At 0:53 when the car, the owl and the music all come together at the turn...well that is about the best accidental moment of any car review, anywhere, anytime.
/DRIVE is something I feel connected with, but when some new guy suddenly appears like this that throws me off. Please, if you will use some new people, introduce them first. Humans generally dont like sudden changes. Constructive critisism for the review: Not so informative, not so engaging, nothing new or very different from other channels reviews on the car. If this is supposed to be the guy we will see with the new cars from now on, he needs to differenciate himself more.
Hahahaha
+bingoberra18 Absolutely agree
When I saw Matt Farah's name as a contributor, I expected some screen time from the lovable oaf, but nah. And I gotta say, as petty as it sounds, that turned me off the video completely.
+bingoberra18 Your comment nailed it. DRIVE sold themselves completely... only thing left is AFTER DRIVE...

"i can balance it with the steering and the throttle"
oh yeah? I can balance my mom's toyota yaris with "the steering and the throttle".
"Purer than a Morman high school." So all the good stuff happens in the back?
He must have never heard of the poop hole loophole!
How the fuck did you guys get Hedwig to fly by casually at 0:54?
+SoCalSupercars It's called luck.
"Purer than a Mormon high school."
I almost spit out my drink. Brilliant.
Who's idea was it to bring Ser Jorah over to The Drive?
What was that fuckin owl doing? It's not even night time.
+Sebastian Rosenberg Owls don't give no shits. Must have seen a mouse down on the track lol.
+Sebastian Rosenberg that was the single greatest second of cinematography I've ever seen.
+Sebastian Rosenberg
Illuminati confirmed ✓
I could almost hear Skippy "Would you just look at it?"
+Bad Dallas Drivers LOL that's what he reminds me of
aydie seven thousan daallers!
+Alfred Munkenbeck Nailed it! What's that accent btw, I'm not a native English speaker so I can't identify it..
+Magnacier Either NYC or Boston accent i think.
+Magnacier he's got a North-Western U.S. accent, as heard in the film 'Fargo', or from the mouth of Sarah 'The Putin'ator' Palin
Hahaha ok thanks guys! Have a good one!
+shaft9000 Detroit, actually, but now 14 years in Brooklyn. But you can't take the midwest out of the boy, I guess. Thanks for watching.
This guy tries too hard. He exclaims things emphatically, and, while it may come off well in writing, on video it feels forced, unnatural, and scripted. Talk to me about the car, don't talk at me.
+Caleb Marshall that is the best put critisism i have ever seen
+Caleb Marshall I don't understand... all he did was talk about the car...
Anyone else cringe watching him drive with his fingertips?! It's like someone said don't place your sweaty palms in the steering wheel.
+Bobtrain Yeah I don't get what he was doing there :)
+Bobtrain he's doing it to keep inputs light while its a bit over exaggerated light smooth steering input is a fundamental of good track driving
It's a great car, that deserves a great review
What did I just watch???
The editing and direction of this is on another level.
My boss was looking at Porsche's a little while back. I suggested this car to him and he literally just laughed and said "A Cayman isn't a real Porsche." His loss I guess.
+Roy Diedesch Well there are still people around who are slow for change of mind - sometimes good reasons and other times for bad reasons.Your boss has apparently stayed in the former perception of the Cayman since not many people do doubt the sport and engagement qualities of the latest generation of Cayman and Boxters. If one looks at the broad spectrum of reviews on the new Cayman - A car will seldom get so many positive reviews as the the Cayman in various versions and in particular the GT4. I have seen others snobbishly degrading the Cayman as a car you choose when you can not afford a 911 - This is also related to the old perception, thus neglecting that the 991 Series has gotten far more "GT" elements to it with more luxury etc. - Understanding what a real sportscar should be is unfortunately often replaced by people who entirely looks at the Ego and prestige factor or on the Power Factor rather than what is real driving joy. Most current super sportscars now hard to utilizes in a fun way on normal roads - They are simply so fast that the area and peak enjoyment spot of sporty engagement is hard to reach without risking a lot of things. Smaller sportscars are often far more fun as daily drivers since their enjoyment driving spot appear much earlier in the speed range - so you get more engagement and the feeling of thrill more often. The Cayman is one of those cars that can bring this joy to the road or with the GT4 to nearly any drivers situation. Sure if you go for 911´s of GT3, GT3 RS or R - yes you will get even more rush, but if you take e.g a Targa you will get less involvement and more leisure. So your Boss is not up to date on the Cayman or he might not know what real driving satisfaction is about. If one took the GT3 Engine and put it into the Cayman + a manual box, then one would most likely have one of the most exciting sportscars ever made.
+Roy Diedesch He's a real idiot though.
+MagicAyrtonforever even the original cayman was great. The boxster was like the modern age 944, but the cayman has always been good
Roy Diedesch I agree, I have a 987.1 CS - It's truly amazing.
What a beautiful landscape around the track...
+ToraxXxBS And that shot with the owl was just magic!
who the eff is this guy and what have you done with Spenelli?
