All the Problems my Porsche Cayman has after 85k Miles 

jstuttgart 😂😂😂

Right! I'm kinda impressed haha

headliner sucks tho....I thought just Ford/Chevy did that crap.

Haha haha, mien Got in Himmel!

🤣🤣🤣

I have used golden thumb pins on my Jag XF ... looks pretty cool

I found some screw in buttons on Amazon! They work well and no one has even noticed!

Sagging headliner.

@@cadriver2570 meh

@@infinitex3731 Meh till you see how much it is to fix. This should not happen.

@@vetman548 oh course it happens this isn’t a new car little fault happen all the time and it’s not expensive to fix

Cut very small hole spray adhesive in hole and push head liner up

Both the blinker fluid and muffler bearings can be remedied with some elbow grease.

Chris lmao

LMAO! There is a very specific size and weight to beverage containers?! Did.....did anyone tell Porsche? I'm not going to be the one. Can you imagine what this guys like if he ever has an overdue library book? Yes, dude, beverage containers. Thats the secret path to a womans heart. Beverage containers. The most amazing stupendous mystical invention. Brought to you by the guys who lost the war.

I have to keep going to gas stations to get more gas in my car. The dealership didn't tell me I'd have to replace the gas all the time. I think it's vaporizing and leaking out the pipes in the back. I'm thinking of stuffing some tennis balls in them.

Chris how do change the blinker fluid? Hehe.

Wesley Gonzales I have an 07 and literally the same. Headliner and bumper when I bought the car, just left the bumper cause it's not really noticeable, hood support. The only real issue I had was the oil separator failed, but with normal maintenance I've had no issues

That windshield is actually pretty cheap my girlfriend's Lexus windshield costs like 1700 bucks. I refuse to drive her car.

Agreed, aside from the headliner everything else is pretty much an easy fix or neglected by the owner. I mean really who buys a Cayman and states that the cargo compartments are too small?? Then he buys the gas cap and doesn't reattach it after losing it in the first place??I want my 3 minutes back!!

Well, we took a risk and lost. I'll put my minutes on another RU-vidr...

He's a cheap ass. That's why it doesn't add up

His age tells the story but he is learning about life. Like don’t street park your Porsche and not expect damage. Like wipers are maintenance items on every car and if you set your gas cap somewhere you will lose it. It’s why they made the dongle in the first place. You need to maintain your car. Don’t let things go, it’s how nice cars turn to garbage with headliners sagging, gas caps disappearing, wipers not working, battery in key dying... He will learn. The review is mostly spectacular for Porsche had he known that most of these issues are his neglect.

The Runs As anybody with a normal brain would imagine, there is absolutely no indication to replace the bumper. It’s just paint.

I agree 100%. But unless I miss-heard him, he said it was to "replace". If that is true, then $900 is a good price. EDIT: Yep at around 2:40 when he's talking about the quote, he says "replace". Turned on captions too just to double check. Captions also say "replace". As said, I agree with you. surely it just needs repainting. But as a quote for "replacement", $900 seems very reasonable for an OEM Porsche part.

The Runs Ok. I see what you mean. U are right. I agree with you, although In my opinion I would not go OEM for a bumper cover. A non-OEM cover would run around $250 for the part and maybe $another $250 or 300 for the paint. It’s like a $600 fix in my books if the bumper cover needs replace. It’s just my opinion (did this for a living for a short while in the past)

If you leave the bumper as is, it’s an OEM part and they call it patina: good for you. If you repaint it, you’ll feel better: also good for you. If you replace it with an aftermarket bumper, it’s a Toyota: not good for you. Don’t do that.

Ray from Canada lol. Ray you are officially out of your mind. Or out of your meds or something. That was funny tho. Thanks for your reply.

yup! i was thinking same! but i looking a video bettewn a 911 and this, i try both, but i need more opinions.

