I have owned a Porsche continually since 1968. My 718 Cayman S with all of the performance options is simply the best. Adam, Tofino CA
OOOOOH, I HAVE OWNED A PORSCHE CONTINUALLY...
What a stellar comment, well done sir. You certainly know how to live.
This car is soooo underrated!!! I don't get the hate it gets.
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).
718 gets my vote, I compared my 981 v 718 a while ago (see my vid) ok it was a boxster but much the same, both cars are peerless.
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.
The best of the cars you've checked so far. Even the spec on this is absolutely lovely!
At first I wasn’t sure. But now I think this is the perfect daily for you!
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
Buy it.
I test drove a 718 Cayman S a few months ago, truly an incredible car! Very fast & fun.
This is out of those you tested the most fun :) love this
Tony has a certain Penfold thing going on from Danger Mouse.
terrortorn looks like a character from the board game "guess who."
I find him extremely irritating!!!
best option for you by far :)
I feel like you could be right
SQ5 is good as well*
Vlad Patru agree
Out of all the possible daily's so far I'd say this is the best option. It looks spectacular, especially with this paint and wheels.
I'm a humongous 718 & 981 cayman fan!!!! Like you said, the car really captures that sense of occasion, yet is completely useable on a daily basis. I've been able to daily 2 981s and now a 718s and I'm just blown away, both on the road and the track. Also THE POPS AND BANGS oh my god. Really hope you get to spend more time with the car!
718 all the way. Had the pleasure of driving one and you're right; it's the complete package. And honestly the sound is in my opinion alright... I rather like it.
Currently drive an ATS-V, but the 718 will probably be my next car.
Forget all the haters man, to my ears the car sounds great. Here's a thing though, everyone makes the assumption that you must go with the S model, (more power right)? Give the base 718 with sport exhaust a whirl. Power difference negligible but a lot better sound, (more crackles & burbles) especially at low revs on the overrun. The difference in price for me was not an issue, (around £7,000) but i still went for the base model and i have to say i'm absolutely delighted with it's usability as a daily. Seriously the best sports car on the market IMO!
Great dilemma you have there my friend!
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!
Outstanding car and by far the best on your "next daily" list. Go for it!!
Absolutely perfect for a daily love to see content on it
TBH I don't really get the point of buying another small mid engine car besides 360. As a daily none the less.
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.
981 GTS, holds value really well and there's no comparison in the exhaust note. The new 4 cyl really sucks imo. You save a bit of fuel on the 4 cyl but you will lose a lot more on depreciation.
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.
Lovin' the teasers Sam! Looking forward to see the vlog
sort of thank you. this is almost exactly the car i've specced on Porsche's website. it's great to see it actually live, but then again it's painful because i can't afford one. Love the review and as always love your videos. I hope you get something fun and nice.
Sad times when your Cayman daily is faster than your Ferrari Supercar.
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.
Love the car love the video !!
Thanks!
Great piece of kit, still great cars to come through
The Porsche is the only one tugging your heart strings enough said can’t wait to see you driving it through the mountains in Europe
This is probably faster than the 360, both around corners and in straight line speed 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
Porsche for sure! With an after market exhaust?
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
The car is just amazing. Get it Sam, you won't regret it. You'll have a good daily that is also an amazing sports car. Plus I know I am not the only viewer who would love to see a lot of it in the upcoming months. :)
Great looking, fantastic driving and not bad sounding. The 718 is a hard combination to beat. And it's a blast on a track!
5:09 just close your eyes and listen to that beautiful WRX sing
It would be a perfect duo,this and the 360
Always love it when Tony is in the videos.
This is it! What a cool car!
Buy it, but spec it with a nice color combination like dark gray with yellow brake callipers, yellow stitching and black wheelsand other accents. This car is my dream car and I would love to see it in this channel...
Look at a c63 or c43 sedan or coupe. It's the perfect package, fast and luxurious and it can be a perfect daily if you get it as a sedan with four seats and a large boot.
The car looks amazing! You should definitely get this as your next daily
Beautiful ride, solid value.
Love that car and I actually think it sounds good too
This car seems to be very popular but surely this car defeats the object of a daily in terms of practicality/boot space/amount of seats and also long drive comfortability etc?
Test drove a 718 not long ago. What a machine! People still stop and smile at you and even tell you it sounds nice when you rev it in traffic (all this on a 30 minute test drive). But for me it’s gotta be the 981. Sound and emotion wins all day in my book. Can’t wait to pick mine up in April, with Sports Exhaust of course
Mine will be delivered in January. Can't wait.
Think this is the best one Sam
Why not keep the little Fiat and put the money towards buying a more significant Ferrari?
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 sound is amazing
I have been looking at these Sam, I think with a new exhaust, you have found the one!!
The colour looks great!
The spec of this car is fantastic
I agree :)
Is that Chalk?
The paint colour is called ‘Crayon’. Big fan.
It does look gorgeous.
This car somehow reminds me of your 4C.
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.
