You have chosen right. Why own a common car. Having something a bit more niche is good.
I totally agree
If you can afford it. Why not ?
It’s extremely common
@@matthewwaldrup149 hardly all the types of caymans in the uk added about 10000 in total. Out of 68 million cars. Its not a fiesta or golf or bmw 1 series 😂
Never crossed my mind to test drive a 2.7 Cayman 981 bought the 3.4S just for everything it has. Looks, performance, handling and the flat 6 engine. Trust me in 20 years time the 981 will be worth more than the 718. Took it on the Snetterton Novice track day with my son and when he drove it. Nothing went past him. It streets ahead better to drive than the 964 Carrera I sold to fund it. PDK is a dream to use in town or on the track.
Once you try one of these you quickly realize that no BMW, Audi, Mercedes or Golf R can compete from a driving engagement point of view, these are built from the ground up as a sports car and provide one of the most thrilling driving experiences you can get for the money.
I’ve had a 2011 987.2 Boxster S Black Edition for a year and a half now which features the slightly uprated 320hp 3.4 engine that when into the 987 Spyder. It’s bloody quick, gearbox is insane, steering is so precise and direct and the handling is unreal - I’ve had motorbikes come up to me commenting that they couldn’t keep up round corners.
I would only trade up to a 997.2 Carrera GTS or a 981 Boxster GTS, once you go Porsche there’s no way out!
That’s what I’ve heard and seen so many times. Once you own a Porsche it seems you keep going back to the brand over and over
@@JoshBatesYT yep! Something for everyone, if you like cruising / grand touring - 911 Targa/ Carrera, brute speed - 911 Turbo, track - Cayman GT4, 911 GT3, fun sports car - Cayman and Boxster, family car - Taycan, Macan, Cayenne etc
All lauded as best in their respective class
The only time people move away in my experience is to ‘try something different’ but it’s usually not an upgrade 😅 I’d still like to try an F Type even if it’s worse in some ways
@@JoshBatesYT That is guaranteed !
Nice car mate! I’ve grown up in a 981 boxster and then a 718 and can say the sound on the 981 is unmatched. You’ll have plenty of fun. Subscribed 👍🏼
I absolutely love it! Thank you mate.
Great pick- I did it too! 2014 S 6-speed. Absolutely love it. Looked at F-types too, but I’m more about the light, mid-engine, (naturally aspirated), epic-handling sports car.
Oh yeah!
Happy motoring!
You chose a great car, it’s a wonderful choice
Would’ve gone for the F-Type just bc of the sound, incredible cars but defo right in terms of content, excited to see this one built!
They sound unbelievable from factory 😍
I bought a 981 boxster s, an f type v6s converible and mkv supra, extremely happy with all! All great in their own way. I would like a 2020 bmw m2cs though!
Good choice!!! Best mod you will ever do - new gen steering wheel!
Nice mate! Thanks for the thumbs up. Can't wait to see your car with modified exhaust. The 981S/GTS is as close you can get to the gt3 sound for a quarter of the price, heck they even get more compliment than gt3s for their throaty high pitch tone. If i have to do my set up again, i would go with brilliant exhaust with fabspeed race headers. That's as close as you can get to the Porsche 911 rsr gte 2017 mid engine racecar👌
I may already have one of those exhaust parts waiting to go on 👀👀
Of course can’t argue the difference of 0.7S between 3.4 & 2.7 However, as the base model has to work harder, you get to enjoy the engine noise far more often and without losing your license. I won’t be obscuring my speed whilst enjoying the symphony 😂
Can't wait for when you put an exhaust on it, that clip sounded so good 🔥
I’m super excited for that 😁
Just found this video from my recommended, really good content on your channel keep uploading pal 👍
Thank you mate!
I bought one in 2020 and it was a great decision!
It was between a Mk5 Supra or a 981 S.
Test drove both and and baought the Cayman.
Love that 👊🏼
Currently torn between a newer model 718 cayman or m2 too haha, under £40k
You thought about a 981 gts 🤔
Best car for 25k if you get one around a 13 reg. Cheap way to be a Porsche owner if you have Ford money if you ask me so it has to be a win. These wouldnt be on my radar at 35k though. Thats AMG/ M car territory.
25k for a high mileage poor spec. If you want chrono pack and decent speck you need at least 30k I still think for 35 these are a good deal and also hold there money very well.
yeah i was gonna get one too but they didnt have the color i wanted , so settled with a polo
I think an audi ttrs would've been cool, but this porsche is still sick
I agree. But each to their own 🙌
That is a very good choice and one I didn't even realise was in budget. Still would've chosen the Porsche over that but I definitely understand the appeal!
They are very quick but supposedly numb in terms of driver engagement in comparison
No I would never get a golf r and a bmw m2 over a Porsche there way to many content for the golf r and bmw u done very well to get one of these and then I would of got amg a35/45s not many on them as well
That’s how I saw it too!!
Could’ve got a BMW I8 roadster or even the base not as fast but damnnnnnn the curves, also lotus Evora but Porsche still a great car 150%. At £30,000 you can even get Into a 8 series and A7/RS7
There are so many good options around that price point it’s hard to choose!
You need FVD headers and FVD tune. Look it up. Enjoy.
I may already have something coming soon 👀👀
I have a 13 cayman s, 32k with chrono pack 66k miles, I have a fabspeed race exhaust, the drone is quite bad though, what exhaust and parts is in that clip, I want a valved exhaust :)
even if its a 5k porsche, it just turns heads
New car looks great, just not sure why you didn’t use your actual car in the thumbnail 🤔
Tried something new for the thumbnail. That is my car just photoshopped to make it blue. Brighter colours usually help make the video stand out!
I looked at the m2 comp and f type v8 and ended up with a cayman 981 s too. Enjoy.
Personal question, im still just buying my first car, but how does everyone buy such nice cars, i see car guys that work jobs that aren't the best paying, and end up with expensive cars like this 😭
I’ll give you a simple answer my friend! Finance
People frown upon it but personally it’s got me into a dream car so definitely worth it for me!!
@@JoshBatesYT To be honest I have been thinking I'll probably need it for my second car, I want to get into the car scene but there's an absurd amount of things I want to learn at once, thanks for keeping me interested though!
How much is a full service?
If it was me I would probably go m2 or a90 supra
Or GR Yaris
Both good alternative 👌
An R35 for £35k would have been my choice and quicker than all mentioned choices...
I’d take the worst cayman over the best golf,
Such a comical comparison
Nice car but it's a shame you don't know how to use a real manual transmission. If so you wouldn't complain about which way to push the lever. 😂😂🤣🤣
Personally, for 35k I’m buying an M3 or a new M340i
But it's not a Porsche
