[MyNextDaily] Porsche 718 Cayman S Test Drive 

OOOOOH, I HAVE OWNED A PORSCHE CONTINUALLY...

What a stellar comment, well done sir. You certainly know how to live.

yes I saw that video, good one

Roger Bailey

Roger Bailey How do you deal with the sound, it's not even passable it's just bad when you get going.

Sounds like a bag of shit.

Federico Grosso errr listen to the thing maybe your ears will bleed

People get so caught up in the engine, the fact its 4cyl not 6, but they miss that its a much better car than the 981 in every other way

Seen Through Glass you should ignore the hate and get it

You guys seriously underestimate this car. Its beautiful and sound is not everything.

Just sold mine yesterday, genuinely saddest moment of my life watching it drive away. Best car I've owned by a country mile, the sound is FAR better in person. Videos don't convey the true tone. Plus the power is far more usable than the 981 (driven a few of them).

Same, it took me by complete surprise

I concur.

I didnt really like the 718... Till I saw the video. It´s just a proper Porsche. But a little smaller!!

I think I don't have the same definition of daily :) Try to take your girlfriend on a few days vacation with this car or go to the store and buy something that is bigger than a handbag ^^. It sure is a nice car, but as a true daily, something like a Golf R is way way more practical (or the Leon Cupra which is quite cheap, so more budget for the 360)

eddiefara yes u right mate

also looks better, handles better and probably is not going to break down in 1000 miles

driving pleasure is not always about speed, you can get from point A-B quicker but i would rather get there later with a bigger smile on my face and a more memorable experience.

Abdullah Adebayo I’d rather get there without breaking down.

His Ferrari is called the Poor mans ferrari for a reason it’s also 15 years old

They are different cars and I get the passion for Ferrari, older or newer. But I’d just drop the Ferrari and get the Cayman GTS... it’s all the sports car anyone needs.

I feel like you could be right

SQ5 is good as well*

Vlad Patru agree

I did the same, epic car at base level

Do you drive it spiritedly or only as a daily? I had the same dilemma as you. I first started at a 718 base, then 718 S with all performance options, and eventually 981GTS. the sound and emotions of ripping through the backroads just demolished the 718s. 718 was more capable, but I simply found no reason to push it as far as the 981. There's just not much emotions. If you are daily driving and pretty much nothing else, then none of this matters anyways and the 718 base is a great choice over any other options in the market!

Thanks!

terrortorn looks like a character from the board game "guess who." I find him extremely irritating!!!

Yeah, handling wise I'm sure this is way better than it. Best to go for the SQ5.

Well he probably will also use the next daily for some long trips, therefore performance car makes some sense because when he finds some nice mountain roads in South France or Switzerland, or German Autobahn, he can still hoon it. I'm not sure how much fun he would get driving an SQ5 on those roads. With that said I'm not sure if it has to be *this* sporty. He himself said this is less about which car he likes the best. But more about which car is the most usable for his purposes.

If financial considerations are whats important, no one should ever buy a Porsche. Stick with a Honda .

Sorry, we're not all as rich as you to disregard all financial considerations.

Completely agree 🙌🏻

Scott Clark you think people with money just disregard sensible consideration for their finances once they can afford a nice car?

Yeah the GTS is a perfect buy right now.

Randy Lim No

Apparently the TechArt system is quite decent but lets wait and see what happens

Seen Through Glass Already looking up aftermarket options for it? No point in looking at any other cars so.

if upgrading the exhaust may as well put a proper engine in too...

Check out the armytrix

Thomas Semeniuk u right

Ashwin Krishnan quite possibly yes!

Ashwin Krishnan definitely, this does 0-62 in 3.6 secs and is crazy around corners and has a much better torque range

Maybe the Fiat looses to much value?

Because the 360 is the Ferrari I want :)

betaich it will have already lost the bulk of It’s depreciation, keeping it and using whatever budget is available to source a better Ferrari makes more sense to me

Seen Through Glass fair enough, they’re a bit old hat now but if it’s really what you want, enjoy 😊

Seen Through Glass I don't understand though, since you love the abarth so so much, why get rid of it? It would save you some money for those inevitable ferrari maintenence fees ;)

The spec of this car is fantastic

I agree :)

Is that Chalk?

The paint colour is called ‘Crayon’. Big fan.

It does look gorgeous.

