Love my 2018 Cayman 718. Mine’s a stick but that’s my thing. One option that I have and strongly recommend is the enhanced range fuel tank which was about $150 US. This tank is standard on the S. Fewer trips to the gas station is good!
I bought a Cayman718 S just before lockdown and it’s such a wonderful driving experience! Full navy leather sports pack inside which is superlative to any other car. Rear reversing camera a must and so pleased its there. It’s stunning in Rhodium silver and the red ceramic brake discs look incredible. The way it grips the road especially around roundabouts is a dream. Its a very sexy drive and I’m so pleased I treated myself. It was quite empowering going into Porsche Tonbridge Dealership on my own to buy one. Toby was brilliant. Such excellent customer service. I have no regrets.
Jack, I pulled the trigger today and ordered a 2020 Porsche Cayman S. The test drive I took this morning sealed the deal. Can’t wait for it to be delivered.
@@LifeInMotionuk Thanks Jack. Every bit of enthusiasm and joy you have for your Porsche and have shown through your TH-cam videos, I have too. The test drive (my first) was exciting and exhilarating.
Love the car, hoping to get one soon. Brilliant review too, thanks. I’ve read all the specs but really enjoyed hearing how you feel about owning this. Nice one.
I love it. Purchased the 718 in April 2021 in Agate Gray and I love it after driving it 9 months. I did the built in January and the 3 month wait was worth it. I did not go crazy with options and I think for the ride for the money it one of the best rides available.. Had a 90 minute session at the Porsche Performance in Atlanta in a Cayman 718 GTS4. It was great.
Thanks brother. I been on the fence about this but I think I’ll actually get it. I still have around 2 years warranty on my mustang. Once that runs out I’m definitely getting a Porsche 718 cayman. Thanks for sharing
@@LifeInMotionuk I have the SS Pepsi...now I need the 718! Hoping to get one in 6 months when the lease is up on my VW. Your video is certainly helping!
Mike Mush very nice! Fantastic news, well I hope you find a great one soon! Enjoy - I’m glad you’re finding the videos useful! I’m going to do an in depth review soon
I agree it’s a better looking car than the Boxster, and for the number of days in the U.K. when its sunny compared to raining, I’d always go with the coupe !
Wow what an amazing car I just purchase my 2021 Cayman S and I have till 1/15/21 and after watching your video I'm dying because now I cant wait to get in My car.
Simon Baker-Chambers thanks Simon! Really enjoying it and I cannot wait to release my next video! I finally get it on the road and we can hear the exhaust!
While I enjoyed your video, your enthusiasm for your Porsche Cayman was what I enjoyed even more because that’s the way I feel about the car. I will be getting a Porsche Cayman 718 S a few months from now. The only difference is that I prefer the brighter GT Silver Metallic, which was also the color of my first Porsche.
Sahil Multani so servicing isn’t too bad - roughly £650 for a major service (I think). I’m getting roughly 25mpg on my daily commute but I got 37mph on a motorway run recently! I do 12k miles a year and it’s my daily driver so yes, it can definitely be one!
Gorgeous car mate for sure! You've got me wanting to part ex my Cooper S now and get one of these on PCP haha... I don't know if I'd go for one of these as they're sophisticated or a C63!
@@LifeInMotionuk That's a good point to be fair! I love the spec of yours. In fact... I think the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio might be one for me to consider! :)
Do you still own it? Curious as to how much depreciation you've experienced in the 10 months you've owned it? I really want to get one so it would be good to hear your experience on it.
50 dislikes from "Porsche" Purist people who can't even afford a used entry level. No poor's man Porsche, It's a Porsche still and I love the way it drives.I honestly love the Boxster more than I do the Cabriolet. that 718 is an amazing step up from the 981 in torque
@@LifeInMotionuk Yeah the new ftype tech is on par and the exterior is better on the ftype imo ...The driving experience is comparable ...Steering maybe better on the 718 but the exhaust noise and hp r in ftype favor along with a quieter interior relative to road noise imo
Unfortunately due to speed limit in the UK you will not have a proper experience of understanding Porsche! :D please KEEP CALM AND STICK TO YOUR LAND ROVER
lol my future car...Got a Nismo and accelerate to high speeds regularly. UK has speed limits like everywhere else. You need to be smart where you put power down. Stop hating
Welcome to Porsche ownership. My Boxster GTS was a revelation when i got it five years ago and still have it. Take it to proper roads (Wales) and use it for what it is designed for. The servicing can be spicy however as the services are spaced at 20k intervals so overall fairly reasonable. They are much more practical than first perceived. Things to be wary of: maintaining a main dealer Porsche history makes life easier if selling, fit proper quality Porsche n rated tyres and get PPF applied to the areas which stonechip. Windscreens take a bashing but otherwise these cars are very robust. These cars are designed for driving but be wary that most are garage queens and mileage will hit resale as many are simply used for trips to the pub. I say stuff it and use it and let someone else deal with the wear and tear in a few years time.
Wow thank you! Agreed, already have trips plan for Scotland and France - I agree, I’m going to get a lot of miles on the clock and let Porsche worry about it, hopefully will change to a 911 in a few years
Me: expected something to see if I want to buy one TH-camr: oh wow. Amazing. Modern car wow so cool. Looks amazing nice colour. Me: wtf... You kept fanboy on how it looks, people watch this already know it's amazing but want to know if it's worth buying. You never even went on about cost
Beautiful car, I finish my airline pilot training soon and this is the motor I want to reward myself for all my hard work.
Awesome, all the best with it!
Lol, I finish my pilot training soon as well. I don't have the money yet for a cayman but i'm working towards it. This is my absolute dream car.
I really want to be a pilot lol. Would love to get this car and fly a a350
Finished my Airline Pilot Training and been a pilot for 3 years now. This is also what I have bought in Uk. Top car!
lmao all the pilots wanting a cayman ^^

