I have owned a 911, a boxster, and now drive a 2011 Cayman S and I can't find a reason to ever drive a different car. I'm 70 years old and have owned most of the sports cars I dreamed about when I was younger. The Cayman has all the boxes checked and, as far as I'm concerned, my search for the perfect sports car has ended.
Robert Boyce you lucky man! Hoping it will happpen to me too, to own a Porsche as soon as possible and drive with a constant smile.
Robert Boyce
It must be people of our age group . As a young man I dreamt one day I would own a Porsche. Now knocking on the door to my 70th & having spent a lifetime around performance cars I find myself perusing the ad’s for a low mileage, Cayman S daily. Maybe it’s time for my dream to come true.
So great to hear this - and I 100% agree. I've had a couple of Boxsters - 3 911s from a 993 which I really loved. But I'm on my 3rd Cayman now - 6 speed manual , 2016, 981 - and it's just about the perfect car.
This is the most relevant comment I read and should get thousands of like. Thank you Sir for sharing your life’s experience and telling it as it is. ❤
Man, I swear your reviews always do it for me - clear, concise, and detailed but passionate reviews. Great shots, elegant theme music, good mic audio for engine symphonies. I can't ask for anything more from this channel. Great job!
VQSeries Thank you very much ! It takes abit of work to make these, so I really appreciate the postive feedback ! Greetings from germany, Guido / TheGetawayer
No problem Guido, keep up the great work!
Greetings from New Jersey :)
Even though it’s not insanely fast, expensive, or attention grabbing, it’s always been my dream to own a Cayman S. Amazing review!
A rare manual! I have a PDK and, although it's technically excellent, I'm bored to tears and craving having a manual Porsche again (with Sports Exhaust, obviously).
The manual really is lovely, James...But the PDK is great too. It's a tough choice :)
James: well said. I'm glad I have the Manual.
Just ordered my grey 2014 with manual 6. Very excited. Thanks for the informative and well produced review!
Anthony Jaswinski Congrats ! If you like send me a picturte to my facebook-page or email, I would love to see your car, Anthony ! Greetings, Guido aka Thegetawayer
I'm glad you took the time to review the interior of the car as well. Very thorough.
That's great to hear. I think you can't go wrong with Porsche interiors though. I'm a tall guy at 6'4 and I never had any problems :)
Thanks for the compliment, buddy ! It's alot of work for a single person to shot such a video, so it means alot to me when you enjoyed it. Greetings, Guido
Your reviews are the best, they are clear and detailed and the finish is amazing.
On a side note! I am picking up my 981 Cayman this week in sapphire blue! Although I opted for PDK. Your review played a part in it! Keep up the great work!
hbhandal454 Thank you very much ! Happy to hear that ! Make sure to send me a picture to my facebook-page if you can. Would love to see your car :) Greetings from germany. Guido / TheGetawayer
Thanks Matt ! Your feedback means alot to me and I'm glad you enjoyed my review ! Greetings from germany, Guido
I wish they would add a button to the dash so the driver could turn the auto rev-match feature on and off in any mode (regular,sport,sport+).
Thanks, Tiny ! I'm so glad you still enjoy them after all these years. Greetings from germany, Guido
Eine großartige Reportage! Das Ganze ist so realitätsnah, dass ich mir eine Probefahrt sparen kann und das Auto ad hoc bestellen werde.
This is a great review from Guido. It gives all the details and answers all the questions about this very well made car.
Haha, thank you very much for watching ! Why not consider a 911 ? I think a 991 Carrera S would be great way to keep you happy with the performance and despite what other people say the 7 Speed Manual is great ! Greetings, TheGetawayer
This must be one of the nicest comments I have ever read about my videos in the last three years, since I started this channel...Thank you very much ! Really cheered me up :) Greetings, Guido
Pleasingly honest and straight forward review. All the things that make a review helpful and informative. Love your videos !
Thanks !
