- Welcome everyone to my first ever Porsche review!!
I can't believe I'm writing out this description but I have reviewed the Cayman T!!
This entry level model (alongside the 718 Boxster) is the entry level model to start you off with your journey with Porsche!
When it started the Cayman was essentially a Boxster with a hard roof and that is no bad thing. However throughout the years it has grown into a serious contender in the 2 door, 2 seater coupe class. Often competing with the likes of the Audi TTS.
However the Cayman now has to deal with rivals from Alpine with the A110 and the new Toyota Supra!!
Watch to see if I like the Cayman T!
This Cayman T is jam-packed with extras! Over £15,000 worth!!
Carrara White Paint £581.00
Black Leather Interior with 718 T interior package in Racing Yellow £1,242.00
Headlight Cleaning System Covers Painted £143.00
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) £2,303.00
64 Litre Fuel Tank £84.00
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) £5,177.00
Wheels Painted in Satin Black (Complete) £501.00
LED Main Headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus £1,397.00
Automatically Dimming Mirrors with integrated Rain Sensor £345.00
Cruise Control £228.00
Park Assist (Front & Rear) £623.00
Interior Package 718 T £1,809.00
Two Zone Climate Control £539.00
ISOFIX on Passenger Seat £126.00
Leather Interior Package (with Leather Interior) £518.00
Porsche Communication Management (including phone prep, sound package plus) £0.00
That's a hell of list!! - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
The vanity lights are an optional extra you need to spec it,my cayman T is due next month (1 of the last to be built as it’s discontinued) and they had to tell me about the light under the sun visor)
Thank you for the video
Nice review. My wife and I toured Europe for four weeks in a 718 CGTS. Plenty of trunk space. Two carry-on bags in the frunk and a duffle with two back packs in the rear hatch. We travel somewhat light but works well, IMO.
I like your review very much. Nice delivery with detail and a natural and understandable style. I personally think the 718 T is a very smart buy for most of us unless we want to be really competitive at the track and then it's a GT2RS and nothing in-between.
The T gives you both a sensible daily and some fun at the track to improve skill level while not breaking the bank.
Good job!!
Thank you for your comment Chris. I am really happy you liked the review and I agree the T feels very suited to being a daily driver than an outright sports car. The GT4 would be an amazing car to look at next as a comparison.
Just figured out your video and your style of explaining is hands down so smooth and professional. Big like
Thank you for your comment Sebastian. Glad to hear you enjoy my presentation style. Hopefully as time goes on I'll get better at it!!
@@AutoBears just be yourself. That's better than 90% of car presenters at TH-cam. Also you made me seriously thinking of getting a Cayman T.
Before I was looking for Lotus Elise, cut the Cayman is much more elegant and... Yeah, it's a Porsche 😅
A candid and empathetic review. Really appreciated it.
Thank you Paulo for your comment. I’m glad you have enjoyed it.
Molto bravo e convincente!! OK+++++++++++++++++
Good video, will look out for more 👍🏻
Thank you for your comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the review.
I thought I wanted a manual until I watched this review, thanks for posting.
Thank you very much for your comment. I think a lot of people would put the manual first for that pure racing feel but I cannot deny how much I was impressed with the PDK. Super smooth and quick, not to mention the feel of the paddles which provides a positive yet premium feel. I’m glad my video helped.
Very good review mate 👍
Thank you for the comment Jack. Glad you liked the review.
Another good review.....
Thank you very much for the comment. I know the video is a bit long but wanted to cover everything with the Cayman T.
This was very witty and informative.. Thankyou! New subscriber.
Thank you very much for your comment. Glad you liked the review!!
@@AutoBears You'll have to review the new GTS 4.0 flat 6 incoming.
I can always ask and see what happens.
Any reason why Porsche decided to block off engine access (or even visuals) from the top on all the Caymans/Boxsters and (as well as the 991/992)?
Woof for the sexy bear and great car ! Did u make a review of the Z4 m40i ?
It's a fantastically practical little sports car, I used a 981 with PDK for 5 years as a daily for work and leisure! While it is indeed "relaxing" to have the PDK, that's not what I am looking for anymore hence I have gone for the very manual 718 Spyder. The clutch is much easier than in the 981 GT4 I tried a few years ago, so why not?
I hope you get to drive all the Porsches you like... Would love to see you get out of one which has the 918 buckets though! ;-)
Thank you for your comment Erwin.
That’s great to hear that your needs changed and that Porsche had the right car for you. Indeed the PDK does give that element of relaxation to a daily commute. But of course if you want more involvement the manual will give that to you.
Well I’ll happily give them a try and if I can fit in a Caterham so anything’s possible!!!
I’ll ask Porsche to see about a Panamera or Cayenne for the next car to review.
Great review, excellent level of detail on the Cayman not seen in most TH-cam reviews! Just two points, I’m pretty sure that android auto is not available, and there is also no wireless charging option.
Thank you for your comment and pointing that out. Yes I found out afterwards that the symbol on the pad is for signal boost and android auto is not available. I made the mistake of making an assumption. 🤦🏻♂️
Beautiful car, great review just want to know if those seats are leather with a textile mix
Thank s for the comment. They are leather with a textile mix. However being a Porsche, there are a number of options available and I know you can always upgrade the seats.
7.20 there is an option for about £330 of buttons on the steering wheel.
Thank you for your comment. Yes there is. There really isn’t anything you cannot get on a Porsche.
nice
Mid life crisis requites MANUAL :) and young woman next to you :)
Thank you for you comment Bob. But with the PDK it means you can put your hand on his or her knee!!
Porsche only supports Apple Carplay, not Android Auto.
I found that out later on. Thanks Paul
