did the turkey cross the road?

Isn't your one year freebie oil change coming up too?

I enjoy your videos. You’re not pretentious and you have a lot of humility. 👍🏻

You won. With no points you’re saving a lot of money on insurance surcharges.

Congrats on the break in. Now the car finally becomes fun.

Wish they had a sunroof option on the Cayman (like I had on my old 928)...

I have the Boxster GTS 4.0 with PDK. I found the manual gearchange on this model to be one of the least enjoyable experiences ever in a Porsche. I could only compare it to that on my 2003 911 C4S and this one was just so disappointing.

Horrible review by a guy that doesn't know anything about the car. I have no problems with mine. The secret? Push the button.

my seats are sport plus..perfect fit, paint, great,oil messurment, no problem like a lot of new cars..wont give you a reason unless its ready..windows. really, lol,,cup hoilders no problem, turn drinking lip around, keyless great for theft, press the button and dont be lazy, reverse gear,,requires a amount of pressre to use, keep using and you will fit in your seat, botts and trunk, you wont damage, buty sports cars are made lighter, just send it back, your not worthy of a spots car.

I’m with you… I have a 2024 718 Boxster Style Edition and I also have some issues Mine was built in the VW plant Osnabrück and the finish quality is not top notch for a PORSCHE… I do have condensations on the tail lights, also the paint was afoul and I did do the unwrapping of my car, so the problem was from factory. Also, I’ve had done a lot of reading and the paint issues in PORSCHE are very common as the paint is extra soft… I have the manual sports seat (2 ways) and mine is losing the hight, so often that sometimes in one drive I must regulate the seat (this is the most annoying issue I have), interior trim with some minor defects in the leather… and yes the reverse is somehow hard to shift, but for me the second worst thing is the lack of feel from the clutch pedal, so that, I still sometimes stall the car (after 10K Kms) and I’m in my 50s and always drove manuals cars… For plus 100K, I do agree the quality should be much better... but there is a greater feeling and that is when I slam the accelerator and the car “fly’s” whit so much composure and completely stuck to the road!... All cars have their oddities, there are no perfect cars!

My 987 interior quality is embarrassing. A couple notes for you and everyone else: When closing the frunk I would avoid pressing on the emblem. As others have noted, the hood is aluminum and will bend if there is too much pressure. You did it perfect, fingers spread out basically over the latch. On 987s I've been told that letting the rear hatch fall closed with the windows closed can pop the rear window out. The oil gauge is universally hated. If you do your own oil changes I suggest putting up to a quart of oil less than the capacity. Check the oil level and adjust. I always run about a half quart low (one notch on my car) because if you overfill it there's a chance at high rpm you will pull oil into the air intake. Expensive and difficult to clean up (from personal experience). And there's no excuse for the cup holder. Just plain stupid. If you'd like to expand your club and Porsche experience I suggest you check out the Porsche Club of America. Lots of great people, knowledge, and a variety of events. And given you've made, IMHO, an excellent choice of car/engine/transmission, if you haven't already I would highly suggest trying out at least one day of High Performance Drivers Education (DE or track day for short). You get to learn and experience what your car was built for with skilled instructors in a safe and fun environment. I can guarantee you will never look at your car in the same way!! Feel free if you, or anyone else, is interested in DE to reach out to me for more information. If you enjoy your car on the twistys imagine taking it around Laguna Seca or Sonoma at speed. You don't necessarily need a Porsche, and you can be a guest of a member too.

Oh man that’s sucks the headlights and taillights thing,to me is a big deal like you said you paid big money for this and has a cheap looking??Looking to buy a Cayman drove few,at 44 is going to be my first European brand and it’s been hard to leave the Japanese brand for this one.

I have a 2019 Cayman and the condensation issue is annoying. My car is garaged, so the issue is less maddening. Still, there should be a better and permanent solution. The electric dipstick is also annoying. I've owned my call for over 4 years and slam the rear trunk lid without issue. I rarely use the frunk, but it is soooo light, I gently close it with the palm of my hand. Otherwise, I'm satisfied, and there is no perfect car.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from the Republic of Panama

Regards closing frunk & trunk; the difference between normal car panels & lightweight panels. You won't want a thoroughbred racehorse to pull a plough. It can do but a draught horse is better suited to plough.

The Shark Blue "GT4RS" that was in front is my friend's car. Its actually a GT4 with a RS body kit on it but he's modded it to where it has similar performance to an RS.
