  • Why The Porsche 718 Cayman GTS Is THE BEST PORSCHE EVER... I've had my Porsche Cayman 718 GTS for 6 months now and have been actually driving it Daily!? I honestly think that this could be the BEST PORSCHE you can buy for your first sports car... Its not as fast as a Porsche 911, not as expensive as a Porsche 911 and not as pretty as a Porsche 911... but there's just something seriously good about the Porsche cayman... I didn't even get the Porsche Cayman 718 GTS 4.0... some people think that the 2.5 twin turbo isn't up to scratch... but in this video I explain why I think they are wrong... and it could well be the best Porsche money can buy!

    Great video. Looking to get into my first Porsche, looking at the 718 GTS 2.5L, and your vid has settled doubts about going for the 4.0L which realistically is outside my budget. Real person living life accepting we only get one!!

      @@rscholey85 - unfortunately, James lives in the U.K. and the government have decided that no new petrol or diesel cars will be sold in the U.K. from 2035 onwards, that signals the beginning g of the end for the internal combustion engine I’m afraid. Hopefully in the next 5 years, there will be better and more affordable EV’s and the charging infrastructure to go with them.

    • @xstingrayx
      @xstingrayx 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      well look the thing is, you are not supposed to attach anything to the key. even the owners manual tells you that. i'm not happy with that digital button pushing engine start, i mean look there's a lot of purists like us who strongly want to turn a key to start a car. especially these type of cars that have a long history and a brand like porsche who stick so well to their identity and details over time. but each to their own i guess, yeah

      @@stumorgan6921 i understand. i have only driven the 911 and boxster models and i got to say i am still not very convinced with these electric vehicles but i guess that's the train all manufacturers are hopping onto right now. voluntarily or involuntarily, I feel that's what the politics and lobbies are aiming for and want us to. Also i fully understand that these fossil fuels are doomed in the long run. so yeah, if they come up with an electric 3 door coupe on the boxster or 11 base, i'd probably give it a try. cheers and have a nice evening

    That’s why you get the 4.0 haha protect the trousers. But I’m almost willing to trade the 4.0 for that color option which they took off the menu while I’m configuring my build at the moment. And no I’m not paying $11000 extra for custom color that was offered not too long ago. And thanks for saving me a trip to the dealer to see if my golf bag would fit in the rear with the driver and 3 wood left out. 👍

    I just don't get it.. talking about economy figures when you spending huge chunks of moolah on a car. If you going to buy a status car it shouldn't matter what the mpg is. Feed it chopped up polar bears if that's what it needs.