Great video and very thorough and unbiased review...from someone who admits their true enthusiasm for the 911 too so that much was both surprising and also very welcome. I do agree with your final conclusions that the 981 does now give drivers an option or shall I saw a moment of pause between a base 991 and a Cayman S especially. In addition with the changes between the 997 and 991 in terms of technology, driving dynamics, ergonomics, and price...there are some who would actually chose the 981 instead. I must say I am one of them...currently have 2009 997 C4S and have ordered a 2014 Cayman S (PSE, PASM, 6spd, Bose, Sport seat) and drove a PDK version at the dealership. IMHO the Cayman S in its new generation is much more fun to enjoy than my 997 C4S..at least here in the states where we don't have an autobahn to enjoy. Versus a 991 I think it still can hold its own and it then becomes a personal choice as to what the driver/owner is looking for. Size and power/performance vs a more driver focused nible car that you can push both yourself and the car in more normal driving experiences that are more prevalent here in the US. The 981 overall is a very well put together piece of machinery and its new dynamics combined with its new styling just sold the deal for me. I've had 4 911's (996, 997.1, 997.2 S and 997.2 C4S) along with a Cayenne S and Boxster 987.2 so I know my Porsches but would be interesting in your analysis or thoughts of my conclusions and 997 vs Cayman comparison.
The 911 will always be the king...but the new Cayman/Boxster's well...maybe we're seeing a new prince to the thrown evolve. Great reviews my friend keep up the good work! :) Auf Wiedersehen
Excellent review Guido! I really loved your comments on the auto rev-matching. I agree with you, I hope it does attract more people to the manual. "Even a monkey can drive the PDK car fast" haha. Your comments were really thought out and you made many great points. I think I would choose the Boxster over the Cayman since I love convertibles. I'd have to drive the new 911 in order to decide if I'd take it over the Boxster S. Again, great comments and filming Guido! Keep the reviews coming!
I absolutly agree with that. The 911 will always be that one special Porsche, regardless how many other models Porsche sells. Greetings, Guido
Another great review. I trust yours over others because as a Porsche owner myself, I can tell the passion you actually have for these cars. This is the first time I am seriously considering trading my 996 C4S in for a new 981 S. I would never have considered that until I watched your review. Thanks Getawayer for another honest, insightful and thoroughly enjoyable review.
Thanks Steve ! You know how much I love your videos and how much I enjoyed the Cayman review you did for Rosenthal, so your postive feedback means alot to me. The manual really is a joy to drive. Hopefully one day we can talk Porsches :) Greetings, Guido
Good work! Keep it up. Very good quality of videos and very in-depth look at the Cayman S. Also, its good to get your personal perspective on the comparison between the 911 (991) and this car. I love it.
Thanks, this feedback means alot to me ! I'm glad you enjoyed it ! Greetings, Guido
The interior colour is called agate grey / amber orange...So it's not a camera effect..
I started reviewing cars for american friends. I personally don't watch german car shows, only american or english ones. So it feels very natural to me and there aren't any germans that I know of, that have the same feedback that I get...My accent is pretty strong, but I don't force anybody to watch my videos...Hope that answers your questions ;)
Thanks Jeff ! Really glad to hear you liked the review ! Manuals just give you a connection to the car, that automatics can't really match for me...You are of course correct about the Bose system. I never had test car without it. Still, for the same money that you have to pay for the Burmester system you can get the Bose system and the PSE sport exhaust. That was my point...Thank you for watching and take care ! Greetings, Guido
You are the best reviewer on the planet right now.
Very hard to find this long and focused on the topic (the car) review these days. I also appreciate that you mentioned some details like rev matching, audio system etc... something that is missing in other reviews. Only small con is your english, which I understand as neither I'm native speaker. Subscribed and looking forward to see more your videos.
Thanks Andrea ! I'm glad you to hear you enjoy my videos, especially since you are a Porsche-owner. I must say that I absoluty adore the 964 and its look. If I could get my hands on classic or vintage cars that would be awesome. I'm a huge fan of 80s and 90s Porsches, but I guess unless the Porsche museum or a friendly owner leands me one, it will be hard to get a 964 or 993 for filming :) Greetings, Guido
Great job Guido! You hit 99% of what I wanted to know. I would have liked your impression of the useable room / space in the car.
