...mentions "tighten to 35-Ft-Lbs",...then proceeds to 'strong-arm the oil pan plug"! SMH Why not add the amount of oil based on the required capacity to be added when oil and oil filter is changed! I'm sure it's in the Owner's Manual. You save money,...no doubt, but a sloppy job! Edit: I gave a "Like" for the effort!
Good video but It would be great if you edited in some personal experience of reliability of the car during this 5 years. Have you had any issues? have you had to replace any parts?
As long as the brakes do the job, they are good......unnecessarily bigger brakes equals more weight so would be detrimental. I think I would maybe want to compare the EPS vs past gen Boxster hydraulic steering and see which is better....if the EPS has less road feel, that would be my gripe (would be the same for many brands!).
Just sold my 2019 with M sport and track handling package. One of the best daily drivers I’ve owned. Thanks for sharing your experience. Enjoy the car!
"If you drive hard your palm might hit the paddle shift".. My elbow also accidently hits my gear knob on my cheap peugeot when I drive it hard. I feel u.
I owned the original Boxster back in 1998. Great driving car but back then I suggested that the back wndow should be real glass (not plastic), the soft top should be red for red interior, and the side air intakes should be bigger and lower like a jet fighter. People scoffed at me. Look at it now!
Sports Steering wheels 100%. The rest mmmm,,, far too fussy,,, just enjoy. I have same 20 inch wheels. My PASM gives me 10mm lower but looks like yours tbh. Standard is 18 inch.
Ride hight is just fine, why meddle with what the engineers at porsche designed. It’s a beautiful looking car which which i’m sure you appreciate but don’t ruin the authenticity Updating the steering wheel as mentioned would be a sensible, the rest is more you over worrying, relax and enjoy 👍 Oh but do get on with cleaning the leather, it should be a matt finish, the sheen is grease and oils from use. A good leather cleaner or dilute apc will bring that back to factory
@@Mikemasar i wouldnt say money on a base model is a waste, there are many dimensions to the driving experience that all porsche cars offer, we need to learn to appreciate them all
There is an obsession with the S mainly across the pond, I have driven both base and S back to back and the way you are driving this particular car there will be no noticeable difference if you had an S or base, this applies to most average drivers under normal driving conditions. The S is easier to drive due to the larger torque band, if you are intending to track the car then S is recommendable, if just for bragging rights then you just wasting your money. Just my own experience of both cars, what was more substantial was the manual gearbox over a PDK.
If you’re lowering the car, consider adding some spacers too, to push the wheels out a touch. Make sure to get the suspension geometry checked/reset afterwards. Your angles will be all out! Loving the silver/burgundy combo!
The oil filter housing is a reservoir so even with a drain of the oil it is going to be full of oil!!! Changing oil and filters is ALWAYS messy! Best you put plenty of stuff down to catch the residue! Then you have the problem of cleaning the oil pan and surrounding areas to prevent oil stink burn off!!!! Good luck!!!
Apart from the fact that you've just disabled your alarm sound, which just why would anybody ever do that? What you've just done is disable a warning feature that's built in to the car. The car is double beeping for a reason, and it's not just to be annoying. There is a fault with your car that needs diagnosing and fixing rather than just disabling the honk. Also if anybody is getting a single horn beep when locking, that is also a warning sound that means you need to go back to the car and take action. It happens when several things in the car aren't locked properly, such as the doors, the glove box, the arm rest lid or boot/bonnet lids. Search "Why does my Porsche BEEP when I lock it?" on youtube. Bottom line is you should not be doing what is being shown in this video, you should be getting the underlying problem fixed. It's not normal for the cars to be making this sound, it's a warning sound not just the normal lock sound of the car.
Those rocker buttons are absolutely horrendous, it’s not impossible as you can get used to it but when I was looking for a 981, those buttons were number one Passover, the single oval exhaust came second, 18 inches wheels are too small for the wheel arches and not having heated seats. The brake callipers are big when compared to my previous 987.2 Cayman base that came with smaller brakes to the S variants.
