The 718 is tighter, more sporty and love the sport exhaust more better! Fills like I’m on a joy ride. A guy pulls up beside me looked at my car and his cigarette fell out of his mouth! True story
I battled for so long between these 2. I ended up with the roof down for summer. Coming from long time ownership of the previous gen l couldnt believe the performance upgrade!!! 5 years & loving it 🚗💨💨✔️
UrXSeLiZeX U follow the speed limit where there's traffic and speed cam, but when the road is empty and no speed cam, dont fcking lie u to everyone u driving under 110km/h. 😂
The Cayman looks better than the Boxster.....with it's top up. Which is the trade off for any convertible. However, take the top down, and the Boxster wins.
Great review! I preferred the song of the F6, but notwithstanding that the 718 is a great car. The options are superfluous to the base car. The standard suspension is good. Don't get PDK or painted air vents, etc., and these can be had in the low 60s.
M Heisenberg There’s a difference between corvette and Porsche. Porsche is quality, corvette is quantity over quality. Corvette will never have the craftsmanship of Porsche or the elegance of it. The corvette has cheap plastic in it while the Porsche doesn’t have anything cheap in it. The corvette might have better performance but it will never ever be like a Porsche. The corvette is a 6.2 liter supercharged v8 while the Porsche 718 is a turbo boxer 4. Of course it will be faster, Porsche is for people with a taste of elegance while corvette is for people who want to look good for cheap. You will look good with Porsche because of the quality and exoticness of it. The corvette isn’t even an exotic car or considered a super car. The c7 corvette Is for wannabe exotic car owners. The c8 might be different but I don’t think it will be as elegant as the Porsche.
M Heisenberg which year did you switch to Chevy? Did you drive any of the recent Porsche’s? Ok I will admit you know more about Porsche’s history. I’m getting my 718 cayman in July. After that I was thinking of getting the c8. Will you be getting it?
This 2.0L in the 718 isn't the same as the 2.0L found in the Porsche Macan. Macan uses the 2.0 from borrowed Audi Q5, however the 4 cylinder boxer found in the 718 is directly from the same engine block as the 911's 6 cylinder. The older Boxster and Cayman's used the same boxer 6 cylinder engine block as the Porsche 911, and the 4 cylinder 718 sure seems like a huge downgrade.
The 718 engine is a huge upgrade, it makes the old seem laboured and sluggish. It’s quieter and has enormous power everywhere, but that doesn’t stop the daft comments sadly. I switched from a 987 to 718 and am delighted by, boy do the exhaust noise clones irk.
Nonya Business Don’t be daft, the 718 is much quieter, but what you can hear is lovely. Some of you people need to get out more. The 718 is a fantastic car and quite a lot better than older Boxster.
I had the 718 Cayman spec-ed to almost similar to this one here and I never regretted any of it. It just has the flair the Audi TT does not have and the Porsche Sports Exhuast really does sound great! Sadly had to let it go now because I am trading it for the Taycan 4S. Back to watch the video because I am missing my Cayman so much. Haha.
This is enough complaints about the engine, and they’re getting extremely annoying. Why cant you guys just enjoy a Porsche for a Porsche? Have you ever heard it in real life? Then you’d know whether it sounds bad or good. I own one, and it sounds horrible in this video. Irl it sounds BETTER than the flat six. But I do realize all these people complaining about the engine aren’t true Porsche fans, and will probably never be able to afford one of these.
Just because someone can’t afford a certain car doesn’t mean their opinion isn’t valid. Your car doesn’t sound good to the majority of people - whether or not they own sports cars - and that’s a fact. Just continue enjoying your car for what it is and stop putting down people for criticizing something you like.
Travis The only one talking crap here is you. Fortunately for me, I drive a 981 GTS and a W222. If you want proof, message me and I’ll shut you right up.
Porsche should just make hybrids of these vehicles (Cayman and Boxster), exactly like the BMW i8. It would probably beat a 911 in a 1/4 mile, but who cares?
Wow its like going back in time to 1990 and my Toyota MR2 Turbo. I guess the constant emissions laws are really starting to kill the sports car. This should have been a 6 cylinder turbo, its a no brainer. This is a HUGE downgrade and not even what I consider an upgrade from my now nearly 30 year old car.
GC Mah Well, there are precedents in America and the UK where the authorities come after individuals who have posted videos of them speeding. Because of this, most of them avoid filming the speedometer while driving or blur it out. I guess there is no such thing in Malaysia yet soo..... 😅
It's too bad Porsche screwed up the styling and exhaust sound of the 718. Even though it has improved performance over the previous Cayman, it has lost that magic flat 6 sound which is why I'll keep my 981. The Cayman was never about all out performance anyway. It has always been about the driving experience as a whole and is where the 718 comes up short.
I wish there's more detailed explanation about the handling of the car rather than using cliche expression like "brilliant" and "fun to drive" etc so that the viewers can get as much information possible to compare it to rivals.
Love my 718 had it for 4 months it’s a Dream, traded my 09 drove for 10 years amazing technology, thank you Porsche❤️
TBH will you miss the 6 cylinders? you know the 4 cylinders sound not that well compared to the 6 one.
@@limpei94 My718 has the factory sport exhaust installed sounds yummy
Why only four months ?
The 718 is tighter, more sporty and love the sport exhaust more better! Fills like I’m on a joy ride. A guy pulls up beside me looked at my car and his cigarette fell out of his mouth! True story
Joy Padee That’s when I bought it🥰

