Hey everyone! Thank you so much for watching. The love and support we've gotten from you all over the years is just incredibly overwhelming and we can't thank you all enough for your continued support! This video was one of the most difficult to film as we tried to remain objective throughout and not appear biased and hopefully we nailed that balance. It's an incredible car and we'll be sure to update you guys at least once a month and let you know of any issues, good or bad! Enjoy the full review, we leave tomorrow for LA to drive and film the refreshed 2019 Honda Pilot!
Great review. I have a 2018 911 GT3 which I traded in for 981 Boxster GTS which I had for 4 years. For everyday driving, I would take the 718 GTS over the GT3 hands down. You're not missing out too much with Apple Car Play. Also never think that 718 is less of a Porsche because it's not a 911, it simply not true! If it has a Porsche badge it a true Porsche. Also the same deal with the flat 4 vs the flat 6. The 981 GTS has a better flat 6 note, but those 718 turbos kick you in the nuts each time, so it makes up for it. The boxer engines love to rev!! Enjoy your new toy, it will be the best car you will ever own. Congrats and enjoy your Porsche.
I picked up my new Cayman 718 GTS one month ago (May 7th 2019) and LOVE it... Just put over 5K miles on it with no problems in just under four weeks... This U Tube video help me decide on my purchase... Thanks for your Outstanding review!!! Keep up the hard work and your great reviews!!!... Note: I'm going for another 5K Porsche trip in three weeks!!! My car will not gather dust in the garage!!! I describe my 718 GTS as it's like driving a high performance motorcycle when it comes to acceleration and braking similar to my K1600 motorcycle, but its nice to stay comfy inside vice outside... The handling is off the charts, best car I've ever had... The new Cayman GT4 with the new 6 cylinder will definitely be on my radar around 2022, but I have no regrets with the Cayman GTS, NONE... I had one long single day drive putting 1300 miles on my Cayman and averaged 27mpg / 79 mph!!! I'm 6'1" tall, 220 lbs, but the leg room is perfect for my long legs, no aches or pains in my back after this long drive... Love, LOVE IT!!
When you are buying a premium brand car like Porsche, you have to accept that they are not building cars for the masses like Ford or Toyota. They are building cars for a clientele that want's to personalize nearly everything. The 'base' car is kind of like a blank canvas to express yourself on. They do go a bit overboard on the amount of options they offer. . .
Brian D. I understand that and love that you can customize this car completely to your liking, but it's just so damn expensive. They charge you hundreds to thousands for everything.
I own a 718 boxster in China and absolutely love it. Because I own this car, I've seen every 718 review on RUclips and hands down - this is the best review out there! I crack up every time you put the pedal down! Lol. Great job,
Just bought a low mileage (3K) 2018 base Cayman. Couldn't imagine the performance upgrade the GTS option affords. The 300 horse model is more than enough fun for the street. These are simply BRILLIANT cars. Great video too BTW.
The anti-hellcat, it puts the power down, which is so impressive. That engine note is great for what it is. Happy to live vicariously for a few minutes, congrats Sofyan.
Once you drive a Porsche, you will find that the continuous smiles & hysteric laughters comes as a standard with their cars. Best heavenly feeling on earth.
Never thought I would get popcorn, coffee and get cozy in couch just to watch a car review. It's amazing how good your review actually is. Keep up the good work!
LMFAO OMG I just love it when you test cars with shocking acceleration that makes you start cursing... 😂😂😂. My favorite reaction of yours was definitely the Acura NSX which made you cuss then get quiet for a few minutes. Priceless! You better not ever stop doing reviews lol... One of my favorite video journalists ever!
First off - this dude sounds EXACTLY like Josh Flagg from Million Dollar Listings! 😂 Secondly by far the best most informative video on RUclips about the 718 I’ve found after buying mine. Long enough to give all the useful information but not so long like others dribbling on and on, great job man! 🤙
One can notice as you speak kindly about this vehicle that you're a very proud Porsche owner, as you should be. Congrats on your car man, it's an amazing & manly toy.
Best review I've seen of the 718. Great job. I'm glad you didn't mind the engine sound, as everyone else makes such a big deal about it while it actually sounds just fine. I've driven one of these myself, and found the engine sound pleasant. You did a great job of showing all the details about this car, and is helping me make up my mind on what I'm going to get.
The face you make and things you say when you are more than satisfied with your purchase.... 26:16🤑🤯😎😎😎 congrats on your purchase. Best car review channel.
