hands down the best reviewer of cars for potential buyers. This reviewer actually compares all the possible options and equipments, which is so confusing in modern cars givens so many choices for engine, exhaust, suspension, wheels, seats etc.

This is the best all-round review I have seen. I'm commenting here in the hope that the RU-vid algorithm ensures that this is featured more highly in the UK - as there were simply no reviews in the UK that came anywhere near as close as the quality of this one. You're accurate, measured and informative, with some seriously impressive in-depth knowledge, and your language and commentary is outstanding. I may be biased because I actually do own a 2017 718 Boxster S (also in white), but seriously your review is balanced, and extremely fair. I have subscribed.

This is the best car review I have ever seen. The 718 Boxster is a real masterpiece just like every other Porsche. I literally love everything on it and I can't wait to get mine. It should arrive in September. I put the deposit for it the very next day after watching this review. Thank you Thomas!

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

+miroslav1098 thanks miroslav! and have a lot of fun with your new boxster :)

@miroslavm2553 5 лет назад

Autogefühl - Hello Thomas! This is just to let you know that I just traded in my beloved 718 Boxster for a Carrera 4S. I had a great time driving my 718 for 2.5 years but I decided to upgrade. 911 is absolutely the best sports car ever made and now I can’t describe how happy I am. I wish I can take it with me to my bedroom every night, ha-ha. If you made a RU-vid video of 2017 or later Carrera 911 4S I would love to watch it.

@miroslav1098 8 лет назад

Hello Thomas, I wanted to let you know that my built to order 718 Boxster arrived to a dealer yesterday and I picked it up this morning. I can't tell you how happy I am. This car is a real masterpiece and more likely I will sleep in my garage tonight because I can't take it with me in my bedroom, ha-ha. Thanks for the good wishes.

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

I rarely subscribe to channels these days but after seeing the base review (miami blue) and this one, I'm subscribing. Great work, thanks for walking through the ordinary parts of each car in a measured fashion

@gbriank1 8 лет назад

A lot of purists will dislike what I'm about to say.... I think the new Boxer 4 with turbocharging is the best engine for this car. The 718 has a better weight distribution, power comes on very low in rpms, shifting the transmission is reduced and you have more space in the rear trunk. I doubt the fuel economy will be any different in the real world. The exhaust sound is very good and Porsche has tuned it well. Being a best seller, I think the 718 will have excellent reliability and be a classic 20 years from now.

@metalmikebot 8 лет назад

+gbriank1 I totally agree. It's a give and take with turbocharging. Like Thomas says in the review, with NA engines you generally have to wait until the engine is revved up pretty high to get the full power delivery. And anyone who's driven a BRZ/FR-S can attest that NA engines can have torque dips that 'feel' a bit like turbo lag. Sounds like this engine is super responsive.

@gbriank1 8 лет назад

Mike Doolittle So true. And it doesn't hurt that Porsche has all the extra research money coming from selling the Cayenne.

@Ashgardiner 8 лет назад

+Mike Doolittle go to a dealer and drive a 981 there is no issues with power and its way more fun to keep it revving up high blasting through the gears on full 6 cylinder song!

@metalmikebot 8 лет назад

How do you know it's 'more fun'? Have you driven the 718?

@Ashgardiner 8 лет назад

+Mike Doolittle Yes i took a 718S Boxter out last weekend when mine was in for a service. Acceleration didn't feel significantly faster, but then again they are both blisteringly fast. I think you would only really notice in a drag race. Handling didn't feel as good as mine, but my car is a Cayman S which are known to bee sharper than a Boxter S, Mine also has PDK, torque vectoring, PASM and adaptive steering. The Boxter only had pdk so it was an unfair comparison. I would say it was pretty close but nothing groundbreakingly different, to be honest they feel pretty similar to drive although the pasm is much better over bumps in normal road than conventional suspension. Its very hard to make a car that is pretty much perfect much better when it comes to the handling both are superb to drive and i think anyone would be very happy with either. The 718 did feel a little cheaper than my car i really didn't like the dash vents, but then it didn't have all the options and leather bits like mine so its not quite a like for like comparison, little things like manual seats was a level i didn't realize Porsche could drop down to! Overall it was no better or worse to drive than my 981 it just didn't evoke the same emotional connection as my 981 and that was 100% due to the sound and way the power was delivered, it was fast it just wasn't an event like it is in the 6 cylinder cars.