This review was hard to watch guys. Is this guy serious? Bring back Harris.
+SniperEliteLSH i think Harris is kind of busy right now with that job he now has at top gear
Harris set the bar high! Know body will be able to match him
+SniperEliteLSH Harris was just at the Nurburgring couple days ago.
Drive can't win, for now. TH-cam drops the funding, but the Internet's wants to video. So Drive+ was created. The internet cried. Now Drive is doing great free content again, but that makes the sell-outs because they found someone to back the expenses.
Any, boo to all that, I enjoyed this video, the comments will hopefully quiet down a bit and can't wait to see more car videos.
this guy sounds like my grandmother from buffalo. Nice Caarr!
I like this guy *grabs popcorn*
The reviewer's voice on this video reminds me of a character on the TV show Studio C.
Needs more Matt Farah
If you come in late (thats fine) don't tell us about what we already know. Just enjoy driving the car and share that experience with us.
Good job, keep it up! - don't try too hard to copy anyone else.
damn the GT4 sounds good
3:30 I would say this every time I pull onto the freeway in this car if I had one
It's worrying how negatively people are effected by changes on TH-cam, I haven't seen one new presenter be positively greeted by viewers...ever. Even Jason Cammisa wasn't and now everyone loves him
+S Miller Everyone on TH-cam is an expert demanding free content with the patience of a 7-yr old.
Thunderhill looks unreal!
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I love the new talent! Like Mr. Ulrich's writing, good to see him here.
That is Guard's Red right? Man... those drastic elevation changes on that track! Looks immensely exciting.
It is good to have normal drive back!
The ''Chief auto critic'' is shuffle steering a Porsche on track?
: : Bring Back Chris Harris : :
+David Holness He works for Top Gear he isn't coming back to Drive
Nice filming and music.
Inevitable upgrade :
A 7800rpm redline in a GT4 "Racecar" w/flat6 means that the owner will want to build+remap that detuned Carrera 3.8 engine back up to snuff. Should be getting more like 450+hp from that engine.
Manual like God intended
Hows the track called that starts at 2:44? it's amazing!
the music is great!
Wow. at 0:53 an owl flew across the screen. Good photography.
That owl that flew across the scene at :54 has a mouse in it's claw
Great car
Great car, not much in the way of substantive details
I like the wing of the Porsche!
he couldn't fit in the bucket seats
+thechosendude my cat's name is mittens
therustytromb0ne boooooo.... The OP edited his post like a pansy. He said Matt should've tested it.
question! is there a chance those pccb ever fade in a spirited driving on a long downhill canyon road???
The video quality is great, but bring back Farah. Hell, I'd watch Joe Rogan and Farah review cars, that would be a blast!!!
I like this review style a lot better. The usual sideways tire smoking stuff makes me cringe. Fast cornering on the right side of the limit is much more satisfying to watch! I believe the owl approves as well ;)
I think Randy Pobst needs to teach this man how to hold the steering wheel. :D
+NikesZ28 Ha. I do tend to hold it light to avoid doing the death grip, which just makes your hold body tense. Tip from Hurley Haywood, actually. Thanks for watching!
Host, Director, Editor, etc. credit to them, but I really want to know who was that owl?!?!
I am glad that he pronounces the brand name correct with "Porsch-uh" and not "Porsh".
+Peter Pan Well, "Porsch-eh" would be more correct. Actually sounds more weird the way he pronounce it than just Porsh.
Enjoyed watching , thanks. I just wish we were actually able to buy one, Porsche seems to love building cars by the hundreds now. :/
come back chris, all is forgiven
....+1.... Yeah man! .... GT4 Cayman.
I'd like to know what he means when he says, "the balance". I actually do know what it means but I know that a lot of people out there don't
This is the first time i have skipped ahead on a drive review......dang that was hard to watch.
I want this song! Badly! Someone knows who did that or what precise kind it is? Or knows a similar song?
+Romain „Herres“ Sandt Its Shadowtalk by Alex Arcoleo
thanks!
Woah there Richard Simmons
Someone who thinks they can buy a well speced GT4 for $90k would be laughed out the dealership.
+scruffy wuffy he would laugh before that, they're all sold
You lost me when he shook the steering wheel with his finger tips to show "the balance."
Anyone know the name of that first track?
Yeah the cayman gt4 is awesome... but I wouldn't drop 6 figures on a porsche unless it's a 911
same here whether new or old.
+Jason Holtkamp This is better than any 911 within $50k. It's a 911 engine in the correct place, GT3 front suspension and a proper manual gearbox. I'd take this over a 4, 4S any day, everyday and twice on Sunday. I'd still have a hard time justifying paying the premium on a 911 GT3 or turbo, that money would be better spent slapping a turbo on this thing and with a bunch of $$$ left over- enough for a pile of coke and 10 hookers.
lmao fair point
We demand Chris!
What was this review?
-It's pure
-BAWANCE
-TWATTHLE ADJUSTABILITY
-It's got expensive bucket seats that are difficult to climb in and out of.
Do we need to pay for the actual review?
