I used my 2007 Porsche Cayman as a daily driver for a couple of months and it was a blast. In this video I will explore the challenges and benefits of using a 987 era Cayman as a daily driver.

Love your cayman videos ! I have been considering buying one for daily use because it has been my dream car since i was a kid and now as a 21 year old i could afford it now that i have a full time job.

Hey, new to your channel and loving your refreshing approach to making videos also they are not constantly interrupted by ads. Shortly I will be looking for a second car and I am seriously looking at a second hand Cayman S... Over the next few months I shall looking around and driving a few. My last sporty car was the Alfa Quadrifoglio, an amazing car but like Bambi on ice in the winter. Keep up the good reviews look forward to the next.

Nice vid. Re the head unit, mine came with a 6 CD stacker in the frunk. I decided to try and fill 6x CDs with 16 tunes each using ONLY tunes I REALLY REALLY like to drive to. Its more challenging than you'd think to make a mix of that many meaningful and good songs that you'll never skip lol.

I have a 2007 Cayman S that I moved from an area that's warm all year and flat to a snowy area. Of course I put winter tires on it and I'm glad to hear you didn't have any problems with your Cayman in the snow. Any other tips about driving in the snow and mountains with the manual Cayman?

Hello all ! Wondered if anyone could help me ! Looking at either getting an Audi TTRS MK2 (2012) Model or a Porshe CAYMAN S (07-09) i have around 25k to spend and im so unsure what to get ! Leaning more to the TTRS due to the fact ive had an S1 for the past 4 years and bloody love it. And i have done some research on the running costs tyres/service ect on the Cayman and its very expensive IMO. However i cant find out as much about the TTRS, Any help or opinions would be amazing ! Also, big question what sounds better in your opinion ! Cheers

To me, the biggest downside, at least for long highway trips, is the tire/road noise. Yeah, you definitely wouldn't want the usual summer tires in ice and snow.

@joelstatosky1817 3 года назад
Its just a great all around car, even if it's your first. It actually has decent storage space (more than I would use). The only thing is, some people think you wanna look "cool" when you just like porsche. Also in the winter if you live in the rust belt, wash it at least a couple of times a month and cover the car when not in use. Also if you are interested in buying a porsche and doing some modifications if you are a dumb teenanger get this porshe not a cheap 911. The cayman is such a great platform as well as the boxster

Winter tires (not snow tires) are legally required in many states and provinces. I didn’t understand how important and what a massive difference winter tires and a manual transmission, make in weather, until I was required to get the tires. Can’t recommend winter tires enough.

@Fee.1 6 лет назад
Kayhan he doesn’t seem to actually respond to people, like at all. I’m not sure to what degree he takes RU-vid seriously/as a priority or potentially just got a lot of hate or something and said screw it im not paying attention to them at all, which wouldn’t be surprising on RU-vid given some people on here. Then again some people that make videos are excessively sensitive and take everything as “hate”. My criticism of his lack of participation in the comments section is just that, criticism, nothing more. He doesn’t strike me as the super sensitive type though so guessing he just ain’t into interacting with viewers.
@Mechonomist
@Mechonomist 6 лет назад
Fee Nicks I wish I could be more responsive but I have a lot going on these days so I respond when I have time, and typically only to the first few days/weeks of comments on a given video. But yeah if the comment section gets too negative I just ignore it. I love RU-vid but it’s mostly for the fun of it so I try to stick to the parts of it that are enjoyable. Unfortunately that means it’s not worth my time to sift through the bad stuff to find the good. Thanks for watching!
@Mechonomist
@Mechonomist 6 лет назад
As a daily driver, definitely a Cayman. As a purely weekend car, not sure! I’d have to drive an Elise and get back to you.
@Fee.1
@Fee.1 6 лет назад
Mechonomist be liberal with the block button and I think you can even filter out certain words from ever showing to you in your comments (derogatory/hateful stuff for example). I know lots of people who’ve found it to be much more tolerable/enjoyable without the children and man children, I just got into it with someone on your base cayman video who wound up telling me “real Porsche purists would understand the 911 has to/should be the higher performer and maybe I should go buy a high horsepower American car like a corvette if I want a higher hp cayman, at least I could afford a corvette since I clearly don’t have 911 money”. He truly didn’t see the hypocrisy or that he’d just become the guy who tells cayman owners to go buy a mustang if they want to add power to their cayman. Anyhow I get it 100%. At least until/unless youtube can replace a job for you, your priorities as they are are clearly properly arranged.

The unstated truth- using your dedicated 'sports car' as a daily driver is a bummer. Whatever issues is has get magnified because- you HAVE to use it. I did it with my 2008 Mazda RX-8 Anniv. Edition- almost a true DD, but, when it's the only choice- bummer. An undeniably AWESOME car, and,- it does so many things very well, but, HAVING to use it in snow, rain, heavy weekend traffic... not as much fun.

Hi from Europe, Germany. Im shocked to learn that ANYONE would drive in snow conditions with summer tires. In Germany, if you have an accident in winter conditions and your car was not equipped with winter tires, you can (and will) be legally pursued for manslaughter should you cause a fatality in an accident.
@1theblacksheep
@1theblacksheep 3 года назад
I lived 2 years in Canada, and it is like the same, In Canada, there is snow like crazy everywhere, and there is not a single law that obligates people to use snow tires, so basically, many drivers use all-season tires even being super dangerous.