@BSquare1989 8 лет назад

Another full review already! It's amazing how active this channel is! You guys put every other car site and magazine to shame! :) And combined with Thomas' reporter skills and charisma, it's a winning combination! I actually really like the rear, and it doesn't sound bad I think! Great job!

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

+campista777 thanks we really appreciate that !

@celinapayson 8 лет назад

+Autogefühl One of the most comprehensive reviews I have ever seen. Would have been interesting to do a direct comparison of the Boxster GTS and the new 718 S model. Clearly the torque is much greater, but the difference in sound and character cannot be overstated based on what you can hear in this video. It's a night and day difference. I have a Cayman GTS manual and the sound above 4500 RPM is completely intoxicating. Much smoother also. Someone who never heard the NA flat six with sport exhaust probably would never care, but Porsche really has taken the soul out of these cars, a big part of what has made them so extraordinary. At least they kept the flat 6 in the new 991.2 turbos and the sound seems to be far better -- couldn't they have found a way to do that in these cars? For people considering this car, my suggestion is to compare it to a late model used Boxster pr Cayman 981 with the 6 cylinder before buying.

@Baerzilla 7 лет назад

celinapayson compare a 981 S and a GTS, that's another level as well. Comparing the best sounding one ever with the new one is a little harsh. :)

@autogefuehl 6 лет назад

+Brian Abrams wow, I really appreciate this

@tx118410 6 лет назад

Hi again, I am torn between the S and the 2.0. I will get the sound package but will never be on a track and it will be my daily driver. Some reviews say from a standing stop there is turbo lag in the 2.0 whereas the S has a lot of go. For USD $10k or so is the S worth it along with lower gas mileage? Thanks.

Thanks so much, Thomas! I've been really looking forward to this video. This was one of the best reviews I have ever seen on this channel (which is generally full of great reviews). Really loved the additional info and context you have provided on the model's history, the motor etc - really insightful. The Boxster in my opinion is one of the best and probably most underrated sports cars. Therefore, I'm glad you liked the car.

@jms241965 6 лет назад

I recently found this channel, and I’m very impressed with the reviews. I am a current owner of a WRX with twin turbo, and I can say with certainty that this does not sound like a Subaru. I have driven a 2010 GT3 and was blown away by the intoxicating sound of the flat 6, so I understand the disappointment with the loss of the exhaust note. I am a previous owner of a 1973 914 with the 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder engine. The 914 weighed approximately 2000 pounds and the engine produced only 95 hp. I can truly say that the mid engine, low weight, relatively low hp Porsche, was a blast to drive (former owner of a Boss 302 Mustang). Turbo 4 cylinder engines are here to stay for various reasons (performance and emissions) and whether they reduce the number of sales of the 718, is yet to be seen...thank you for these great review.

@autogefuehl 6 лет назад

great to have you here!

@diegofinance 6 лет назад

Dear Joseph, if Porsche is happy with the sound of the engine, why would they bother to install two speakers (one behind each seat) just to play electronically "enhanced" engine sounds (I couldn't find out if they are recorded or amplified). Why would Porsche add weight to a sports car just to cheat the sound you hear in the cabin? Is this in accordance with their heritage? Why you can't get this information in any RU-vid review?? Is Porsche paying the reviewers not to disclose this?

@jms241965 6 лет назад

I need to take a ride to the dealership to see these speakers...if Porsche were really concerned with the sound they would have kept the flat 6...the increased horsepower and performance is long overdue...we will see what the sales numbers are for the 718.

@diegofinance 6 лет назад

Joseph Sedotto, ok, just let me know what the dealer says to you and what can you find out. Thanks!

@diegofinance 6 лет назад

Dear Joseph, could you check something in the dealership?

@mmacdza 8 лет назад

I'll wait to test drive one before ordering, but based on your review I'm confident this will be my 5th Boxster S.... and first 718. I cannot imagine needing more from a car. The Boxster S really is almost perfect if you don't need 4 seats.

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

+Malcolm Mac Donald glad we could help Malcolm! Dont forget to pick the Alcantara/faux leather seats if you can get those in your market!

@mmacdza 8 лет назад

+Autogefühl of course. :)

@Baerzilla 7 лет назад

Autogefühl I do not understand how anyone could ever buy any Porsche without the full leather interior. That just add so much special feeling to the interior, also with the accented stitching. I really like alcantara but unless it's a GTS you can't combine the alcantara seats and leather dashboard. Edit: I'm an idiot, you can, but it's a individual option.