Don’t know the exact date yet but I was told it would be mid-summer. I will know better next week.
Luis Versace honestly not too sure Luis, I bought my car used :)
so true when you see your car on the road you stare so you can see how it looks rollin 😂

Thanks for the video. It reminds me how excited I was the day at PECLA when I took delivery of my car.

Thanks for the comment- enjoy your Boxster!
hey brother. loved the review. i might be picking one up soon. we'll see
Nick Shawn thanks Nick! Awesome, enjoy!
Finished the hot hatch period “ lol . I’ve probably ended that 15 years ago. It’s funny to see so many people so into them 😀
Much better looking than the Boxster, but sometimes I prefer to have a top go down.
I agree it’s a better looking car than the Boxster, and for the number of days in the U.K. when its sunny compared to raining, I’d always go with the coupe !
Bought a brandnew 718 S in 2019. Had it 2 months and sold it for a 2014 991.1 GTS. For now I'm glad for this decision
Rob Moody very nice, I would have loved a 991 GTs
@@LifeInMotionuk 718 was good as well but the 991 was rated exactly the same like the Cay brought in
First time seeing your video and you are doing a great job !! You deserve way more subs ... keep up mate
Thanks! Really appreciate it 👌🏻 I’ll be doing more videos soon and hopefully the subs will build
When I wash my 718 I love the rear arch. It’s pornographic
Ah it’s awesome!
Purchased a Cayman GTS PDK (2018) with under 6,000 miles on the clock!! My first ever Porsche!! Many Thanks, Peace From London. 🙏
Mega - enjoy! All the best
I love this car!💥
Good for you awesome car my friend
2 Videos in a week, you're spoiling us, keep it up👏
Emmanuel Munyani I know right! I’ve got big plans this year 🙌🏻
Beautiful car man, I just ordered mine today now I have an 8 months wait
Fantastic - the wait will be worth it!
its a beautiful car BUT driving a automatic is like having sex with a plastic doll lol

Humberto Vallejo ah enjoy!
That’s what we wanted to find out 👍
Congrats on your new car
looks better than a 911 in my opinion
Cool car, glad you're happy with it. Looks great, love the black wheels. Drive it a lot and enjoy bud!! :-)
Simon Baker-Chambers thanks Simon! Really enjoying it and I cannot wait to release my next video! I finally get it on the road and we can hear the exhaust!
Nice video! What exterior color is that? Looks great with the black wheels.
It’s Agate Grey 👌🏻 the wheels tie in nicely with the black exhaust tips and the black painted rear spoiler I think
Love the car
All the best bro. Liked and subbed. Make sure you answer the question objectively replaying the question and answering it. Just a small suggestion.