I love love love the 718 Cayman GTS, including the sound of the flat 4. I don't understand why every so called enthusiast has been bitching about it. People just want to complain about something even though they will never own one. I think it sounds awesome, especially when you're revving it up, and it definitely performs better than the previous model. I definitely plan to buy one of these in the next few years. Anyway, it's been almost a year, we need more 718 content!
The Cayman GTS is a phenomenal car. Ignore the fact it isn't a showstopper in terms of raw power; it has plenty to make it an absolute blast to drive. If anyone has driven a 2016 or earlier cayman with the NA engines, this car feels much different with the improved power band. I previously had a 2016 Cayman GTS which we put a lot of miles on cruising the coast, and a couple track days. I have not owned a 718 but did a track day in one and was blown away by how great it drove. Do not get sucked in by the allure of the "supercar 911's". I have a new 911 Turbo S now and I can honestly say I had more fun driving around town in the Cayman(much more playful), and on the back roads or track it's just more enjoyable spending a little more time in the gears focusing on technique. 911 is an amazing car, but Cayman owners are enjoying their cars just as much if not more. If all you care about is drag racing... then go get some enormous-go-straight-american-hotrod.
Sure, the 718 is sharper, but the engine note for me was a disappointment. Had the ecu of my 981 Cayman S remapped to 364hp, 420Nm, 0-100km/h 3.89sec. Believe me, it's now a beast. Pulls like the clappers from 3500rpm to redline, with the legendary Porsche wail. I laugh during and after every drive ... The best $1900 option Porsche never included! All on stock air filters, inlet and exhaust manifolds.
Absolutely awesome video. You can tell you're a real enthusiast. Seeing the joy you have driving it is just so much fun to watch. Your face on that first "launch control" was just so joyful. Thanks for sharing this video. So many people hate on the sound of the GTS but I have had an STI and Two WRX's so I'm used to the Boxer sound. I would love to have the 6cyl but was not going to pay over 100K. Great vid.
One day I’ll have this in my garage. Bought my first car about 5 months ago, ‘19 Miata RF. Absolutely love it, I can’t imagine having a Cayman GTS. I’d end up marrying it.
Porsche sports cars puts the power down so well. Thanks to its engine placement, you can floor the accelerator with confidence and not worry about wheel spin or loss of control. Once you get in one of these, you'll think front engine "sports car" are a joke. Front engine cars make the rear so light, its impossible to put 100% of the power down without wheel spin.
Great video. People always want time spent on the exterior of the car, especially if they're considering buying one. Everything is very informative. Keep up the great videos.
You young fellas are so funny. Launch control. Back in the day we mashed the gas, lifted the brake pedal and off you went. Sometimes sideways but it was fun.
Finally, a truly comprehensive review of a 718 GTS and all it's options for people shopping for this car. From the heated/cool seats to the hidden heated steering wheel button, there are numerous details that invaluable when you're looking at all the options Porsche offers. It's a noticeably different type of review when one purchase it as their own car vs. press fleet. Great job. And congratulations on the purchase. You've come a long ways from the Focus ST "I would own something like this" review.
they actually *FIXED* the orientation of the +/- shift in the manual gate -- pulling back SHOULD be an upshift and pushing forward a downshift. Porsche had this wrong for many years and fixed it on the 991.1 GT3 and now the correction has trickled down to the carrera/boxster/cayman range. It's how sequential gearbox shift levers are in race cars. When you're accelerating and being pushed back into your seat, it's more ergonomic to pull back on the lever rather than push forward. Nice review! W
Yeah it's okay. I mean, it's nowhere near as good as a 1.8l Toyota Corolla in terms of sporty performance and driving dynamics, but the Porsche is definitely second best... which is still a good position.
@@hunterwolfe6295most examples I saw while buying my 981 GTS (I had a 718S, I kinda went backwards rather than forwards). Were only around 120 Canadian.
Congrats on the new ride Sofyan! Love to see enthusiasts get to drive their dream cars. It's like watching magic unfold before your eyes. The car suits you very much. Enjoy it my friend!
I have the burmisester in my 17 GTS macan and love it. also have a 17 718S miami blue, chalk int, chron, yellow gauges and belts,loaded car...love that 2! good review!
Well you convinced me, I have been thinking of getting one of these for a while. After watching this I phoned the Porsche garage to make an appointment, going in a couple of days to order a GTS in Lava orange. I had an f-type but didn’t like it due to the bad build quality and cheap interior, great sound but that was about it.
Solid review. I know you decided to sell yours. I recently bought a 2018 with 20k miles on it. The PADM failed immediately after I drove it off the lot, but fortunately the dealer is repairing it. I'm really looking forward to living with the car and getting it on the track. It's my first Porsche.