Guido, Your reviews are getting better and better! Thanks very much. I was fortunate to be in Germany on the autobahn for one afternoon last week with a 650i. Not my first choice in a driver's car, but extremely competent and can do 260kph all day if you want to.
Brilliant review, clear, concise, and as impartial as a true fan can get !!!!
Thanks Jozef ! I know most web-videos are shorter, but I try to give people a full detailed testreport in form of video. It's alot of work since I don't have a camera-crew and do all the filming myself. I'm glad you enjoy my videos. If people don't like my english, well...I'm sure there are other channels for them to enjoy :) Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Marvellous machine and an astoundingly well-balanced review!
Great review! Agree with you 100% on PSE and the SportDesign steering wheel; they're must-haves. The PSE in sport mode is utterly addicting. What a sound! The sport seats plus are also fantastic. Keep up the good reviews!
OMG, wonderful and comprehensive review! Can't wait to test drive this one myself!!! Grtz from Antwerp!
Just found your review and I am impressed with your knowledge about Porsche and enjoyed the high quality of your video.
Point well taken. It is from the German market where I see myself buying as well. I'm a Canadian living and working in Greece, and I have seen the prices and selection here...and they are asking silly amounts, with a tiny inventory. I'll definitely keep you and this great channel updated. Thanks again sir.
Thanks for your review again and esp your considerations when comparing to the 911! The 981s are certainly better driver's car to me, but my problem is that i don't get to drive as much without rear seats ... but the 991 isn't so perfect for its price tag to me.
Your reviews always come from the heart, and while other enthusiasts naturally try to do the same, they don't speak the language of the cars themselves like you do!
absolutely agree guibo. good review. the 911 may be the icon, but a fat one at that. the cayman is what a 911 used to be. light on its feet and a true drivers car.
Glad you like it ! Greetings, Guido
I endured the 3-month wait...just got mine 3 weeks ago. It's worth every second of the wait!
Thank you very much ! Glad you like the video - TheGetawayer
Your camera work is top tier and your are up there with the best like Chris Harris
Hi Guido. Congratulations on another thoughtful, informative review. Yours are some of the finest on the internet. I love the 911 but also think the Cayman is very impressive. I'm glad you chose the manual transmission car, as I would. It's a shame that so few people opt for the manual or even know how to drive one these days. As you know, there is no greater satisfaction than "rowing" through the gears yourself. One point though. The Bose sound system is also an option on both Caymans. Thanks
Thanks Gavin ! I would never ever compare myself to the world's best automotive journalist, because I'm a fan myself, but I'm glad you enjoy my video and the camera work I did. Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Thank you very much, Jeremy ! One of the nicest comments I've ever had. Thank you! Guido aka TheGetawayer
Guido your so lucky to be able to drive such awesome cars.I can understand your love of these cars. Your videos are awesome.You have gotten very good at getting your point across.I think that this video like all your videos are great!
Thanks ! Well you know I'm still a huge 911-fan and personally I would still prefer it to the Cayman, but from a rational point of few: The Cayman is the winner. Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Thank you very much ! I'm glad you like it ! - Guido
Very nice review!! I did not know that that kind of electronic existed associated to manual gearboxes for the less experienced drivers that can't heel and toe. We've already spoke about this and you know my opinion regarding manual gears...manual is the way to go!
I really enjoyed your review of the new Cayman S, especially as I just bought one! This is the first time I saw your site and will now follow it avidly as I am also a Porsche fan (my other Porsche is a 2010 997.2 GT3)
Thanks buddy ! Glad you enjoyed the video ! Greetings, TheGetawayer
Hi had the 997s gen 2 with pdk for a year when I took my 911 for service the gave me a 2014 Cayman s with pdk for a day . God it was so good I just couldn't BELIVE that after driving the 911 for a year and the Cayman for A day it felt much better to me handling grip and the sound that it delivers Intoxicating !! My next car that's for sure 👍😘😃
Thanks Apphia ! I'm sure you'll love the new Cayman. Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
I'm going on 8 years of owning a 2014 cayman s...it's still hard for me to "upgrade" to a 911....but when I get the itch...I drive my cayman and say....what for? This is the BEST car I've ever had!