G'day M8 i was thinking the same thing. i like both really, although i know their both way different but the same 2 seat mid-engine layout and rear wheel drive. to my eyes its like a refined "luxury edition " if you will, 4c. Except with a porsche badge.

Stef Otten Those wheels are amazing

kraenk12 0Y and I am a woman in my heart ❤️ is my wife I know she was my friend I am the daughter I know I

IceFIsh Ugly Af

YESSS!!!! SAM should *definitely* get the new A110. It is the only car that surpasses the Abarth and 4C in terms of speciality, rarity, and uniqueness.

100%, the only pb is that the A110 isn't on production yet, unless he pre-ordered one month ago

LOOK NO BRAKES whaha never.

Jort Rinket You obviously haven't heard one then.

I dont know why I would regret 4 cylinders though ... my Abarth is 4 cylinders haha. I can understand going from 981 GTS to 718 you might feel deflated, but for my first Porsche, the 718 feels so complete

I have a Cayman S 981. It sounds amazing. You're right, the 718s are 'better' cars but don't underestimate that sweet sound of the 6 cylinder! I wouldn't trade it for a 718 in a million years!

Dylzhaar I drove the 718S for 2 days and I bought the 981 Gts, the sound of the engine and the interiors in carbon/full leather/alcantara are simply umbeliavable

I Think he means the new 718 gts

?????? so why doesn't the theory apply for 718s? there is going to be a 718 GT4 as well.... or a 718 GTS. are you high? 718 GT4 is likely going to be 6 cylinder NA, and maybe even slower than a 718 GTS. but GT cars aren't always about speed, its about being a true driver's car with emotions and personality. Both of which the 718 lacks in great details. Driving a 981GTS does not make you feel inadequate as fuck. It only makes you feel "thank god I got this car before it stopped production". You must be new to the Porsche world. Half the time its not about the new Porsches, but about keeping the old Porsches (hint, 930. 964, etc. look how old they are yet how desired they are, people like you back then made the argument that "water cooled is simply better and more capable", and guess what, the air cooled stayed as legends and highly thought after cars.)

Except it misses a cilinder. Tt rs sounds better lol

LOL

But it's Slower, Less practical and has a miserable sound in comparison

chriskey99 yes the 5 cylinder sound better

ALAND Steven the cayman does have better handling but I just think the RS is a better overall package

Rafiq Ahmed right here !!

izaac price Why get a lesser car?

Lukestersim :3 NA v6

eddie flat 6 not v6 🤗😉

Ooh Jay78 yes my mistake!

Ooh Jay78 also not a 3.0. It’s 3.4

4 cyl turbo made Porshe lost their soul in those entry level cars.

Only drones if you keep it on Sport mode. Never had any issues with drone on highways personally

it didnt matter in the 718s i testdrove. maybe it was because of the PSE. valve closed or open, in normal, sport or sport plus. always had that drone noise around 2000-2200rpm

headbud987 but its a daily if he wants a nice engine sound, he can drive his 360

Luís Aguiar well Porsche has made 4 cylinders in the past so I don't know if we can talk about Porsche "loosing their soul". Four cylinders are part of their history

Disgusting and generic

M2 in general!

I know it's trash I don't even know why I said that, I hate BMWs

Yeezy Yeezy bmws are the best, wtf?

Yeezy Yeezy dude no don't say that

Le Billet Auto (LBA TV) bruh the ford gt costs 500k and it has only a 6 cylinder, its sad but its true, engines are going to get smaller and smaller by the next years

Agreed. Honestly Porsche really hurt this car with 718.

Daniel M as you said, sad but true. As amazing as it is, i woud never put 500k in a Ford GT when an Aventador S is half the price for one of the best V12 in history 😉

Why are people whining and hating about the 4 cylinder when they can't even afford it. It's better performance oriented than the inline 6.

Nah, it’s not about counting cylinders. However I agree, the sound is shocking.

ChaosphereIX the engine in the 718 is a flat 4 not flat 6 my dude.

I know. That is why I was saying NO. They ruined it by putting the wrong engine in it.

Lukestersim :3 I so hope you're joking...

Lukestersim :3 dis nigga deaf

Nope. It sounds brilliant.

Subaru WRX

It really doesn't. It's like a turbo classic Beetle.

Dinosaurs dishing out the hate. Change or die.
