lol… I drive a GLE 63 S Coupe and I barely have place to put stuff in when I go to Costco.. I can’t imagine going to Costco with this car.. and my AMG is the biggest SUV compared to other rival SUV, X6M, Urus, Porsche Turbo GT, and RSQ8
I got mine in a manual and live in built-up LA. Wouldn’t have done it any other way. Automatic (PDK) is faster, more convenient, and (to me) a thousand times less fun and engaging.
@@leonardopiotti4833 disagree heavily, everyone always talks about this, the gears are long, but by no means are they too long, I've put over 10k miles on my GTS4 this year alone with several track days, at no point have I wished for shorter gears
Thanks for another great review Miles! Funnily enough, this is actually the only car I own and I agree, it is a great daily diver sports car without too many sacrifices. Naturally aspirated, mid mounted GT engine in a road car chassis with a six speed manual... Cant do much better than that as far as I'm concerned. Haven't done a Costco run yet but now I know it's possible!
And there goes one of the greatest Sports Cars in history :') ❤️ Sure, we're getting an Electric Replacement for the Boxster and Cayman, but I'll believe in their greatness when I see it.
To any UK people watching this video. A US gallon is smaller than a UK gallon, so you have to multiply the fuel economy figures given in this video by 1.2. So the 14.2 miles to the gallon stated would be 17 mpg for UK gallons. Something I've never seen demonstrated in Porsche Cayman/Boxter/911 review, when talking about practicality is: Can you fit a mid-sized suitcase in the front? I mean a hard cased hold/checked in suitcase not a carry-on. Don't know about anybody else, but I often get asked to pick people up at the airport and my next car is going to be a Cayman. Would be great to know if I would need to start telling people they need to get a taxi.
in our 981 (2016) Cayman, the frunk easily holds 2 carry-on sized suitcases, altho they are soft-sided. Great trip car--ours has seen 8 states and is good for week-long trips.
Gearing is very tall in Cayman Manuals. Easily you can go past the national speed limit in like 2nd 3rd gear. So if you know you'll be doing bunch of track driving then manual will be fun Otherwise get the PDK.. it's awesome 💯
You mentioned 14.2 miles to the gallon , is it because you love spirited driving or that's just the usual combined ? Would PDK prove more economical ? Thanks !
Watching you get in and out makes me laugh! Honestly I’m the same way….im 5’9” 200lbs and 50 and try to stay fit. But Jesus it’s a task to get in and out with elegance. Especially in parking spots where you open the door a 1/4 of the way to slide in lol. But other than that I love my 18’ Cgts
Did they "fix" the tall gearing issue with the Cayman? Normally 2nd gear goes to 85mph but it seems like you were in 3rd going slower than that. I really want a manual but due to the tall gearing I'm looking at a PDK which doesn't have that problem
I'm in Orange County as well, 2023 GTS 4.0 owner, what back roads where you driving on? Looking for something fun to drive on, not many options in this concrete jungle.
Possibly! Since I've already done the Huracan Sterrato and two other 911s (Dakar and GT3 RS), I might let those breathe a little before coming back to them, but maybe on the horizon
What are you talking about..... the manual had to change gears too much? The gears are so long you can stay in first or second gear up to 60mph.... People who like to drive, love being engaged with the car. I have a manual, it's the best, most fun car I've ever driven. No one I have let drive it didn't get out if it with a huge smile on their face... It's the best sports car EVER.
Great review! Love the car, but I have to comment on the door handles…I just got a Cayman S, and there have been a few people who open the door like Miles, and I’m just horrified. Like why do you open the door like that and let the handle spring back into place. Like use some finesse. 🤷🏻♂️
I wouldn't worry about the handle's integrity, and if there's something to worry about, then Porsche's losing its build quality reputation. I open a lot of different car door handles, and get in and out of cars to film inside and out more often than the average person. Using finesse with every door handle gets overly tedious, in my case.
I'm calling the HOA... your in violation of the community parking code. Your 3 inches over the driveway... That's 300 dollars per day until you correct the problem. Or we will take your home!
Always makes me laugh when youtubers obscure the speedo when engaging in "spririted" driving. Like the police have no idea what the gearing and speed of a Cayman (or any other car for that matter) is in 2nd, 3rd, 4th gear etc at 7k rpm. It's not like it's stated all over the internet in various forums or anything. They don't need to see the speed indicated to get a successful conviction. Oh and do North Americans get taught to put a manual car in to neutral when approaching a stop sign or red traffic lights? In the UK that'd be an instant fail on the driving test.
In what way? What car in this price range gives you this type of engagement and experience. One can argue this car is underpriced because it’s better than almost every non-GT 911 and a fraction of the cost.
Great review, Miles! No one else provides the real life experience of living with a car like you do. Keep it up.
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying these videos
Have done many Costco trips in my 718 (don’t have it anymore), always impressive how practical it is
I was blown away

Yep. If driving a manual is the most fatiguing thing people have to do in a day, they should just get a bus pass.
Same boat, have my gts manual as my daily, and I hate myself sometimes but I don't regret a thing
@@itsy3h gears are too long on gts. You drive only in 3 or 4.

