Marcus drives a 2007 Porsche Cayman only to discover the vast differences as well as similarities between this mid-engined masterpiece and his 1994 Toyota MR2. This Porsche Cayman has a 2.7L flat-6 powering the rear wheels with an unrelenting amount of grip. It's a balanced, fun, and affordable sports car that offers so much more than just good looks. Enjoy!

Only while driving Porsche you understand why this car cost so much.. Great review mate!

@kennethsev7243 8 лет назад

This one is for sale.

@scoolzdevries 7 лет назад

04dram04 - I bought a Cayman S 4 years ago. It's excellent. Did the computer ECU deal, Borla exhaust and an IPD plenum. It's possibly running 325hp but I don't know for sure. It's plenty fast and sounds great. If you get one, at least do the Borla exhaust. They sound kind of weak without it to be honest.

Hey I know you guys like older tuned cars. However I have a 2016 /M235i you guys should review. They call it the new E46 ///M3. Its a BRILLIANT little car. Let me know.

@carsaregood911 8 лет назад

The M2 is the "new" E46 M3, if that. No current BMW drives like that glorious E46 M3 does

I like that you don't forget what got you this far (tuners) but are also able to give muscle car fans some great material. Keep it up!!

@RoadsUntraveled 8 лет назад

@Jwdude123 3 года назад

Yeah he tried really hard. Bottom line: the 987 cayman is a masterpiece. You need the manual transmission tho.

@zekestinks 2 года назад

Five years after your video the old man with the figure stands up to time. Jealousy will get you no where! I've been blessed to find Porsche, the greatest sports car company or all time, and the Cayman rivals the 911's I've owned, though they are different beasts with there own nuances and pleasures. Cheers.

@winghangshih9097 6 лет назад

It is so funny that everyone is talking about the IMS but not the fact that only small amount of Porsche have that problem. I bet they don't even own one. I drove my 2006 987 boxster for 5 years with 113k in it. Still running like a champ lol

@krisrhebergen 6 лет назад

Yes but you still should probably replace it as preventive maintenance because they go with no warning and its to late if it goes.

@1cbsmithsanjuan 5 лет назад

Wing Hang Shih, I wouldn’t go skydiving if a “small amount” of parachutes didn’t open. Believe me, you’ll want to jump out of a plane without a parachute if the IMS bearing grenades your motor. IMHO, IMS upgrade is worth it for peace of mind....if driving a manual, just do it when replacing the clutch.

@charleslu7044 4 года назад

Wing Hang Shih, 05 987 BS here with 144,000 miles driven. My IMS can only be replaced by either pulling the motor or milling out the crank case and pulling out the bearing. Fortunately my single row bearing is much more robust than the previous single row but the earlier double row suffered almost no failures. The first single row bearing is where most failures occurred about 8%.

@DOHCCordia 3 года назад

2007 2.7 987 are pretty safe as far as IMS goes. Muchless of an issue on this car.

@chriskilgore2521 Год назад

149k on my 06 CS. Hands down best car I have ever owned. Almost nothing has been problematic, and compared to the Corvette, BMW M cars, S2000 and AMG I owned prior to this (they were all great cars), this is THE CAR. I am always thrilled at any excuse to drive it.

Manual Gen 2 Cayman 2.9 here.. Love the car to bits. My first job was at Toyota in the very early nineties I drove almost new mk1 and brand new mk2 Mr2's in the Uk. I owned an imported GTS 2.0 Turbo in 2011 .. And as great as they are they will never be on the same level as a Porsche Cayman, although just as quick to 60

@elbabo4522 7 лет назад

*A stock cayman doesn't have a clear cover through the engine bay.*

@7royboy 6 лет назад

Kronix for real! they should have come that way from the factory for sure tho!

@1TB0T 5 лет назад

Correct. Also the stock engine is boring dull black. So you have 3 jobs to do. 1) Engine bay detail 2) Painting of top engine IPD plenum parts with heat resistant paint, accenting the PORSCHE lettering carefully in a contrasting colour. 3) Installation of after market clear engine cover. Will I be doing all of the above to my Cayman S? HECK YES!

@augustortiz 7 лет назад

HamburgerJung cayman s is the better car, but you cant go wrong with either.

@ChowmutLe 7 лет назад

Nice. I ended up getting the 987 purely b/c finding a 911 targa 996 in the black/tan interior was impossible... but man in love w/ the Cayman S. I might change to a shorter shifter but aside from that, the car is literally a perfect daily driver.

@Mike-jk8hj 7 лет назад

Only a small percentage of 996's experienced/are destined for IMS failure. I think something like 2-3% of them. Good thing is, you can replace the IMS with a ceramic one. You can have it done for around 1 grand, it's worth the peace of mind in my opinion.

@Swindy1794 6 лет назад

IMS .... I like to call it the Porsche boogie monster! .... please... I may have changed when I hit about 80,000 miles currently I am at 50 K... or if I have a new clutch put in.

@krisrhebergen 6 лет назад

Changing it at the same time as the clutch is probably your best bet.

@DOHCCordia 3 года назад

Wife traded her perfect BRZ for a 07 Cayman 2.7. And its a fun car. Can definitely make a bad to average driver look much better. And the sound even with the factory exhaust above 3500 sounds so much better than that BRZ. A simple touch screen headunit does a lot to help with the age of the interior. It could use more power at times. But even with having a turbo mustang that cayman still makes me smile.

6:30 It's funny you think and feel about a Porsche this way. Ferry Porsche son of the founder Porsche and creator of the first sportscar Porsche made, the 356 once said about what made him building cars 'Am Anfang schaute ich mich, konnte aber den Wagen, von dem ich träumte, nicht finden. Also beschloss ich, ihn mir selbst zu bauen' So basically he looked around and coudn't find the car of his dreams so he built it himself. A well engineered and efficient sports car. So you pretty much hit the essence of a Porsche!
