His humor, candor, and enthusiasm are spot-on. And as a 718 owner for the last year, I can thoroughly attest to the description of the car Thomas uses most: "Wow".

    Wow! Well done, Thomas. That was a brave verdict. Objectively speaking, I'd go with the 718 as well. I'd also recommend getting a 981 series car used. 90% of the technology but with the normally aspirated flat-6. Both are great generations of the same concept. The 911 is of course the most iconic, but at an incredibly high premium nowadays. Unfortunately, Porsche has decided to take the 911 into the Aston Martin direction in terms of prestige over accessibility to the "average" buyer.
    I think you summed it up best when you said that you'd take 2 of the boxsters instead of the one 911 based on price. Of course, as a Cayman 981 owner, my comments are a little biased. ; ) Keep up the great work!

I had one as a courtesy car from my OPC and couldn't wait to bring it back. It sounded asthmatic and even worse the faster you go. I would have hated myself if I got one. The 981 GTS.... Awesome! Even the 911, the best ones are upto the 991 Gen 1, not after. Drove a 2022 911 on Saturday and was very underwhelmed, my pal who owned it could not believe the sound and the way my GTS drove. I had to pry my keys of the guy! 🙂

      I agree that it was brave of Thomas. I also agree with the verdict, objectively speaking, even though I dislike the 2L 718 (I could live with the 2.5 if I had to). Best bang for the buck is certainly the 981 S. IMO, the premium for the 981 GTS is too much, but great car. However, for me, I think the 911 991.1 S/4S is the best bang for the buck 911, and is my personal preference. Still modern, yet classic, still relevant. 981 still modern and relevant, too, IMO. I do like the 992, but I agree that its price premium is hard to justify versus the 718, especially vs the 4L variants. Nonetheless, when compared with cars for the same money, the 992 range still represents good value for money.

      The GTS gains the more instant low end punch, better for realistic daily driving country roads or towns; loses the better sound of the 4.0. I think Porsche designed the 2.5 litre not primarily for economy/emissions reasons, but for the utility of not having to get to higher revs for everyday driving conditions. Better driveability 99% of the time. And they both have near equal 4.0/4.5 - zero to 60 times auto/manual. As with the 911 vs Boxster, it's the status of the 4.0 vs. better driveability of the 2.5.

    Had an 2007 Cayman, 2011 Boxster Spyder and now a 2019 911 Turbo Cabriolet. All were fabulous cars love every one of them. 911 is an unbelievable car. Can't go back to the Boxster/Cayman now!

    Exceptional review! Great job with thorough reviews of practically all elements of the vehicles. I appreciate the comparison done here and the honesty of assessment that is not clouded by the prestige of the more expensive car. They are both beautiful sports cars but I would agree that the 718 is the winner.

    Long time 911 owner. The new 911 has been made to be like a MB SL. From my test drive of the new 992 it is a ghost of what it once was. My issue with the new 992 is it’s just too big. The new 911’s look fat and obese instead of muscular. It’s huge compared to the air-cooled 911’s and lots bigger than the water cooled 996/997 yet there is no more usable space? The Cayman is really the best drivers car but Porsche will never let the Boxster/Cayman advance beyond the 911 and that is why Porsche has become their worst enemy. Build materials in the new 992 is cheap and Porsche’s option list and prices are ridiculous even by Porsche standards. The center console design is a train wreck and the square robot penis gear shifter is not helping. You can forgive these shortcomings in the SUV and Panamera models but now they have infected the 911 line. Ugh.. The 911 is now way overpriced for what it is and how it is built. I am replacing my 911 with a “M Car”.
    The review as always is the best online. You are professional and look at a car the way a experienced owner would. Great job.

    • @paull3179
      @paull3179 3 роки тому

      The back of the 911's and Cayennes are quite fat and ugly. The rear looks like it was designed with help from Lincoln. I am currently getting used to a 991S cabriolet which feels quite large but very enjoyable with the sport exhaust and powerful enough to spin the rear wheels even after it is moving at 30mph.. I just switched from a 9974s. Yes these are the best reviews on youtube. For daily use i have an overpowered tuned S4 which is my favourite car.