You've got a winner!
Love how you include her in reviews
It wouldn't be the same without her!
@@MilesPerHr im only watching for her include her more
@@MilesPerHr do the chauffeur segment with her
The front of this car looks so clean and pleasant for the eye.
And there goes one of the greatest Sports Cars in history :') ❤️
Sure, we're getting an Electric Replacement for the Boxster and Cayman, but I'll believe in their greatness when I see it.
End of production this July isn’t it? Sad.
NOOOO! This was always my dream car bc my birthday is 7/18 and now you’re telling me I’ll never own one 😢 (well not brand new)
rest in peace
where did you get that from
I think only ending in Europe will still be produced in America
@@dakotagarrett718 Always been my dream car too. 🥲🥲
From the way Miles was driving through those twisty roads, I’m starting to doubt that the coffee he had was actually decaf. 😂

my 911 was able to squeeze a full size check in bag (~60lbs hard case) in the front. haven’t tried the cayman yet but I believe they are the same size
Lovely car I had a 2022 Cayman gts 4.0 in Orange it was perfect every day driver!
Replaced it ? 😀
Gearing is very tall in Cayman Manuals. Easily you can go past the national speed limit in like 2nd 3rd gear.
So if you know you'll be doing bunch of track driving then manual will be fun
Otherwise get the PDK.. it's awesome 💯
Seat heaters in 62 degree weather? What in the world?!! Lol. Car looks fantastic. 👌🏾👌🏾
You mentioned 14.2 miles to the gallon , is it because you love spirited driving or that's just the usual combined ? Would PDK prove more economical ? Thanks !
Love the day in the life’s
More on the way!
Since you drove both the manual and pdk, which one do you prefer?
7:34 Does your car have SPASM or did you opt for PASM for added clearance and comfort?

love your videos as always nice porsche
Glad you like them!
You can actually close the carbon fiber lid of the glove compartment when you pull out the cup holder.
Can you do What's like to live with demon 170?
Yep! In the works
Regarding turn radius and the "small wheelbase": the 718 wheelbase is actually an inch longer than the 991/992 911's.
718 Cayman GTS 4.0 vs 992 Carrera T, which one would you pick?
for a daily, 992 Carrera T. For a weekender, Cayman. I see myself leaning towards the Cayman a lot more due to that NA engine
never stop calling us crew
Since you drove both manual and pdk, which one do you prefer?
I wouldn't mind going through the gears a 1,000 times a day.
Great video. The driveway part is different.
Sport package 😝 love it
Please do Mazda Mx-5 ND3 next🙏
Coming soon!
“I Hope your life continues…” ominous.
Your spanish is getting there hermano! Haha 👍
I'm in Orange County as well, 2023 GTS 4.0 owner, what back roads where you driving on? Looking for something fun to drive on, not many options in this concrete jungle.
what kind of camera and head mount are you using. Tacos look yummy.
hi miles! nice Porsche, and tell your wife to park better! 🤣

No highs, no lows that's boss audio.
I'm hoping to get one of these one day or a rcf or lc500 as a fun weekend toy after I get a gx460
Please do Dodge charger scat pack
In which model will the engine sound better to the ear….cayman gts? Boxster GTS (top down)?
Good question. No wind noise to compete with in the Boxster, but more exhaust note heard in the Boxster.
@@MilesPerHr thanks.
No clue how you got the coffee to stay in the cup when doing that 0-60 pull... typically that causes liquids to come pouring out in my boxster gts.
Could u do one in the Porsche 911 turbo s or the Lamborghini hurracan Evo?
Possibly! Since I've already done the Huracan Sterrato and two other 911s (Dakar and GT3 RS), I might let those breathe a little before coming back to them, but maybe on the horizon
what camera are you wearing?

What year is this car Miles ? 2023?
Put a train horn in it
Why
Fun
I would get some serious anxiety parking at Costco. 😮
The carbon fiber steering wheel is not the GT sports wheel? Its very shiny…
Funny, you answer the question. Why did God make the earth round? You’ll get there eventually!
German engineering everything even the coffee holder

Good quality video and edits. Great car. Lucky enough to get my CGTS 4.0 at just 38 years young....still looking for the woman to share it with lol
what canyon is that
I'm calling the HOA... your in violation of the community parking code. Your 3 inches over the driveway...
That's 300 dollars per day until you correct the problem.
Or we will take your home!
well i mean now you gotta do the gt4 right?
Haha, I don't think there would be a whole lot of difference in terms of "living with" the GT4
LOL... all happy now, but I'm sure you'll sell it once the lease is up (to avoid having to pay for actual repairs).
I bet you can put 200k miles on it with no major problems just normal services
🔥🔥🔥🔥
This or a C8?
dude wheres the green and hot sauce???

Please do a Mercedes E63 Estate what its like to live with
Would have to track down an owner vehicle, but that could be a good one!
I applaud your inclusion of your wife!
Is it about the journey or getting the wife fed and happy?
Nice review, but when you enter the car it looks like you are too tall for this cars.
Cayman rizz :(
I like this car, but that Pilot, though 🤤
How do you afford this car??!!
It'not his car, someone gave him the car to review for a few days.
This is a loan from Porsche for review (not mine)
Just saw this car with the out of spec guys
So sad their ending production just like the jaguar f type

I think boxter better
I mean not much of a difference it’s just a cabrio cayman. But yeah no I agree
Weak is wearing a camera on your hat. On a lunch date. With your mother.
