NEW 718 Porsche Boxster/Cayman GTS 4.0 Review - Oooh, It's Good! 

Great review, team - thank you. Boxster GTS 4.0 is pretty much darn perfect!

Wow can’t believe the price drop on the 981 gt4s since these came out!!!

This is THE Porsche to get! With its perfect balance, naturally aspirated flat 6, manual transmission... the GTS 4.0 is the ideal formula for driving pleasure and is the best sports car in Porsche's lineup, in my opinion. I'm not saying the 2.5 flat 4 is bad, it's a great engine with outstanding performance, but it's no match for this. That said, I'd still consider buying a preowned 2.5 GTS, but the deal would have to be a once in a lifetime bargain. Otherwise, there will likely be a Cayman GTS 4.0 in my garage at some point in the future.

I kept waiting to hear the “wail”, but the audio just doesn’t pick it up very well. The 981 GTS is slower, but the sound is intoxicating!

What a machine this car is, I want one for sure!

Great video Brian, I’m a big fan of the Cayman and Boxster!

Great use of the go pro inside the cayman! Feels like you had a cameraman in the passenger seat

Was the drive more compliant with the 10mm pasm than the 20mm pasm?

Great review, quality 👍 as always

I can see how the 20 mm lower suspension would feel sharper on the track, but I'm wondering if you had a chance to sample both on the road as well? This will be a daily driver for me, for weekend back roads but not for track duty. I know you put in a vote for the 10 mm lower option for a daily driver, but if feels a lot sharper at 7 or 8 tenths (as well as all-out), I might still consider it. Thanks!

For me, it is a question of torque. I’ve owned 4 Boxster S’s over the years, currently drive a 911.1S. Without a doubt the Boxster handles better than the Carrera. However, it lacks low end torque. I wonder if the four-cylinder turbo S might be a more enjoyable drive, as peak torque is available at under 2000 RPM. The 4.0 GTS requires near redline for maximum torque. What do you think?

thats my dream car gots to have it one day!!!

you said you drove both the -20mm PASM AND THE -10mm (Porsche calls it +10) and said the -20 was quite a bit better. Could you elaborate please?

OK, so I have a deposit on a Boxster GTS 4.0 for delivery in March 2021. I had a 2006 Corvette Z51 I purchased new but sold about 6 years ago due to the manual transmission being so miserable in Atlanta traffic. So, I'm definitely getting the PDK. But, should I go for the 10mm drop or 20mm drop? I am mostly buying it because it's a go-cart for the street and it is effectively a tricked out convertible replacement for both my old 'Vette and a 2011 Harley RoadGlide I recently sold. However, I will likely track the car at most a total of 2-5 times during the 10+ years I'll own it. Instead it will be a car to do errands in and enjoy driving in the mountains on weekends. I'd love for someone who's driven both to let me know which should I get for making the car enjoyable for the type driving I'll actually do. I did hear them say it's a major difference in the video, but I don't know if that means it's a LOT rougher and only a little more precise or a LOT less precise and only a tiny bit rougher....

There are dozens of reviews on this car going back over 2 months, but for some reason it still hasn't shown up on the website configurator yet.

The interior of that car is not standard. I have recently ordered one and the interior as you showed it is like mine and it cost about $5,000.

please elaborate a little more on the differences between 10cm lower to 20cm suspension. Does it make that big of a difference on the car's handling

How would you compare the driving character and fun factor against a Miata Club or Supra? Assuming your budget might be an issue? In other words do you think it’s worth the money when you can get other much less money: Mustang GT350, Supra 3.0, M2Comp; new Nissan Z

If you were buying one would you get any options at all or just buy it within any options. It seems like it really has everything unless you want to get leather or upgraded audio but then you’re well into $100k territory. It starts at $87k so to me that’s a lot of money 💰!!!

You seemed to be driving pretty hard on the track and could not really close the gap between you and the 911. I'm going to assume it was a Carrera S. Was it really that much faster or your average driving skill?

I would take a pdk boxter gts 4.0 anytime

If you want beautiful roads, go to the south of France, Italy or Corsica

Why don't just call it a 4 rather than a 4 point 0?

235 in front?? Needs 255 minimum

718 boxster gts 4.0 is no pop sound??

There’s no “push to pass” button on manual Porsche’s. Have no idea what he’s pushing when he says that 🙈😂

Why does every journalist talk about fuel consumption?? Who gives a shit