How was this video at all helpful? This was the most painful video I've ever watched. A scratch on your bumper really has nothing to do with the car. Having worn seats after a decade also isn't helpful. This was all obvious things yoi would expect to have from driving a car.

@@brandonhaynes555 fr

Brian Schoedel thank you bro don’t buy a car you can’t fix 😂🤣😂

What about gluing headliner down every year

FActs, he's going to dump it at 100k LOL

*looks at the wipers that have been on his car since he bought it 5 and a half years ago* Ope.

Porsche is like the polar opposite of Merc, whose cars look super dated after 5 years

except the w124 series

I agree. Still the most beautiful Cayman.

Not very good looking and the engine is not as powerful as the 911 models.

CastrejonHDTV no shit it was almost half the price of a 911 when it was new.

everything he mentioned was cosmetic...

I agree 100%. I see cars like this on a daily basis at the shop. It absolutely blows me away that someone wouldn't fix these minor issues... especially that headliner. That would drive me nuts! If you can afford to buy and drive the car, don't let something like that go.. it just makes the car look trashy as hell.

Agree, this guy cries about things wearing out........how about you take care and maintain it fool

Has anybody noticed how dirty his dash is ? whan he shows the cupholders

This is so hard to watch after coming from Tavarish's channel lmaoooo

Re: Headliner Porsche will not sell just the liner material. If you want the original look and material, Porsche will only sell you a new liner attached to a headliner shell at the not so attractive price of ~$1400. I found several auto upholstery shops in the Atlanta area who had liner material of a similar[not exact] color and texture and charged ~$400 to replace. Once the original liner begins to sag, the liner material is not salvageable[the liner shell is] according to 4 upholstery shops I visited and/or called.

Yeah, I think anything would better than a sagging headliner. As for the hazard switch, or any switch, something like DeOxit would be much better than WD40. I use it on musical instruments and it works well. Also, if the bumper has a small tear(s), can heat be used for repair? Most of us wouldn't bother with anything more than touch up paint, but to each his own.

nice!

But then you hang it on the door and over hundreds of fillups it scratches the paint on the door

no, on the inside of the filler door, is a bracket that it slots into, same on nearly every car, likely on yours as well

Exactly. there's like a small rack for the fuel cap

Why is it that no one ever figures this out? I see people just let it hang all the time at gas stations when there is a place to put it on the fuel filler door. I just don't get it.

The Cayman, at least this generation, didn't have the cap holder bracket in the door. It's one of the things that always bugged me about mine since I was used to it on my Tacoma.

How can you say "Maybe the headliner is an issue". Mabye? It's Porsche's fault it fell down. Give blame where it's due.

mac daddy Totaly agree.... basic design and assembly fail..... embarrassing...

'Quirks' my friend are PROBLEMS. There's no other name for it.

To expand on dhgoodall's comment. When you open the gas door, there is a hole a part of the gas door that juts out. The gas cap has a small cone on it that fits in the hole. That's where you put the cap while filling so it doesn't dangle and bang up against the paint.

You can put jump leads from another car on the fuse for the front lid, in the fuse box under the steering wheel. Then just press the button and the bonnet will open.

No parking in the sun huh... And how exactly, do you imagine that, in an everyday car, in Texas of all the places?

Martin Tähtvere well he said “chairs” and “balm” so maybe he’s referring to not sitting in the sun vs not parking in the sun. Bad sunburn. Don’t do that.

Good video, I’ve been thinking about one of these (2008 or later), besides the headliner issue not bad stuff...

put up a garden tent after you par k it :D

"in Texas of all the places?" Park it under your stetson, stoopid!

Pleumel, I currently own an '08 MX-5 GT PRHT. I'm thinking of getting an '08 Cayman base. I've had 4 different S2000s and miss them but their prices are getting ridiculous. I can own a Cayman for less money.