This may be the most anticipated car review of my life....my favorite car and my favorite reviewer! I love how you addressed the sound of the flat 4. I think it sounds great. Also, as a lifelong driver of manuals, this is probably the only sports car I'd own with an auto. Excellent review!
I think the love affair with the 911 is more associated with history and heritage. I know that is one of the things I love about mine. Although, mid -engine design is king.(Corvette is coming with a mid-engine, cool!)
A great sports car indeed. Mine came with Alcantara as standard in the GTS. Had a 981 Boxster S with the flat six. My new Cayman GTS sounds different but I absolutely have no problem with the crackle and pop of this new flat four! Love it.
Liked and Subbed. This is a genuinely enjoyable review. Detailed in a way that most people would appreciate, particularly those who will probably never be able to buy one. Well done.
Dude That’s the best review I’ve seen of a cayman. I sold my ‘15 GTS and I regret it every day!! To me this is the best car out there, just an incredible car that can be a mild car to drive or a beast on the track. I do miss the flat 6 sound but the new engine is a beast!! Great job
I feel like half the things Sofyan always complains about are absent from his own vehicle, lol.....HID headlights, manual transmission, Apple car play, leather stiched interior, and many more. But looks like a real nice car. Enjoy!!
Have great respect for your reviewing skills, its not easy to do, I reviewed the 718 Cayman last week and agree with most of what you say, I wish I could get 40k views in 2 days !!
PDK is definitely the way to go on this model. It works so well. I can tell you it’s spooky how it reads your mind, especially on the downshifting, I know purists are gonna want a stick but honestly guys, do yourself a favour on this Porsche it definitely ENHANCES the experience and actually improves power and handling. There I said it, just waiting for all the trolls now🙈
Good for you getting your dream car, I’m sure you worked very hard for it, I do prefer the sound of the flat 6 myself, but that 4 definitely sounds better than a Subaru. I saw your review of the 2014 Fiesta ST and went out and bought one, it has 68,000+ miles on it and it’s still running strong, I’m on my 4th set of tires already that’s how much I love it, it puts the biggest smile on my face when I hit the Sport Mode button. Keep up the awesome reviews, your the best one out there. The Fiesta Flash. 🤙🏼
Very thorough review. Covers lots of details that other reviews do not. Had to chuckle at the sunroof comment, though. The Cayman does indeed come with a sunroof option: Porsche calls it "Boxster".
thank you that was the first review I actually got to hear the engine compared to my 987, it really reminds me of my old Honda from the 90's with intake/exhaust. Definietly an angry 4 cylinder, love the flat-6 sound but this isn't bad and reminds me of my youth.
Awesome choice Sofyan! That is also my dream car! For the money, a good balance of affordability, performance and livability in a sports car. It might not be a straight six but who cares. The speed and handling make you forget that anyways. Great review and keep up the great work! Your reviews IMO are the best on youtube! :)
I have the exact same car in Carrara White Metallic (my 4th Cayman - had a 987, a 987.2, and a 981 previously). Your review is spot-on and exactly how I would have reviewed it.
BTW, Porsche purists notwithstanding, this flat four sounds great. Has it's own sound and definitely better than an inline four. Not worse than, just different from my inline sixes or boxer six. Congratulations on your new "business" lease.
Congrats! She's a beaut! I think after you try the flat 6 you'll understand what people mean about the sound. Either way it's a stunning car. I wonder if anyone's tried engine swapping this with a flat 6 so it'll be like a GT4? That would be mega.
This review aged well. It’s a perfect review and to be honest, I’m looking for the four cylinder. I like the racing history of the Porsche four cylinder.
Good review. My Cayman S will be delivered in December. It's a long time to wait, but you get it optioned exactly the way you want it. I also went with the PDK - better use of the power, quicker shifts and 'cause traffic.

My only question is reliability?
You spend that much then get an auto. Wow you’ve turned into a dipshit.
You're so welcome. I love your new toy; looks very bold and beautiful. Congrats!
Would like to hear how this car compares to Miata I know it's 3x the cost but still
If it was my car I’d spend a lot of time driving it but I’d also spend a lot of time just staring at it. 😳
Excuse I don’t know how I can buy a car like this and not strain my Eye Staring
Too bad the odds are against you ever owning a beautiful machine like Sofyan’s. Have fun with your Corolla😅

To me this is the best car out there, just an incredible car that can be a mild car to drive or a beast on the track. I do miss the flat 6 sound but the new engine is a beast!!