Don't even worry: I'm 193cm or 6'4 and I can sit perfectly in any new Porsche, Cayman and Boxster included. Go for a test drive and I'm sure you will love it ! Greetings from germany, TheGetawayer
You're very welcome, thank you, Jeff ! I personally would buy a C4S because I prefer the look with the wider rear wheelarches and the taillight stripe. Helped the 991 design alot imo. Greetings, Guido
Excellent review of a magnificent machine. I'm glad you went with the manual transmission. It was great to hear how much fun it was to drive...even when stuck in traffic! You provided just the right amount of detail balanced with your personal insights and enjoyment of the car. Great job..:) Steve
Thanks ! I'm glad you enjoyed it ! Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Nice review, I also love the 981 S
Congratulations, John ! All the best for your ownership ! Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Once again, an excellent review, Guido. You really should have your own television show.
I haven't driven the new Cayman S, but you"re probably right that its layout is so well suited for its engine that it offers a better driving experience than a base 911. Yet, the 911 is just so much more of a car than the Cayman. The 911 is, as you've mentioned, a more mature car, a more desirable car. Put those two cars side by side, and the 911 -- even the base one -- will stand out.
Well done mate. Great review, always looking forward to your next video to go up.
Really love your reviews getawayer, very informative and to the point.
I think the cayman S with the proper manual gearbox is the ultimate drivers car to have fun with, especially in conjunction with the LSD, pure bliss!
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the renault megane RS. A cheaper FWD car, but an exceptional car nonetheless and probably a more realistic option for the average youtuber!
Thank you very much ! Not sure if I can get the RS, but I'll give it a try. It does look very sporty indeed :)
This was a presscar for journalist given to me by the Porsche pr-department. I tested it for 10 days. Greetings, TheGetawayer
Your review is very helpful and I really appreciate your efforts to present such a proper and high quality video. My CS will arrive late September, PDK with SC package. Will share the photos once it arrives.
I hope you get the chance to review 991 GT3 soon. I can't wait to give us your feedback about it.
Great! I absolutely love the Cayman S! I know we are supposed to crave 911 and their unique layout but the laws of physics (referring to superior Mid-engine layout) and appealing price make a Cayman a prefered car for me. And now it looks fantastic too!
Excellent review your doing a fantastic job reviewing the car I'm saving up for! More please!
Thank you very much Paul ! I'm working on it. Hopefully I can bring you more Porsche content next year ! Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Well that is great news .. a choice for either transmission in the GTS !
- we in the US appreciate your honest reviews , again many thanks -
I made sure to get a manual. The PDK in the Boxster S last year was awesome, but the manual is just pure joy :) Greetings, Guido
@10:38.. haha, you are so right. Loved this one in particular since I have a 987c manual - but the interior in the 981 is so much nicer!! Keep the reviews coming, they are really enjoyable!
MrSlash00r Thank you very much !
Another great review Guido, looking forward to a Cayman GTS analysis!
Another great video Guido.....just makes me want a Porsche.
Fantastic review as always. I hope you get to drive a Cayman GTS one day. I've read nothing but good things about that version
L. Hanson Thanks ! Well, I just did the new GT4 and between this and the S, I don't see much room for yet another Cayman review, eventhough I agree and think that the GTS might be the best version of them all :)
Glad you like it, Andre ! Greetings from germany, Guido
Thanks for the feedback ! The manual really is a must for The Getawayer, haha. I'll do my best to have more Porsche videos for you guys this year. Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Great review. Your videos seem to get better and better, keep up the good work!!
And thank you for the reviews! Hope you can get your hands on the new GT3 soon !
Thank you ! This was my 3rd Porsche presscar after the Boxster S last year and the 911 Carrera 4 I drove in March. If you see the sheer number of cars they have in Zuffenhausen, you would be amazed ;) Greetings, Guido
That's correct, but the Burmester website didn't say that back in July when I filmed this video. I saw the new S-Class with a Burmester system, so I'm aware of that ;) Greetings, TheGetawayer
Thanks Wim ! Glad you enjoyed the video. Can't really do much about my accent, but I guess most germans sound horrible talking english so at least I try my best to have the right vocabulary for these kind of videos ;) Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Brilliant review! Thanks Guido!
