    Great review. I always liked the idea of the boxster but was just too slow for me. I have been driving my 911 4s for the last 6 years and have loved it! When the new 718 came out it sealed the deal for me. I ended up with a 718 bs, performance runs rings around my older4s and its just so good everywhere in all mods and all conditions. Totally agree with you and look fwd to taking it out every chance l get. Keep up the good work.

  • @paulpak1
    @paulpak1 4 года назад +40

    Wow! Well done, Thomas. That was a brave verdict. Objectively speaking, I'd go with the 718 as well. I'd also recommend getting a 981 series car used. 90% of the technology but with the normally aspirated flat-6. Both are great generations of the same concept. The 911 is of course the most iconic, but at an incredibly high premium nowadays. Unfortunately, Porsche has decided to take the 911 into the Aston Martin direction in terms of prestige over accessibility to the "average" buyer.
    I think you summed it up best when you said that you'd take 2 of the boxsters instead of the one 911 based on price. Of course, as a Cayman 981 owner, my comments are a little biased. ; ) Keep up the great work!

      @@clu4u Wow! 981 Spyder! I missed out on a Speed Yellow 981 Spyder but have a 981 GTS. I'm sorry to say the 718 is not a patch on the 981. I had one as a courtesy car from my OPC and couldn't wait to bring it back. It sounded asthmatic and even worse the faster you go. I would have hated myself if I got one. The 981 GTS.... Awesome! Even the 911, the best ones are upto the 991 Gen 1, not after. Drove a 2022 911 on Saturday and was very underwhelmed, my pal who owned it could not believe the sound and the way my GTS drove. I had to pry my keys of the guy! 🙂

    • @nigel.w
      @nigel.w 2 года назад +2

      I agree that it was brave of Thomas. I also agree with the verdict, objectively speaking, even though I dislike the 2L 718 (I could live with the 2.5 if I had to). Best bang for the buck is certainly the 981 S. IMO, the premium for the 981 GTS is too much, but great car. However, for me, I think the 911 991.1 S/4S is the best bang for the buck 911, and is my personal preference. Still modern, yet classic, still relevant. 981 still modern and relevant, too, IMO. I do like the 992, but I agree that its price premium is hard to justify versus the 718, especially vs the 4L variants. Nonetheless, when compared with cars for the same money, the 992 range still represents good value for money.

I'm a 911 guy but have recently purchased an 981 Cayman for all of the same reasons you outlined in your comparison. The price to value component is clearly in favor of the Boxster/Cayman platform. In America, the 911 has become just too snobbish for my liking... Great job!

      @williamtrevor9210 6 месяцев назад

      The GTS gains the more instant low end punch, better for realistic daily driving country roads or towns; loses the better sound of the 4.0. I think Porsche designed the 2.5 litre not primarily for economy/emissions reasons, but for the utility of not having to get to higher revs for everyday driving conditions. Better driveability 99% of the time. And they both have near equal 4.0/4.5 - zero to 60 times auto/manual. As with the 911 vs Boxster, it's the status of the 4.0 vs. better driveability of the 2.5.

I would like to test the 992 as well (I will do this once the manual gearbox is out), but I must say the Boxster is a superb car. I don't think you get more fun in the 911 for that extra money...

    Last September I had a choice of a 718 Cayman S MY2018 or a 911 Carrera 4S MY2016. Same mileage, same price, both PDK. Both myself and my wife concluded the 718 was the car we wanted to drive, so we traded in my Mustang GT for the 718 CS. Makes me look forward just to drive to the supermarket!

    I did buy a boxster because I love convertible. I am extremley surprised by the ability of the car to stick to the road in the curves. My wife experienced the car as well and was so amazed by the fact that this 718 is "easy" to drive. Primarily she would have preferred the 911...because of the original Porsche look.

  • @tomagotchi1956

    Excellent review! Not often we see the 911 and 718 head to head. There is a (false) perception I think sometimes that 911 buyers don't cross-shop with the 718. On a side note, I find it incredible that it takes that long for the infotainment screen to warm up. Any Ford or Honda would be instant on. And "weak battery" from just using the PCM? Are you kidding? Hopefully Porsche will iron these bugs out soon. No way is that acceptable in a 150K car.

    I have to say that I own a '17 Cayman S and I'm very pleased with your comments and conclusions. The 911 is a fabulous Porsche but has evolved into a semi sports car, gaining bulk and is now more of a boulevard cruiser. To me, the Boxster/Cayman series are truer to the Porsche history of light efficient sports cars. One final thought for you 911 people, why has Porsche now gone to mid-engine for the new 911 RSR's that will make their racing debut in January 2020?

I'm driving a 2018 718 Boxster and deciding whether to get another 718 when the lease is up or upgrade to the 911, so many of the questions you addressed were how I wanted to compare the two. Perhaps including a few track laps would make the review complete...?

    Good presentation Thomas. Enjoy your humour. At the rear the 4S has a very thick rump compared to the T. Appeared the T was quite jiggly on the road, where as 4S was not so. Prefer the look of the 4S. Seems fresher. But double the price? I am with you. The T gets my vote as good as the 4S is. Thanks.

    Je ne comprends pas comment justifier le fait de mettre le double de mon argent dans une 911 qui a si peu d’arguments par rapport au 718.

Both cars are great but I've noticed Boxster drivers often have a big smile on their faces where 911 drivers seem a little more stern/serious. Hmmm? I wonder who is having more fun?