Thats one gorgeous 718 Cayman right there and an absolutely great review! I'm very impressed with the beautiful nature next to malaysian roads...
The spoiler comes up when the speed hit 125 km/h, but wait . Malaysia speed limit is 110 🤔 gg
UrXSeLiZeX U follow the speed limit where there's traffic and speed cam, but when the road is empty and no speed cam, dont fcking lie u to everyone u driving under 110km/h. 😂
gordon Lo shhhh😆
ya worr should have said 70km/h :P
GC Mah please suggest a colour between guards red and solid white
UrXSeLiZeX Thailand is 120km/h. Almost there LOL.
Yesterday I looked it gone in th way! It is so great, so Beautiful, so perfect!
I shouted "what the F" when you just touched the 718 word and the trunk pop open 😂
The Cayman looks better than the Boxster.....with it's top up. Which is the trade off for any convertible. However, take the top down, and the Boxster wins.
Agree! I have 2017 Boxter Stunner!
Very good review GC!
Thank you!
Probably my favorite Porsche's model the Cayman 718 S

question BMW M2 or THis car ? which is better
is this solid white or carrara metallic white
Hey GC Mah, always wanted to ask, what is the road in these videos you guys are doing? Seems very nice for testing out handling of cars.
Kelvin Hii looks like Bukit Tinggi
He doesn't want other people crowding out here he test his cars. kekeke.
GC Mah hhahahaa
Excellent review and reviewer
I think the sound is OK for me because its almost like the real 718 racecar. It sounds Grunty....

Trying to get one. Hope I don’t die driving this thing. Lol. I had the BMW 535i and it was terrible.
More from you , GC Mah please..
Humorous yet Informative...
my dream... isnt the boxster position "lower" in Msia? Question.. this vs TTS.. same power but less price? what u think?
Is swiping the back to open the trunk an upgrade? I’ve never seen that on any other reviews, nor does mine do that!
U need comfort access
guards red or white
which would be better to buy
Fantastic review as always! One of the best
Really feeling I'm watching a commercial here. Not learning much I couldn't have read in a brochure.
Nice report. Very amusing presentation !
Great review, thanks for explaining the sport response button!
Not a fan of the background music with those sharp noises
Such a nice car, only other everyday sports coupes i prefer more is the alfa 4c and the classic s2000 for the revs.. unbeatable
"Cassette player" 😂😂😂
Overboost function actually damage your engine and gearbox in long run
Why is that so? I had the car for 3 years now and always used it whenever I can. Never had any issues.
Always happy to watch your funny review style and what like and don't !!! Keep going~~🙌🏻
will autobuzz review the new 718 GT3 soon?
Awesome review!
I think it would look nice with no logos on the back,; at least not the 718 Cayman, but preferably nothing.

its from subaru wrx
Except it's better than ever before.

How much is 718 cayman in MY? In TH, It starts from 7 Mill THB
hi gc mah this 2.0 engine or the previous 2.9 better and more powerful?
the 2.0 turbo is more powerful. the previous was a 2.7 which i didnt get to try :(
quite fun he way you review ...Fancyyyyyy
The cheapest new car for experiencing formula 1 car-like sensation!
Ill wait for some rich man to sell it to me at quarter of its price few years to come.
have fun maintaining it
maintaining a 4cylinder is not expensive:)
@@meddler766 clearly never owned a Porsche/Volkswagen;)
@@eugenek.165 clearly😂
@M Heisenberg Spoken by someone whos clearly never driven a Porsche
I actually lol at “fancy”. Nice review, appreciated the sprinkling in of humour. The music was annoying.
Nice review, keep going..
which one better sir this or audi tts?????
Tough question! But I would personally go for this.
@@autobuzzmy thanks sir...i will test drive both soon before right hand buy

Solid white or guards red in cayman
Just curious, is there anyone from malaysia that is disappointed cos you cant get either of the 718 with a manual transmission ?
not at all because auto go paddle shifter meh
got
Eugene Wong you can. you just have to be willing to be at the mercy of sime darby
Eugene Wong the GT4 comes only with manual transmission. Though im not sure they even bring it here
They do bring it here, but chances are you cant get it even if you have the money cos it's limited
PASM is standard in malaysia??
Porsche should just make hybrids of these vehicles (Cayman and Boxster), exactly like the BMW i8. It would probably beat a 911 in a 1/4 mile, but who cares?
Please suggest a colour between red nd white
kannambal kumarsamy white
That’s not the GT wheel. I have the GTwheel. There are no buttons on it. Only the drive selector.
Well done

Nice video
Boom

4:37 got wireless charging?
No, that is just a dedicated location to store your phone. The facelift 991 generation 911s have that too, but unfortunately, no wireless charging.
boy638 if u buy it yea
where did you guys drive the car at 200kph+?...
err.. we did?

The steering wheel is at the wrong side!
Porsche cayman 981 lebih baik design dia..
This is the 7th time I've watched this video and i just realised the plate number is 718

CAN YOU SEE MY CAR BEING REVIEWED?
first
5th, yeah
turbo sound is bad ! we want back natural asp. eng.
This car is too noisy after one hour you will stop and buy a normal car
No its too quiet, a sportscar needs to be louder...
lotus Evora 400 is better than this 718...
Oooo Evora 400 is a very very exciting car!
Both have unique character in the way they ride. Both are keen handlers.
Isn’t the Evora much more expensive
i feel like the old cayman looks better thn the new one
Zac other than being slower and older infotainment system, 981 is better in every way.
718 can suck it with the sorry 4pots.
Love the car not the reviewer. Boring
This is a brand for women.
SHAN SHAM you’re obviously unaware of the buyer demographics for this car.😏
Great review!
Is this solid white or carrara white metallic
Fanceeyyyy lol
