@Damon Wayans unfortunately better, more efficient, and more powerful engines don't always mean better sound. Sports cars might not be making sound at all 5 years from now
Vee Macks the more views the channel gets, the more beneficial it is for carwow. Like i said before, not everyone who watches these videos, watches it because they are going to buy the car.. a lot of it is down to Matt and entertainment purposes. Same way celeb endorsement (yianni) drives views to the channel, a retro car wow would do very well also. The more views they are, surely the more likely they are to convert that into a sale..
The only reason they exist and make these videos is to sell cars. That's like Walmart doing a commercial for something they don't sell. Not gonna happen.
I’ve owned a 981 cayman S and now have a 718 cayman S. Unpopular opinion: The 718 engine note sounds great, its loud and cracks and pops. I’m constantly scaring my neighbours haha. I actually prefer it at low to medium revs than the 981 however the flat six is so much better in the high revs. I think the 718 is one of the best sounding 4 pots you can get.
I attended a Porsche Experience track day recently and drove the following on the local road track: 911 GTS, 911T, Cayman S and Boxster GTS.. The Boxster was the best handling of the bunch (of course the 911 GTS had the most power). After my stint in the Boxster someone came up and asked me what I thought of the sound..Sound? I hadn't even thought about it. I honestly didn't even notice the sound at all. I was just having too much fun driving to care.
Thanks Matt for a lovely review. I have owned a 718 for over a year. I agree with all your comments except the basic sound system, which is my view of very good quality [I have owned multiple other cars with Bose or Bang & Olufsen]. This is more so because of the small cabin and the relatively noisy engine. Very enjoyable car
"It's a little bit like an android phone. In the way that it's always lived in the shadow of the 911, with the 911 being an apple phone." Oh Mat, do you have any idea what kind of a sh*tstorm you have just created?
11:38 if you look behind him you will see ForestBoy, a mythological creature from ancient tales. It's said that the sound of 718's engine makes him so sad that he sits alone and looks down for hours.
In my opinion, especially with the upgrade in engine and design in the 718 Spyder, they made the boxter line a better sportscar than the 991, which is more of a GT nowadays
The production should hide very, very random objects on each compartment just to see how Matt react and how good can improvise a comeback at the moment.
Can someone tell me what's wrong with a 4 cylinder? Yall amaze me how quick to critique the manufacturer especially when they have emission restriction policies to comply to. Worse of all yall can't bloody afford the car yet yall have so much to say. What the fudge people!!!!!
@@siyandabiyela2601 Porshe and all of posh manufacturers need those with thick wallets as well as these who can only afford to watch it on yt. Without those who dream about for exampl porshe - it wouldnt be the thing of desire
Dathumm The car being reviewed is the top of the range GTS and has a 2.5l 4 cylinder, so you need the new spyder of cayman GT4 to get 6 cylinders unfortunately.
I thought that too. My 718 Boxster S sounds much more fruity in Sports mode than what I heard on the video. Note that in Sports Plus mode the exhaust is slightly less loud than Sports mode, and there are no pops and crackles.
They did it with the 911 996 (1999-2004) generation and almost everyone hated it they called it "fried eggs headlights" and the car lost its value because of that you can buy one for 20 grand.
I had same model and you can get a golf bag in the boot, long clubs rest on top, and my folding electric golf cart in the front boot. So very practical.
I have the flat6. The 981 BS. It is reliable and great. I have driven from Sweden to Italy and now on my way back. Driven 7000kilometers. It is a headturner in all the countries I have been in. It sounds great to with the PSE. Grips really good. It is heaven like Matt said. 😀
I had an Esprit and a stupidly loud exhaust with minimal back-pressure. The resultant increase in turbo boost pressure from 0.8 to 1.2 bar gave it wheel spin in 4th but I’m much happier now with my near silent Porsche.
Fairly good review. I have owned a 718 and now have a 981 Cayman. Both are great but the 718 was faster, more economical and the engine sound was fine - actually sounded great with sports mode on and sports exhaust system. The manual box wasn’t spoken about enough really and how great It is. I had a manual 718 now have a PDK 981 and both are amazing. As for the knocking of the passenger belt, yep that’s true and it’s so annoying...BUT the solution is to just pull the buckle up to the top of the belt reel and it stops making noise. Forget a crappy BMW Z4 or tacky boy racer Audi TT and do yourself a favour, buy a Boxster or Cayman - you won’t regret it. Once you test drive you’ll be sold.
What made you go from a 718 to a 981? I'm debating getting a 981 now but am wondering if I'm better going with the 781. Am thinking the 981 might appreciate in value mind what with being the last flat 6.
This is a really nice review! I always hated the 718 for having that flat four. Your video was very objectiv and pointed out the upsides of this car. All this while not forgetting about the poor engine sound. Great one! Greeting from switzerland 👍🏻
Boxster’s are one of the few roadsters that can fit two sets of golf clubs and luggage for 2 for a weekend. The rear trunk exactly fits a Sun Mountain stand bag. The trick is the clubs hide behind the tail lights and you use one or two “summer bags” which have no metal spines. Titleist’s have two short “feet” to keep the bag off the ground that hook on to golf carts and push carts. Two summer bags give you extra room for more. My buddy and I do a winter golf trip and it holds our luggage with clothes for a few days and all the cold weather gear we need.
Each day I just wish to be as good as mat Watson when I am blessed enough to go into car review soon.. he just have a unique way of reviewing cars,and as a car enthusiast, Porsche is a must have..
I have had many nice looking sports cars and muscle cars over the last 45 years, but the Miami blue, 2019 718 Boxster checks all the boxes. It has all the power you need, and I like the fact that engine noise is subdued. I couldn’t be more happier with this car. We get more complements on this car, and everyone thinks its an EV when I show them the frunk.

