I fully agree! I drove a 981S and a 981 base. The price difference did not translate to more driving fun in the S. So I ended up buying the base 2.7 and I absolutely love it! I now have a jet black 981 with 20 inch Carrera III titanium wheels, PDK, PASM, full PDC with rear camera, heated seats and the sports steering wheel with the paddle shifters. Only thing on my whish list is PSE. Just for that little bit extra grunt. Other than that, it's perfect! Great sound at high RPM's, good for daily driving and quite practical if you're going away for a short stay. Quick enough to lose your driving license if you're not paying attention 😉. My first Porsche, my first sports car, but the best car I ever owned.
@@andyjarvisio5337 I just looked that up and apparently you're right. So my car must have been optioned with the sport exhaust also which I assumed was all part of the sport option. Thanks for clarifying it for me
I flew in from Hawai'i two years ago to pick up my 981 in Iowa and drove it back to the west coast to ship back, It was an awesome road trip! it's truly a Island car just enough power when you need it 4th owner and no mechanical problems a solid set of wheels that gets a lot of compliments when out and about. Aloha aHappy 981 owner.
I bought the base Cayman with PDK to do the occasional track driving and found it has remarkable handling up there with a Gt3. Looking further into it the average cornering g’s is higher than the S and the Gt4. I imagine this is probably for the X73 optioned ones.
@@invictusporsche got it 2020, @32k miles. Just hit 60k last month. Only have needed 1 spark plug, 1 sensor, tires and new headliner. Front rotors and pads next month however. 👍 Love the car.
In my opinion is a biased review, because you sell this car so you won’t say anything bad about it, please try and be more real, you will sell the car even better. I have a base 981 also.

No reason to have PSE because Sport mode opens the valve
Going to get my first sport car, first posche same spec and color as you soon. Can't wait for it.
@@drunvertthere isn’t a valve unless you have pse?!

That’s memories right there, it’s perfect for public roads and plenty of power. Great value and hope you have an amazing time in yours

Glad to hear of your experience, we can honestly say that the Cayman is probably one of the best model in the Porsche line up 👌
Nice car, would like the sports steering and the extended leather tho
Would have liked the extra optionals too 😉
Great job with the review!
Thanks for watching and your compliment
Yes !!
I wanna get these wheels for my 981 cayman which is also black are those gloss black or satin black?
Satin black, it does look good
So true! That's why I bought a 981 Base.
Glad you made the right call.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
How much should I pay for one in the USA? It has 26k miles on it
Sorry we don’t know what the marker in the US is like 🙏. Although these are great cars and you will absolutely love them 😊
Between 35k and 40K
What’s a better choice a base 2014 cayman or a 2007 carerra s 911 both around the same price?
Personally I would choose a base 2014 Cayman. You can share the link of two choices and I can advise a bit more on 07833 788508
I would buy one right now if I could omg
Work hard and make your dreams come to reality
Identical to my car. Except I have the preferred manual transmission.
The manual is a great car how many miles have you done on it so far?

👍 Love the car.
I own a 996, and think my 986 handled better.
Truth be told, midmount engines are track proven!
In my opinion is a biased review, because you sell this car so you won’t say anything bad about it, please try and be more real, you will sell the car even better.
I have a base 981 also.
There is not a lot to dislike about this car
But he isn’t lying in the review so why does it matter if he is selling the car?
No.
Buy a manual 😉
Haha do you have a manual 981?