    2:28 The 911 with the roof down, from the side is not really a beauty, exterior wise I prefer the 718 Boxster, except for the rear lights. That new design of the rear lights of the 911 are fantastic. Great video as always Thomas.

    Excellent comparison/review. I took delivery of a new 2019 Cayman 8 weeks ago. Just clocked up 2000 miles tonight. I am more than pleased with my purchase. The 911 is outside my price range so very interesting comparison for me as I cannot compare both myself. Thank you.

    • @peterpoppe4855
      @peterpoppe4855 4 роки тому +2

      The same goes for me : I have a 718 Boxster. Would love to have a 911 but also out of my price range. I would like to test the 992 as well (I will do this once the manual gearbox is out), but I must say the Boxster is a superb car. I don't think you get more fun in the 911 for that extra money...

    • @arrek6773
      @arrek6773 4 роки тому +1

    Another terrific review Thomas. I am in the market for a new sports car and my short list (718 GTS 4.0, 911, and 2020 Corvette) just got shorter. The 911 is out of the running so now it is between the 718 and the Corvette.

    Last September I had a choice of a 718 Cayman S MY2018 or a 911 Carrera 4S MY2016. Same mileage, same price, both PDK. Both myself and my wife concluded the 718 was the car we wanted to drive, so we traded in my Mustang GT for the 718 CS. Makes me look forward just to drive to the supermarket!

Poi chiaro, settimana dopo per fare 1700 km di autostrada in 3 giorni in Germania, tombino audi con cambio automatico e ne esci bene.. Ma non è questo l uso della 718.

  • @tomagotchi1956
    @tomagotchi1956 4 роки тому +2

    Excellent review! Not often we see the 911 and 718 head to head. There is a (false) perception I think sometimes that 911 buyers don't cross-shop with the 718. On a side note, I find it incredible that it takes that long for the infotainment screen to warm up. Any Ford or Honda would be instant on. And "weak battery" from just using the PCM? Are you kidding? Hopefully Porsche will iron these bugs out soon. No way is that acceptable in a 150K car.

  • @JingoLoBa57

    Good job. Talking more a little about the suspension and ride experience in both units in each mode gives us more idea of the comfort vs performance and the balance vs road conditions how different conditions will feel. Thanks again great job I’ll take two 718’s his and hers for the price of the 911!

  • @michael7302

    Great review, gotta say after driven both - 992 is like the new panamera and I enjoyed the 718 much more on b roads 👍 living in Sweden 992 (4s) might be better in snowy conditions as I plan to use it as a daily, but its all about how heavy the right foot is and I cant wait for my 718 S 🙌

    Good discussions there - but agree with Thomas. I like the 718's speedy go-kart effect, but not the rough ride. Or price! Good Car Wash joke though! 39:11 brave guy pulling out in front of a 911 - kudos to Thomas's usual calm driving reaction! 42:19 was that a complaining cyclist! That rough road at the end for the 911, is smooth compared to UK roads! Many thanks Thomas.

    @nateisright 4 роки тому +4

    I’ve driven 911, Boxster, and Cayman. The handling limits of the mid-engine layout are so high that it feels like a momentum car. You just don’t seem to need much power to turn low lap times. That said, the 911 feels like a car that has been getting better for 6 decades. It sounds, drives and feels like a flagship car. Brutally quick, but feels so competent and solid, like acceleration is just a minor talent. You can cover distances with almost no effort or fatigue. The controls are so precise in each car. If you want to effortlessly tour,get the 911. If you want to feel the speed, get the 718.

    I have to say that I own a '17 Cayman S and I'm very pleased with your comments and conclusions. The 911 is a fabulous Porsche but has evolved into a semi sports car, gaining bulk and is now more of a boulevard cruiser. To me, the Boxster/Cayman series are truer to the Porsche history of light efficient sports cars. One final thought for you 911 people, why has Porsche now gone to mid-engine for the new 911 RSR's that will make their racing debut in January 2020?