That would be amazing! In Germany you could count about 15-20.000€ (~17-23.000 USD) for a cayman. The S2000 is rare here but it's about 10-12.000€

Sometime you gotta buy with ur heart than the mind!

cause happinest

I can afford a porsche and own 2 but can't stand Bullshit mechanics, I will drive it until it dies and then do it all over again, these are cheap cars, no point throwing good money after bad, some people just don't care that much

because he loves the car ? besides why do you care ?

thats a horrible idea. you’ll end up being even more broke blowing wads of cash on a car, and thats not a fun place to be once the new car smell wears off. careful man, thats crazy ass talk.

Agree

Car Fanatic He doesnt realize the gas cap has a hook for it on the door, so I'd say it's doubtful.

Car Fanatic I believe he doesn’t know. He’s plainly talking about his stupidity. He should have not buy such car if he cannot afford to fix it.

Nik Gnashers I wholeheartedly agree. I couldn’t bear watching this through to end; this bloke is clearly a twerp.

Thanks Paul !

The guy wasn't complaining. He was simply sharing his experience with the car. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?

He was complaining, whining about things which happen to us all...This is youtube comments section, I can voice my opinion as much as I want, it's called free speech...I'm not being nasty or rude, just pointing out the truth...Did you get out of the wrong side of bed ?

The headliner issue sucks, and it's going to suck when you finally decide to fix it. DIY is going to be a long, messy, frustrating process. Having a professional do it will most likely be an expensive issue. Obviously the bumper issue isn't great, but you can just replace it with a new, updated, better looking (I would go more aggressive imo) bumper. With the key, change the battery. As for the cup holder and trunk space/trunk layout.... Stop complaining. Lol. I have a 2001 Porsche 911, with no cup holders and only the front trunk. I have back seats which are a blessing as I can drive it with my two little girls in the back. Yes, children fit perfectly even with car seats. No, adults don't really fit unless they are shorter then a 12 year old. Putting anything behind those seats and then trying to remove it is pointless. So I have a bass tube (not used when daughters are in the car) with my upgraded stereo system to add a little thump to my music. I love the hatchback of the Cayman. It would be so useful in a 911. It would be great to lift up the hatchback and have a panel in the back to get to the front of the engine. When I first got my car I took care of all the 996 issues, including the plastic chain rail guides, IMS bearing, rear main seal, air/oilseperator, anything else that needed/would need to be replaced, basically had the engine rebuilt without having to fully rebuild it. My mechanic then made the timing more aggressive with astrong advance curve and tuned it up (he used to work for a race team/shop and most cars were Porsche track cars). Which helped with both part-throttle and WOT acceleration. Side note, most car engines have one timing chain. Mine..... five. Things like this are why most mechanics won't/shouldn't work on your Porsche. Best thing I ever did. So much cheaper to eliminate the potential problems then have to fix them once they hit. The car runs and sounds so much better, and seems faster (only butt dyno tested). You now need to started upgrading/modifying that car for better performance, sound, and looks. Start with lowering that thing and add spacers so the tired are flush with the body. Those two thing alone will make your car look even more sporty and aggressive. It really does change the look/stance of your car. Next, change out the exhaust and add a cold air intake. It should add a little horsepower, and will make it sound amazing. Best two mods you can do and they are fairly easy and inexpensive to do yourself. Love your car. Good luck with all the fixes needing to be done.

So true! And only speaking from experience.

the hanging headliner is the only real issue of his car, Have you experience the same in your Porsche​?

Hi (Happy New Year to all 👍😀) my Porsche has had no problems except one. I had to have a software update for the PCM reloaded. I had a loan of a Boxter 718S with PDK for 1 week. By the end of the week I discovered I loved it. The phrase that comes to mind is "The sum of the whole is greater than the parts alone".