Finally a Cayman Manual...!!! Excellent..!!
You missed the sports exaust. It really makes the driving experience even better. With a shorter gear ratio, like a 911, it would be even faster. Give it the same engine as the carreraS, and i think it would outperform it. Its just a better sportscar due to its mid engine configuration. I also love the 911, dont get me wrong. But perhps now more a GT car, a great one. This cayman 981 is just a masterpiece!
Great review I agree with DtotheG1969 - definitely one of the best I've seen. I really liked the point you made about the PDK introducing people to the concept of 'heel and toeing' and thereby making them more conscious of the effort actually involved in driving a manual. I also think both transmissions have their place in an enthusiasts car - depending on what the character of the car is. Keep the reviews coming! Shame it didn't have the sports exhaust, it would have sounded even sweeter!
Thanks, Nick ! Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Thanks, Geoffrey ! Greetings,Guido
what a fantastic review. The best I have seen on this car and may well have convinced me that this is the car for me after many months of debating. 2016 looks like it's bringing me a cayman S. I'd want the Burmester sound as I have heard it is amazing.
+goodshoes07 Thank you ! Yes, at least order the Bose system, the base audio system in all Porsches sounds very bad :)
TheGetawayer thanks for reply. I am subbed to you now so keep this excellent content coming. Between you and Chris Harris I think I can find out everything I need to know about a car!
+goodshoes07 Agreed 100%. This is the best review of the Cayman. But, when I think of "Porsche" I think "911". And, while I haven't driven either a Cayman or 911 I think for me it would come down to how much I would have available to spend. If I could afford a 2016 911 Carrera S with the options I want..I'd rather go that route. If I'm short $50-60,000 then I'd likely get a Cayman GTS.
As for the Burmester sound system...While I know their rep as a hi-end home audio company...I'd rather get a system I chose over one Porsche offers. Bose...not known for their sound quality by "audiophiles" yet probably more than acceptable to "average ears". Burmester from Porsche..overpriced. And I want to choose the speakers and amp that sounds right for me.
Anderson C You'd be struggling to find anything on a Porsche that isn't overpriced! My options are the 981 Cayman S or the 997.2 911 Carrera 4S. Still haven't decided as I'm waiting for a property to complete on the sale. It's been 8 months but the completion date is not far away now! I either have the more 'analogue' driving feel of the 997.2 or more creature comforts (and probably reliability) in the 981 cayman S. I'll be pressing for manual transmission in either but as I'll be in the second hand market I might have to settle for PDK as far as the cayman is concerned, depending on what pops up at the time. Hopefully I'll be getting to some Porsche dealerships within a week or 2! :) I had a go in a 991 Targa GTS yesterday. It is stunning but costs £125,000 (around 180,000 US) More than double what I have to spend!
goodshoes07 Porsche's asking price for ceramic brakes is "fair" at just under #9,000.00 :) Stereo system NO. Plus, I'd rather have the option of choosing the speaker/amp/headunit I prefer. :)
Other options on a Porsche is like paying for French doors from a new home builder. Usually 3-4x more than they cost at a Home Depot.
Cayman S vs 911 Carrera 4s. Hmmm...Hard decision. mid-engine handling vs AWD + 1 second faster to 60 mph (under ideal conditions...on the street..never happen). I bet you'd enjoy the Cayman more. Get more "Porsche driving experience". Lighter and more nimble. For me it would be a Cayman GTS vs 911 Carrera S. I can't really justify a 4 or 4s and i live in Canada.
Another amazing review done by an easily apparent porshfile ! Nice work
Oh, I didn't take your comment negative, I'm sorry...That's just the story behind these videos :) Thanks for subscribing, Jerome ! Greeting from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Great review - sent to me by a friend who wanted to reinforce my own purchase decision. A year ago, I pulled most of my hair out trying to decide between a very heavily discounted brand new 2012 911 GTS (MSRP $119,000; price $85,000), a heavily discounted brand new 2012 base 991 Carrera (MSRP $96,000; price $80,000) and waiting for the new 2014 Cayman S. I chose the last, placed my custom order in January, 2013 and waited not-so-patiently for the car to arrive in May,2013. Now, with 6 months and nearly 7,000 miles under my belt, VERY happy with my decision. The "deal" doesn't look as good on paper - MSRP on Cayman S was $78,935 with a modest 5% discount to $75,000, but the driving enjoyment is a significant notch up from my previous 2005 911S Cab, which I drove "only" 30,000 miles in 5+ years. Had I not already owned a 997, the 2012 911 GTS would have likely been my choice. But the new mid engine, lighter weight and tighter handling Cayman S is such a joy to drive, that I'm not missing the extra power of the GTS or the extra size of the 991. It fits me like a glove and engages me like no other car I've owned.