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

See here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LNSUzZXzpdc.html

@Baerzilla 7 лет назад

Oh, thats the reasoning behind it. I can respect that, but personally I'd still go full leather if i had to choose again. As long as there isnt a equally good option without leather im not going to miss out on it. Not to start about resale value...

Phenomenal review Thomas ! Appreciate your perspective on the redesigned turbocharged engine vs the naturally aspirated predecessor. I'm a current Porsche owner ( 2015 Cayman GTS + 2016 Porsche Macan S ) , and I am passionate about the brand. My daily commute to work in these vehicles is the highlight of my day. Looking forward to the next Porsche review. Hopefully the new 911 !

@hermest99 8 лет назад

Seems like a nice car to have if you're looking for a second car and live in a country that has a climate to actually allow you to drive this. As for the sound, I liked the 2.5 because of the lower sound, the 2 definitely improved with the exhaust button on, though I imagine the boxter S sounding even better with that same option enabled. again, great video!

@roybravo 8 месяцев назад

The best car review ever.

@butterscotchtele 7 лет назад

Having driven both 718 S 's (with and without sport exhaust), I actually prefer the standard exhaust. The reason is that, although when PSE is on, yes it is a little louder at high rpms, it is also more quiet than the standard exhaust at lower rpms. You still get the gargles and pops without PSE. I simply found standard exhaust to be the more pleasing overall driving experience. I make a similar analogy to the standard suspension versus PASM. With PASM, when switched off, the suspension is softer than standard, and when on, it's harder. PASM equipped cars miss entirely the perfect, to my sense, standard suspension. Waiting delivery on my Boxster S, standard suspension and exhaust.

@kenschultz5585 8 лет назад

An excellent review Thomas. Most of the commenters on all of the 718 Boxster reviews have negative comments on the exhaust note, but until you hear it with your own ears in the 718 Boxster S with optional Sport Exhaust, you have not heard the best there is for the 718 platform. It is too bad that Thomas didn't have the S with the Sport Chrono and Sport Exhaust for this review. For a fair comparison, I went to a dealer and drove a 2016 Boxster GTS and a new 718 S with Sport Exhaust, back to back. The 718 with Sport Chrono and Sport Exhaust delivers that wonderful torque instantaneously at all times, has superb handling, and a decent throaty sounding exhaust note with somewhat less crackling than the GTS on downshifts. It's not equivalent sounding to the GTS by any means, but not anywhere near as horribly sounding as the official Porsche video on the 718's which was poorly mic'd for exhaust note...they do not sound at all like a Subaru with a "tinny" exhaust pipe. That was a disservice to the car and to Porsche who have done quite a respectable job on the new 718.

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

"It is too bad that Thomas didn't have the S with the Sport Chrono and Sport Exhaust for this review." -> see racetrack part! Plus, I had the non-s version with Sport Exhaust and Sport Chrono package

+The19610211 ye that manual is sporty stiff - some like it some dont

Thanks for the great review Thomas. One question: how tall are you and was the distance to steering wheel and pedals comfortable for you? Keep up the good work!

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

+Deniz Ultanur thanks! 1.86 m, you can adjust steering wheel distance, low/up and seat height

@dultanur 8 лет назад

+Autogefühl So you were comfortable, good head room, knees comfortable etc.?

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

+Deniz Ultanur basically yes I was quite surprised. And better than in the F-TYPE for example. Still, if you want a _really_ comfortable convertible, you should go for mid-size convertibles (Audi A3/ A5, Mercedes C-Class, BWM 4-Series) or Grand GTs (Mercedes SL...)

Thomas, great review. Best I have seen so far. BTW, your English is excellent. I am envious! I have a GT3RS, and a 2012 Boxster S and have put my name on the list for 718 Cayman S with PDK. I still think about the Boxster in the summer, but love the look of the Cayman. All good choices. Cheers. Vielen Danke.

As much this is the best analysis of the new porsche 718 I've seen. Congratulations on your analysis really sample all aspects of the car. My comment is I would buy a boxter GTS few months ago until I saw that the new model coming soon, I wait the decision for that reason. What I dont know is that not the GTS version of this model. I know I'm not the only customer who wants him with the GTS kit. Anyway I really enjoy your video ! Great Job !

