His humor, candor, and enthusiasm are spot-on. And as a 718 owner for the last year, I can thoroughly attest to the description of the car Thomas uses most: "Wow".

    @paulpak1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    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 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

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.

      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.

      Have a look at the Boxter-Cayman between the years 2013 > 2016 (second generation). Observe the headlights are mor 'standing up' in comparision with the earlier iterations and the 718 range. The whole front looks more agressive.

    Original 911--ignition key left of the steering column so that drivers could jump into the cockpit and start the car instantly while doing so. Modern 911--wait 10 seconds for the infotainment system to boot. What irony.
    Great review, demonstrating that the 718 is now the real Porsche, staying more true to the philosophy of a lighter, nimbler sports car.

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...

    Hi Thomas, I really enjoy your reviews and thorough thoughts on these.. May I ask how tall are you (in cm)? Me as a tall person have always found it quite hard to fit into the Porsches when it comes to the seating/legroom. I am 1.94cm and have had both a few Boxsters and also a 991 cab. I have now once again ordered a Boxster T and will have to live with the slight discomfort on the back and do regular stops I guess :-) But it is still worth it driving these nice cars. I am curious to what the T will bring in terms of joy in driving... Thanks! Christian from Sweden

Also, on the track the Boxster/Cayman gives more confidence and easier to drive fast. The performance between a Boxster/Cayman and a 911 at the track was not as great as you would expect.

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.