Its not a problem with car itself but with the glue/foam. Extreme temperature over the years can really kill any kind of glue that is not specifically desigened to withstand such temperature or temperature changes. Normally this should not happen and to be honest this was the first time i have seen such an incident. I guess when you do not live in the dessert or the arctic the odds are pretty good that something like this should not happen in the first 10-15 years.

this happens in ANY car- i have had it occur in 3 different cars from 3 different manufacturers has nothing to do with Porsche

my favorite was the plenty of luggage room, but this hump(you know, where the engine is) is annoying, cause I can't put a suitcase there. you bought a Porsche(pronounced:poor-sha not poorsh), if you need luggage room buy an SUV?I could go on all day, but, no helping this guy. wish I knew him for when he needs a mechanic, or when it has an issue he doesn't want to pay for and I could buy the car for $10 from him.

ay735 dude u should done spark plug and coils by ur self save $600 and i did mine and bought Bosch plugs and beru coils from pelican parts and it was only $300 bucks and dealer want $680 for all that and I did it myself on 911 and even they hard to change but its even easier on Cayman

I was lucky that the dealer I bought it from did all the service work that needed to be done before I bought it. Where did you get your headliner done?

It was done at a local shop that is half upholstery/customization and half audio installation, you get the picture. They were able to do a 10/10 job once I brought in the headliner I had taken off myself. The shop will know to use a material that has a bit of elasticity to fit into the contours nicely.

Replacing the spark plugs on a Cayman is fairly easy. I replaced mine with Borsch plugs and high performance yellow coils for $240. There is a bunch of youtube videos on how to do it. A porsche dealer near me wanted $1850 for it.

How's your car been for the last four years? I'd like to buy one at retirement, until then it's a 2008 Miata and a Corolla.

This video illustrates how cars make the transition from showroom-shiny to beaten-up scrap destined for the junkyard.

Ah geez, give the kid a break. He’s enjoying the car and not obsessing over it and throwing good money after bad.

Cosmetic maintenance aint gonna kill the car.

Comments like this is why Porsche bmw, etc owners are seen as snobs. Just as annoying as ricers but in a different way.

@@BittyVids You're absolutely right. The only thing is, most of the negative commenters on here are most likely driving 30 year old junkers and will never own anything this nice. This kid drives this car everyday. It's his primary transportation. He bought it used and he lives where it snows. He is a proper Porsche owner. His car does not set in the garage until Sunday mornings under a car cover then taken out, if the weather is perfect, for a 1 hour drive and brought home again..

Jonathan Pillows are all of those 200k miles his own? He must have maintained it well.

AOS is a wear part. They do only last around 50k miles before needing replaced

Thomas Headley - I disagree. Run em hard. They are bullet proof.

Thomas Headley - well, I guess I'm not talking about drag racing just giving it a good workout.

I'll take that GT3 off your hands if you don't want it...

They obviously don't want people drinking with open containers in their cars. Lol

Cup holders are an American thing. The Germans and most Europeans scoff at the idea.

That's actually a pretty good price for the miles. You missed out. It's a great car.

My panel beater could fix the bumper for 70 bucks.

Have you replaced the tire monitoring system sensors? I have an '07 Cayman and found Costco to have the best price at $525 for the 4 installed.

Scott Smith mine does not have TPMS actually. It was an option in 2006. I found TPMS sensors on Tire Rack for my Mercedes for under$60 each.

Dapdoi - gfu (just using your "Economical" style of writing)

Dapdoi - you did what?

Dadoi - could you repeat that? Could you be more............ specific?

Dapdoi - I knew you be back for more. Bizarre out-loud sexual fantasies......sexual frustration and anger is what it sounds like. Perhaps you'll enjoy prizzon...........esp the shower room.

Dapdog Are you a 13 year old? did mummy leave you unattended at the computer?? Or was that a reward by uncle Jim-Bob, and did he let you surf on the big internet if you keep your mouth shut about that little incident with his pecker and your tonsils?

Alex I'll drive you in the pacific and get the insurance money.

Why be jealous?

I did that!! Not quite the Pacific but some other large body of water. It all worked out to my advantage :)

Mmm Mmm yeah yeah

Promote insurance fraud...there you go! Really smart. Who do you think pays when people commit fraud? We do!