3.7 to 60 in a 4 cylinder. Amazing how quickly cars are progressing.
StrykerV8 it’s not the 4 cylinder only it’s the transmission too!
The 993 Turbo did 0-60 in 3.7s with 400hp and AWD, this car has 365hp and RWD but the benefit of PDK and launch mode

I think Carwow should do reviews for classics as if they were new.. like a retro carwow sort of thing. Would be quite slick
There'd be no link to the buying-a-new-car-at-a-discount element of Carwow though.

Thanks to Mercedes, for now having Real exhaust pipes coming out of rear is being called a cool feature
Isn't Audi the first to do it..!?
Ford, hold my ... hic
I thought the BMW i8 was first to give you a speaker where normal people expect an exhaust pipe...
Mate it's audi who started it not mercedes
The 718 Spyder seems like the dream car! Same car, but slightly better looking and with a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder!

Thanks Matt for a lovely review. I have owned a 718 for over a year. I agree with all your comments except the basic sound system, which is my view of very good quality [I have owned multiple other cars with Bose or Bang & Olufsen]. This is more so because of the small cabin and the relatively noisy engine.
Very enjoyable car
The 718 Boxter Spyder and the Cayman GT4, which is also a 718, are offered with a N/A 6cyl boxer and a manual transmission. perfect.
Johannes Voßgrag I love that combo
Good luck with the $20k+ ADM for those.
Good luck getting an allocation
why is mat starting to look 2 years older every 2 months?
Buy a Boxster Spyder and get your heaven with that 420hp 6-cylinder engine :D
Or the gt4
The equipment listing is much better now! Keep it like this Matt! No more geekmode etc!

@A real bisexual petrol-head Exactly.
The lights are the trademark Porsche look. You can’t change a classic

You should compare this against the older one in a drag race!
Everything looks high quality until you realize the headunit was yanked out of a Jetta
It wasn't though. I've owned both and the one in the Porsche is actually quite nice.
Best convertible I'd say.
I always remember when the Boxster first came out around 1995...😉👍

I have the flat6. The 981 BS. It is reliable and great. I have driven from Sweden to Italy and now on my way back. Driven 7000kilometers. It is a headturner in all the countries I have been in. It sounds great to with the PSE. Grips really good. It is heaven like Matt said. 😀
The Sound of the Boxster is perfect! I love quiet cars.
I had an Esprit and a stupidly loud exhaust with minimal back-pressure. The resultant increase in turbo boost pressure from 0.8 to 1.2 bar gave it wheel spin in 4th but I’m much happier now with my near silent Porsche.

Boxster’s are one of the few roadsters that can fit two sets of golf clubs and luggage for 2 for a weekend. The rear trunk exactly fits a Sun Mountain stand bag. The trick is the clubs hide behind the tail lights and you use one or two “summer bags” which have no metal spines. Titleist’s have two short “feet” to keep the bag off the ground that hook on to golf carts and push carts. Two summer bags give you extra room for more. My buddy and I do a winter golf trip and it holds our luggage with clothes for a few days and all the cold weather gear we need.