What does it feel like to drive such a balanced car?
How's the manual gearbox? Etc etc
Not very in depth, I suppose.
>tfw this car is only going to appreciate in value and you'll never be able to afford it
Feels badman
What's left for us? Old Lotus Elise/Exige? Toyota sports cars?
REVIVE JAPANESE 90'S SPORTSCARS NOW
+Nee het is steen yeah pretty much
*****
Dodge Vipers aren't even sold in Europe, except for the ugly RT/10
;_;
Chris Harris needs to drive this!
He did already. Search it. His review is way better
owl was awesome! dissing Pontiac though.... curse words
I'll trade my boxster s straight up if anyone decides this is too much car for them or they want a vert. :D
A classic example of less is more. Meaning both the Porsche and the reviewer on opposite sides of the spectrum.
Guy seems like a HUGE Porsche fanboy...
I also would like to know his time if he set one...I mighta been faster in my almost 30 year old RX7 lol
Sad you can't afford one?
peterk814 I actually can.
But thanks for your fanboyish comment.
+TheXdmgx7 mommy said she would buy you one? Sweet of her.
+peterk814 Your assumption of who I am could not be more wrong.
But feel free to continue this nonsense to make yourself feel better.
+TheXdmgx7 unfortunately you seem to be delusional as well. There is a reason why this car won so many awards overall last year and why they're selling for 20-30k over sticker used. The jealousy drips from every one of your comments. Save those pennies. One day you'll be able to buy a real car.
"Purer than a mormon high school"... I went to a mostly mormon highschool, and I'll tell you it was far from pure.
Paaaaantiac
There is no hiding a Michigan accent!
"tossable" followed by an owl.
... this review is an emotional rollacoaster.
Yeah this car is great; it handles perfectly; it is even affordable in some sense. But too bad, you can't buy one.
is this the gay guy from that bad show Modern Family test driving?? Mitchell?
Is this Lars' brother?
Tell us something we don't know.
Eh lifeless review. Stick to writing. Let the Matt Farah's and Chris Harris's of the world review the cars. /Drive circling the drain? I hope not.
Why this editor?
too bad the new TTRS coming is faster 😢
The car they thought Porsche would never build, with a 911 engine. They still slowed it down by fucking up the gearbox, and not letting the engine rev all the way. Porsche, I love you, but it's okay if the 911 isn't the fastest.
Seriously.. Love this car, but gearing and the 8500-9000 rpms is missing. Gt350R I think is still the Victor.
Lars brother?.. ;)
Tired of all these reviews for a car that was sold out before the launch date, just so dealers could mark up "pre-owned" GT4s by 30-40%. It was a great car for MSRP, not for $140k USD.
More on the car sound, less on the music please
Front of the car looks lean n mean, then the rear turned into a total wimp.
+Jimmy H I disagree
who dis?
That red must e a BITCH to color balance in post...
Don't brake into 8
DAHHH Bears.
افضلها اكثر من gt3
no one's said shit about the owl wtf
Who is this joker???
Bring back Chris Harris or just have Farrah review everything!
paint is all swirled up
So skip the $4,000 for the carbon fiber track-appropriate seats, for just exactly what you are shooting this video for - yet save money to have the same seats you'd find in a 1995 Cayman? Gimme a break. Any GT4 outfitted without the carbon fiber seats will be worth FAR LESS in the long run.
balance...spectacular...balance...spectacular...feeling...feeling...blah, blah, blah!
Pontiac? Really?
You cannot buy these cars for $90,000 USED even today. Good luck with that. The GT4 is an instant collectible and whether or not they make the 718 (oh boy, a whole additional 20-25 hp more), it will always be the second modification of this car - thus making the first even more collectible imo. Maybe they won't find a baby to test drive it and complain about "confining racing seats" on a RACE TRACK! Every single racing car seat, worth its salt, is confining for a reason - it is to keep you from moving around which adds safety. You cannot be moving around all over the cockpit, bouncing around in your seat as you take a turn at over 1.2 G's. It will put you into a wall, embankment or other hazard - or die. Get used to the $5000 seats, they can save your life on a track.
Where's the A in Porsche?
www.quora.com/Pronunciation-How-do-you-say-Porsche
As a German I can assure you he is pronouncing it correctly! The 'e' at the end of Porsche is NOT silent. Calling it 'porsh' would be like calling Toyota a 'toyot'
As a Dane I agre with you ;)
+Morten Hansen I speak German and he pronounces Porsche correctly.
Just another waste of time review with more focus on camera angles, music and superlatives than actually reviewing the car... Matt Farah is simply on a different level totally when it comes to reviewing when it comes to relevancy.
If he thinks this is "purer than a Morman high school." and difficult to get in and out of, put this guy in e.g. an Ariel Atom or Radical of any sort or even a Lotus Exige Sport 350 and I guarantee you he will be speechless, not will he come out of it once he is in for all obvious reasons.
A man has no clue about a Cayman GT4
first you diss Pontiac. then you go in on Mormans. your just an offensive dude
This guy just wasn't engaging, for myself at least
