The 2020 Porsche Boxster GTS 4.0 fixes the convertible's biggest problem - the clattery four-pot engine. It now gets the 4.0-litre six-cylinder from the 718 GT4 and Spyder - but does it turn the Boxster into the sports car it always should've been? Join me for a quick review in which I try not to get too excited. Stay tuned for more car reviews coming very soon.

I dont think your channel name is descriptive enough of what you do

After coming from the DriveTribe podcast, very enjoying watching and listening to you Tim, keep up the good work!

I'm not sure I used the word magnificent enough

@johnanthony8865 3 года назад

Tim, I’d like to say that this has to be one of the best “first” RU-vid videos that I’ve ever seen. Great work and please keep it up.

@TimRodieDrivesStuff 3 года назад

Thanks John, appreciate it! It feels like a lifetime ago now… it made some people on the Pistonheads forum very angry because it wasn't boring or serious enough

Great review and good to see the normally aspirated 6 cylinder engine back. You’ve got to admire Porsche for. Going back to na and manual gt3

@TimRodieDrivesStuff 3 года назад

Gareth Howells yeah, it was brave to admit they were wrong with the four cylinder. They’re back on form!

I have a Cayman GTS 2.5 4pot and am not dissatisfied as a daily. It replaced a Cayman 981 GTS, which I also loved. It sounded amazing but was otherwise less good in a lot of ways.

@nafnaf0 3 года назад

This is good to know. I would still go for the GTS 4.0 from the current lot

Great video. FYI, noticed you're probably using a suction cup camera mount. If you want to capture the best footage angle I use the RoadSpy RS1 on my Cayman. Way way better than those suction cups.

Great video Tim.nice to see a new car reviewer out there . Don't why there's always one who has to dislike so early on . Haters hate...keep it up 👍

@TimRodieDrivesStuff 4 года назад

Thanks man - I think there are some die-hard Porsche fans who don't like me bad-mouthing its… gear ratios? This world is a funny old place

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff yeh I find any video I make that mentions me disliking something always ends up with loads of dislikes. Screw em it's a great video!

@pedrostevens 4 года назад

Great video - surprised you didn't complain about the lack of a manual handbrake though…

@TimRodieDrivesStuff 4 года назад

I was a bit weirded out - it's the first manual RHD car I've driven in 2020… and I've driven quite a lot of cars this year

@DontPanicDear 3 года назад

Now have one of these at home, but ignored you and made it another Cayman (6sp of course)🤓 Black with gold wheels this time 😃 Living the dream in Dorking 👍🏻

Is this GTS more fun than a 911 992….I’m torn. Thoughts?

@miutzyh 4 года назад

What's the electric whining sound? Such as at 3:11

@TimRodieDrivesStuff 4 года назад

I'm not sure - it could well be something in the car interfering with my mic pack. I've had interference from Audi indicators, of all things

Is the pdk gearbox on the way??

@TimRodieDrivesStuff 4 года назад

Yes - later this year I think

@michaelsalter2473 4 года назад

Mehdi Fasih when I signed off the order on my Cayman a couple of weeks ago I asked and my dealer felt they won’t come through in the UK till later in 2021. He only had 2 build slots this year for a Cayman GTS and didn’t expect many more in 2021.

Ordered Cayman GTS 4.0 on 17th Jan - any day now....!!!!

@TimRodieDrivesStuff 4 года назад

Oh you lucky, lucky man. What colour? I forgot to say in the video review - I drove the 718 Spyder last year, and this is 99% as good. And a lot more comfy…

@mrjmr5985 4 года назад

Same here I ordered on the 16th of January as soon as it was announced, last update I had was my car is in Emden so hopefully on the next boat to Grimsby, where are you collecting yours from?

@TiexinGuo 4 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it - give it a few years and you'll only have to find £50k 😂

@TiexinGuo 4 года назад

Yeah you should get a Cayman indeed. Why British people like convertibles? Cause it never rains in England I guess.