White, PASM, Sport Chrono, Infotainment, 20" Carrera S wheels, Adaptive sport seats, 6-speed manual. Check in with me at 10 years and 120k miles, I'll still be smiling.
Great reviews and I'll be forwarding your site to other friends that will greatly appreciate your insights. Best regards.
Thank you so much ! It's comments like yours and stories from fellow Porsche fans why I love filming these reviews. I personally absolutly love the 997 still. A GT3 would be my dreamcar, but for the money the Cayman S is just a bargain and I know your not the first 997 owner who bought one. All the best for your ownership ! If you can share a picture of your car with me on my facebook-page. I already had a few Porsche owners who did it. Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
TheGetawayer Thanks. I'd be happy to share a photo, but need some instructions on how? I'm teaching my daughter how to drive a stick and in exchange she will be showing me how to use Facebook. (No, not teaching her on Cayman, rather my Acura TL 6-speed). Unfortunately, we are both still stalling out too much. Regarding your dream car, recently met an owner of a 2012 GT3 with 4,000 miles who was trading it in at my dealership to order a 2014 Cayman S. He never made it to the track and he claimed driving the car on the traffic clogged roads around Washington DC was "too punishing" with it's super tight suspension and heavyweight clutch.
I'll take a shot of the Cayman tomorrow with my i-phone if you can tell me what to do from there.
epn2 Really cool ! I met the owner of a 997 GT3 who allowed me to drive and film it this year. He uses the car as his daily driver from March to October and lives in the crowded city of Düsseldorf :) I'm sure it's not for everybody.
My facebookpage can be found via this link: facebook.com/getawayerTV . You can either post the picture on my wall there or you send it to me in a private message. There's the option to attach a picture under the window where you type in the text. I'm sure you'll get it :) Greetings and again a big thanks for your comment ! Guido
Yes, that the point that's hard to explain for me. If you like driving with the top down the Boxster is the obvious choice. Greetings, Guido
First video of yours I watched, extremely good.
Thank you very much!
I'm 6'4 and I had no problems in the Cayman to be honest. The price makes the Cayman S very appealing, but trust me: A Carrera S is in a different league. That's why I pointed it out. Greetings, Guido
I need to get used to your accent, compared to other reviewers. But you camera work and information are very good. So subscribed to this channel, and i liked your review. good job.
Pierre, I'm well known for being a 911-fan, so I personally would always have a 911 instead of any other sportscar. My personal favourite is still the 997.2 GT3. Drove one this year and made a short video. This car will be one of the last sportscars purely focused on driving, real driving for me: Having a manual, the gloroius 3.8 liter engine, best suspension and steering in the world...I doubt the new GT3 with PDK will be as satiesfying to drive on public roads for me. Greetings, TheGetawayer
You are pretty good at this. This revamped Cayman really shines through, so it use to be okay to buy a Cayman for a bargain but now its crazy how good it is. The looks of it is so damn appealing from any angle. 911's benchmark= met ?
...so used 991 S vs new 981 S. problem solved :). Thanks Getawayer, another great review
Love this car. Great review Guido. If this were priced below the Boxster I'd take it, however, with the Boxster priced a lot cheaper that the car for me.
I can't find the article I read previously about the PDCC increasing 991 understeer, unfortunately. However, this is what AUTOCAR said after comparing the C2S with and without the PDCC system: "All things considered, we prefer the more natural progression of the car’s handling without the system, but those looking for the last word in track composure may well have different priorities." The forum comments I've read are mixed. I would trust your opinion more, though. Jeff