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

+davichin27 thanks !! GTS kit will follow later, they always bring that later for their models, I expect that by mid of next year. GTS packs usually rock as they have the alcantara options. Though for the 718 Boxster you can already get leather alternative with basic seat, thats rare with porsche

Amazing how much the 2 litre flat 4 sounds like a VW / Subaru cross. Not a huge fan of that particular sound from a Porsche.... nothing quite like the sound of a flat six in full song!

@CTStyles31 8 лет назад

Ich hatte das Vergnügen heute einen 718 Boxster S probezufahren. Geht ab wie ne Rakete, laut wie sonst was und klebt am Boden. Geniale Karre, auch wenn Puristen nie aufhören werden über 4 Zylinder zu heulen.

I would choose baby blue exterior, black rim, bright grey interior, and black or dark blue roof, that options looks amazing.

Fun review, Thomas. Thanks! Big Porsche fan here. I love that plain Jane steering wheel! And a stick shift. Rear end styling is not my favourite - same with the coupé. Portugal looks lovely too.

Personally I miss the flat-six ("bokserikuutonen" we say in Finland). I think driving a roadster is a lot about the motor also and I'm not satisfied with this new soundtrack. Thanks Thomas, great job once again!

Thanks Thomas, I'm sitting at home in Canada, it's minus 20c, and I got to go for a ride in a great car in Portugal! fantastic! Love your reviews, one suggestion, can you give us an example of the sound system? nothing major, just a little sample. Great job, keep up the good work.

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

appreciated! Also tune in to the recently uploaded 911 review from South Africa :) Quite often talking about sound systems, though I m having a hard time as I cannot really transport the sound to your home!

I agree that the little design tweaks to the exterior are great, however I think that the old interior looked more elegant due to the less plasticky looking vents.

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

+Michael Gross hmmm good point !

@MrWingtip 8 лет назад

You do a great job reviewing these cars and if there is one car I lust for in the "affordable" group, it is this one. A 718 Boxster S is the perfect daily driver-do it all car for me. I can't afford it yet, but I hope to in the not too distant future.

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

thanks don !

@colinsmith1176 7 лет назад

Great review, as always. The replacement of the 6 cylinder with the 4 is not so controversial for me. But there's something aesthetically discordant about the headlights and grill. I guess the headlights curve too much into the center, and the rectangular grill clashes with the curves that define the overall shape of the body.

@metalmikebot 8 лет назад

Fantastic review as always, Thomas. I'm a bit disappointed you didn't get more time to drive the base model and compare the two. And I think the interior is a bit underwhelming; the Audi TT-S has much better value in that regard. But there's a purity and agility about the Boxster I think is amazing.

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

+Mike Doolittle thanks! I drove the base model some time more after shooting, the difference is not THAT huge, of course you notice a little bit that you have more power in the S, but it is no game changer. Difference is greater between manual and automatic in driving feeling

@metalmikebot 8 лет назад

+Autogefühl So I have to ask then - if you were buying a Boxster, would you get the base with a manual, and maybe add torque vectoring, sport exhaust and PASM?

@junlin8656 8 лет назад

Great detail review !!! Thank you! Just a question, would you recommend to go for 718 Boxster S or Boxster? Some says the new Boxster is good value compare to Boxster S? What do you think about that? Thx!

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

the S is overpriced indeed comparing to the normal version. The Boxster / Cayman is a car that you can very very well buy in the basis spec and just add some features you really appreciated

@04poppop 6 лет назад

I like red, white and blue colour on this car, but if someone counts every 1000£ than mazda mx-5 is the choice 16 000£ compare around 50 000£ for boxster is massive saving and for ordinary driver is still a lot a fun to have with mazda-5 perhaps even more. But as owner of boxster you will get a bit of privilege feeling, feel you have something special in your garage.

Greetings from the USA. I haven't commented in a while but had to say something for a Porsche review! Great review as always, thank you. The usual English term for the shifting down effect is either rev-matching or throttle blipping. Where did you film? It looked like an old NATO airfield with some cool old planes. Are you going to review the BMW M2?

@autogefuehl 8 лет назад

+Kuryan T thanks kuryan! will implement throttle blipping next time :) That was an old airfield about 1 hours north of lisbon M2 i ll try to get later this year !
