The 987.2 base does not have DFI.
After a quick search over the internet, it appears you are correct. Thanks for this clarification, it appears the bigger engines in the 987.2s were DFI, and the smaller ones remained with the older injection systems
20k pounds (23k EUR) for a 987.2 in The Netherlands is impossible to find. Good ones start at 35k EUR. :((
Demand is high for Porsche’s in Europe and they are expensive. We are lucky here in England that these can be as cheap as they are
Really, not so in Switzerland today, there are 3 cars on the market for btw 24000 to a low mileage 40000 car. But hey, I guess, I woudln‘t sell my car after watching this vid. 😂
Best Car Porsche will ever make ! 2.9 better for uk roads and tax is a lot cheaper Love your videos mostly very accurate and informative
Thanks Kevin, really appreciate the feedback and thanks for the compliment ❤️
Over £300 a year cheaper in road tax. And if you drive normally it's great on fuel economy. Which I do occasionally! 😆
i owe exactly gen2 2.9 pdk for three years now and plan to drive it until it rusts (which is never)
same here bro I hit 3 years with mine a couple weeks ago
987.2: 2009-2012 cayman S. perfect sports car... w/manual.
slightly better looking and performance. significant improvement in engine reliability. been downhill every since, IMO.
Fair point, since your comment we did get an S in stock which is coming in to us in the next few days. Will definitely do a review on that and will let you know what I thought of it 😊
I've had a 987.2 Cayman S with PDK for the past few years. Excellent car in every way and haven't gotten close to exploiting its limits but would consider selling to upgrade to the new GTS 4.0 since they brought back the flat six. Might be the last of its kind, and to my taste looks better than the 987 generation.
@@romulus_ thanks for sharing your experience. Definitely worth exploring its limit, maybe worth going to the Porsche Experience day at Silverstone. Would love to see pictures of your GTS 4.0 when it arrives
@@invictusporsche I'm in the States, perhaps a visit to the Porsche Experience Center is in order.
@@romulus_ yes definitely worth it and let us know what you learn. Curious to hear your experience
Don't think my budget could stretch to a tidy gen2, however does seem almost like a good investment as these cars have almost flat lined in value, dont think u will find a better car for the money 🙌
i HAVE THE 09 S 987.2 with sport chrono pkg and I added the after market TPC turbo. If porsche had presented this combination to the public every other car they offer would have stood behind it.
Do you have the PDK version? I've been trying to get my hands on one that will work with the PDK version
Honestly your thoughts on the base model. Thanks
3.4 S manual rarer.
Well said, it definitely would be 👍
Agree. Better than any 911 and the last raw drive period. If you need more power very easy to do and the engine has the capacity in spades. The 3.4S will be a classic and Id never sell. There simply is nothing better on the road anywhere near the price.
I think the 3.4 will be more appreciated in the years to come. Hope you are getting lots of fun out of it
what a manwell isn't that the guy from fawlty towers🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not DFI only in the S
Thank you for making that clear
Hey Ali G, I like your work, but I can’t take this review seriously if you can’t pronounce Porsche.
Thanks for the feedback. Will work on that ‘Porsche’ pronunciation 😉
Facts is is a hidden gem but very low production numbers , I was lucky to find a 2012 manual ! One of a few hundred something ever made at least here in North America
Globally the production numbers were low as we now know and come to appreciate. Out of curiosity, I hear that in America some people seem to service their cars every 5,000 miles or every year. Is that the case?
Invictus Porsche People do service them every year at least with Porsche and I actually do change the oil ever 5k myself , but many others do as well(this only applies to Porsche owners , normal people never service their cars) . Is this not the case elsewhere ?
Unfortunately on this side of the pond we are told by Porsche to service them every two years or 20,000 miles. Many of the older Porsche’s pre 2008 are having to undergo a comprehensive engine rebuild and to be perfectly honest with you. I now know the underlying problem to why we have so many Porsche’s going through comprehensive engine related works.
I visitier extended family living in California in November 2020, when I found out that my cousin services his Toyota every 5,000 miles or 6 months, I couldn’t believe it.
Glad to hear that you take great care of your Porsche and atleast I have now genuinely learnt and confirmed something here 😊
Yeah £300 a big deal in my world S illy 😊
I've recently purchased a 2011 pdk boxster and it's absolutely fantastic. Handles like it's on rails, comfortable as a daily car too.
It's just our crappy roads it's not keen on.
This car deserves smooth roads!
They are modern classics for a reason. Be careful with the crap roads
I have a 2010 cayman S with 6MT love it!
Same 2012 manual S ! Very few of these out here it’s a gem
Rotating the camera made me dizzy.
Sorry bud :( we will do better next time :)
That would look lovely with some nice side decals!
It definitely would in our opinion but from past experience some people don’t prefer it 🤷♂️
Agreed, Mine has full Porsche cayman R decals and the side vent fully black. Looks 100x better than stock honestly.
No it wouldn"t. Less is always more in my book. :-)