Great job
I feel like half the things Sofyan always complains about are absent from his own vehicle, lol.....HID headlights, manual transmission, Apple car play, leather stiched interior, and many more. But looks like a real nice car. Enjoy!!
Have great respect for your reviewing skills, its not easy to do, I reviewed the 718 Cayman last week and agree with most of what you say, I wish I could get 40k views in 2 days !!
hey roger bailey nice channel man
cool
Bantom The hey thanks
Roger, you and redline are always reviews i watch
Eric Ocasio thats great to hear !
PDK is definitely the way to go on this model. It works so well. I can tell you it’s spooky how it reads your mind, especially on the downshifting, I know purists are gonna want a stick but honestly guys, do yourself a favour on this Porsche it definitely ENHANCES the experience and actually improves power and handling. There I said it, just waiting for all the trolls now🙈
Good for you getting your dream car, I’m sure you worked very hard for it, I do prefer the sound of the flat 6 myself, but that 4 definitely sounds better than a Subaru. I saw your review of the 2014 Fiesta ST and went out and bought one, it has 68,000+ miles on it and it’s still running strong, I’m on my 4th set of tires already that’s how much I love it, it puts the biggest smile on my face when I hit the Sport Mode button. Keep up the awesome reviews, your the best one out there. The Fiesta Flash. 🤙🏼
That 718 looks good
Very thorough review. Covers lots of details that other reviews do not. Had to chuckle at the sunroof comment, though. The Cayman does indeed come with a sunroof option: Porsche calls it "Boxster".
This evil laugh...your car makes you look like a villain too! Super cool.
thank you that was the first review I actually got to hear the engine compared to my 987, it really reminds me of my old Honda from the 90's with intake/exhaust. Definietly an angry 4 cylinder, love the flat-6 sound but this isn't bad and reminds me of my youth.
It really just need one drive and you get hooked! And they offer really good leasing options :)
Awesome choice Sofyan! That is also my dream car! For the money, a good balance of affordability, performance and livability in a sports car. It might not be a straight six but who cares. The speed and handling make you forget that anyways. Great review and keep up the great work! Your reviews IMO are the best on youtube! :)
So glad to see you’re enjoying your new car
981 for life...I will never sell my gts, that flatsix sound is incredible
yap. HALF of a sports car's value comes from it's sound. the 718 sounds like dogshit
Same here. Love my 981 S
I have the exact same car in Carrara White Metallic (my 4th Cayman - had a 987, a 987.2, and a 981 previously). Your review is spot-on and exactly how I would have reviewed it.
Breaking out the t-shirt! You know it's an important video.
Nice video! Please please take this to the track and let it shine.
BTW, Porsche purists notwithstanding, this flat four sounds great. Has it's own sound and definitely better than an inline four. Not worse than, just different from my inline sixes or boxer six. Congratulations on your new "business" lease.
Congrats! She's a beaut! I think after you try the flat 6 you'll understand what people mean about the sound. Either way it's a stunning car. I wonder if anyone's tried engine swapping this with a flat 6 so it'll be like a GT4? That would be mega.
This car is so beautiful 😍😍
so bloody fast - best handling sport car under 100k for sure.
This review aged well. It’s a perfect review and to be honest, I’m looking for the four cylinder. I like the racing history of the Porsche four cylinder.
That car looks like a blast! Congrats!
You always give the best review videos. Keep it up!!! From your loyal fan.
I love to see how happy you are! I had to have my own to!
Radical cup holder design! Looks nice, I can see how this influenced the design of the Mazda MX-5
Should’ve gotten the manual. That’s why they brought it back for the gt3. All the Porsche lover wants that manual.
Keep us updated on repairs and maintenance costs. Although since you bought it new, most of those costs are probably covered in the first few years.
xuimod absolutely! We won’t sugar coat anything. Hoping this car surprises us with not needing any warranty claimed repairs during our time with it!
This is basically my dream Porche.
A Dream what’s a Porche? Also, are you really that passionate about it, or do you just like to say the word dream frequently?
Sterling Roberts his name is A Dream
I've heard reservations about spending so much money for a car that has only four cyclinders, but the engine doesn't seem to lack power!
Great review, answered all the great questions
this is a dream car
That moment you realize one of your favorite car reviewers owns the same car as you 🎉 🍻
pound for pound, $ vs $ the cayman is a better buy than a 911.
His laugh explains all. Nuff said :)
The exact color combination I would get. Great taste and nice ride.
Good review. My Cayman S will be delivered in December. It's a long time to wait, but you get it optioned exactly the way you want it. I also went with the PDK - better use of the power, quicker shifts and 'cause traffic.