Spec is very tasteful, as is the opening tune! What is it actually? In the meantime waiting for delivery of my all black Boxter T!
Thanks ! Oh I can’t quite remember now unfortunately - superb, enjoy!
Nice overview and can feel your emotions!) Gonna buy me the same car, what’s the color name of your one? Thanks
Thanks! The colour is called Agate Grey 👌🏻
Thanks for sharing. Cheers
How is the maintenance of the car? How is the gas price ? And do you think it’s a daily drive ?
Sahil Multani so servicing isn’t too bad - roughly £650 for a major service (I think). I’m getting roughly 25mpg on my daily commute but I got 37mph on a motorway run recently! I do 12k miles a year and it’s my daily driver so yes, it can definitely be one!
Life In Motion how much were those awesome wheels ? And how much was the total purchase cost because I’m looking to buy one ! :)
Sahil Multani I think they’re roughly £3-4k with tyres - one like mine can range from £40’s to £50k’s, happy shopping!
Congrats mate! Lovely car and pretty much the same spec I'd like to get. Did you finance the car? Would be good to see a video on that. Cheers.
Thanks! It was indeed financed - would a video on my experiencing financing it or financing in general?
@@LifeInMotionuk your experience and number breakdown would be cool
Mad car thinking of buying It as well have a macan atm
Porsche 718 is wayyyy better than the 911. Why? MID ENGINE. Did you get the sport exhaust? Can you fit golf clubs in this (not in the passenger seat)?
I didn’t get a sports exhaust and I haven’t actually tried the golf clubs, I very much doubt it though unless it’s in the passenger seat!
2.0l or 2.5l?
JoTokutora it’s a 2.0l 👍🏻
I hate the arch but on the cabriolet it looks better. I was thinking of getting a gts for my 18 year old son for his bday
Love the car. See you are sporting the Batman as well. 👍
ChipZilla69 thanks 👌🏻
I've been thinking about the 718 T and maybe getting it ECU Mapped...hmmm
Worth it for some more pops and bangs!
Nice. Any regrets? Thinking 718 or used 981
No regrets, really happy I bought it! I’d say 718 is a more useable daily (better fuel economy) but both would be great
Looks so much better than a 911
It does 🙌🏻
Gorgeous car mate for sure! You've got me wanting to part ex my Cooper S now and get one of these on PCP haha... I don't know if I'd go for one of these as they're sophisticated or a C63!
Harry it’s got to be done! C63 would be epic but you don’t see a lot of these! And they are rather classy
@@LifeInMotionuk That's a good point to be fair! I love the spec of yours. In fact... I think the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio might be one for me to consider! :)

Great vid 💯👍👍👍
Thanks!!
Do you still own it? Curious as to how much depreciation you've experienced in the 10 months you've owned it? I really want to get one so it would be good to hear your experience on it.
Haha Bobblehead i do still have the car - it’s held value very well however, during lockdown I’ve done far less miles which has helped value !
@@LifeInMotionuk that's great stuff. how much did you pay for it? £40k?
Haha Bobblehead a similar car to mine would have cost roughly £43-£45k
nice watch
Thank you 👌🏻
Subscribed!! 👍👍
Massively appreciated! 🙌🏻
Is this the 718 cayman s? Or just base?
I know the drive adjustment is a feature, but aren’t sure if that’s on on the s models or not
So the car is a bass 718 cayman but it has something called sports chrono which gives you Sport / sport + / individual modes on the steering wheel

Reaction Bhai it’s a commitment to have two seats but it’s exactly what I wanted 👌🏻
@@LifeInMotionuk so I guess this is gf type car!

@@LifeInMotionuk Yes I have....still have to decide ....718 cayman 2020 vs the new look ftype

They’re both great!
sexy cayman! nice batman as well, what do you do for a living?

In India the price of this car is 120000 dollar .

Mine wasn’t worth the money. New cayman s with ice forming on the inside of the rear lights. Porsche trying to tell me that it’s perfectly normal.

Me: expected something to see if I want to buy one

I would keep almost everything the same, but but it in red.
Subscribing hoping to see your long term review of your Cayman 6 months and 1 year later.
Arjun Bhat thank out! Keep an eye out, it’s coming
i think the interior is due for some new designs, looks quite underwhelming. my peurgout 208 looks better inside
I agree that the 718 is starting to look dated inside!
i like your video. but buy a new microphone please !
300hp..
Nah definitely not worth the money. It's overpriced for what it is. Nothing special....