I testdrove the boxster S and will have one on order this spring (need to get my dividends paid first) please take the sport exhaust, it changes everything ! Funnily I owned a 4C before ... and go for the boxster so much more than the cayman for an extra 1,500
This video has changed my mind about this car. Seems massively usable
718 is the one
Thomas Semeniuk u right
Mercedes GLC43 coupe but I like the Porsche 718 Cayman
Glad you did this, I am thinking of upgrading from a Renault Megane 275 RS to this in yellow looks great.
This is the best on your list so far.
718 is a mad looking car. Sharkwerks exhaust, get rid of those horrid wheels, and you've got a banger in that beautiful grey.
Stef Otten Those wheels are amazing
Stef Otten A
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
981
I always liked STG the most (from all these youtubers). The chemistry between Sam and Tony is perfect and making this channel even better! I just don't get why STG doesn't have more subs...
I ordered a Cayman for use as a daily last year and after 17K miles in 12 months it has been great. Of the cars on your list it is the best choice.
Alpine a110
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
Please don't buy this, you'll regret the 4 cylinders... I've sold my GTS and bought this and it was the most underwhelming mistake I ever made...
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
Can’t wait to see what you think of the Golf R, I know it won’t be the one you go for but intrigued to your thoughts. Keep up the good work.
That's the perfect daily for you Sam ! Looking forward to seeing this on your channel soon along the 360 ;)
Abarths sound so much better than this
LOOK NO BRAKES
whaha never.
Jort Rinket You obviously haven't heard one then.
Why don't you test drive a Maserati Granturismo?
Perfect car. Perfect spec.
This is such a beautiful car. First car in the series that really gets me.
Get a macan Turbo!!!
Don't get a 981 Cayman GTS. One day you'll drive past a showroom and sitting in the front window will be a Cayman GT4 and you will feel inadequate as fuck. The 718 is also a better car in every way other than the sound so why wouldn't you?
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.)
I honestly think that this is the best daily you can get. great looks, good performance, nice interior, big storage capabilities, and it is a porsche
Do the 718 Cayman! Such an epic car and has lots of space for carrying your gear! Btw, your videos make my days so much better, thanks for all your content and being real about things!
This porsche 718 cayman is better than a audi tt rs
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
buy the 981 Cayman GTS
The 718 drives incredible. It's the best driving car for that kind of money. However, the engine drones a lot on long highway runs and just doesn't sound that good (reason why i am looking for the 981 gts after having a 718 s over a week). Take the value into consideration, too. GTS won't lose any.
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
Sam you hero, another great video!!’
LOVE this car!
Where’s the like before watch squad at?
Rafiq Ahmed right here !!
get the 981
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
such a beautiful car
If nothing else the pure value of you and tony talking about the vxr a test should be done haha
You should wait for the new Alpine to test it
This 718 is a pretty cool car... but for me it sound like a bad Megane RS :/ and 60k in a 4 banger ? Really ???
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.
The colour is awesome
Porsche all the way, best one tested so far.
yellow M2
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
Bmw m2
I daily a Porsche Boxster S and it is a decent daily. 2 boots are a plus. Quite a bit of space and I always surprise people by how much I can fit in it.
Sam I genuinely haven't commented on a UA-cam video in like 7 years so feel bloody special. Please buy this car so I can live vicariously through you.
It sounds so good
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.
NO. No flat 6. That exhaust note is horrific. I do not care how fast it is supposed to be. That doesn't matter, especially in a a daily. One of the best things about Porsche's, the engine note, has been ruined. No no no.
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.
Hey, subscriber and fan from the US here. Watch all your stuff.
I am a die-hard Porsche guy. I am also a die-hard naturally aspirated engine guy, but I hear your points about forced induction and its inevitable place in sports cars. I am very excited at the prospect of you owning a Cayman. I agree the sound is easily the weakest part of that car but I would love to see how good you can get that thing to sound. There is no one else out there trying to do that.
- Will
I have championed the Porsche from the start of this series and surely it’s the winner, fantastic car and you can see the love on Sams face, he is smitten by it and didn’t want to give it back which says it all
Get it...who cares if it has a Subaru engine
I dont get the hate...this car sounds amazing
Dinosaurs dishing out the hate. Change or die.
Yes get this, and this spec too!
Love this, the colour is the best in the range also!
Renaultsport Megane 😏
S Holdeenio I was going to swap my 275 for a cayman S :D
S Holdeenio a Renault? I'm sure he'd be gutted knowing he could of had a Porsche or audi
If you look at the megane sport performance vs cayman s for the price, they're a fantastic car without the outlandish boy racer design of the silly Type R @MunroM84 :D
Of course, but then you would have to hide your face when you drive it in public because its one fugly looking car that clearly looks like it has been designed by a 15 year old white lightning drinking, asbo awarding kid :D
Sam has a passion for renaultsports 😊 so did I a few years back
Love these 718’s!
This is the one. I hope people like this!
Finally! A cool daily.
Love the drive through gomshall
You need to get this mate!!
Best car you can get for your purpose - useable, reliable, but at the same time a real drivers car, handling and chassis doesn't get better and it's a beauty too
Porsche is just doing it right (except for the sound or let's say noise that comes out of the flat 4 - really don't know what they were thinking, regarding that they are building engines like in the GT3 that screams and shouts like there's no tomorrow and makes every single hair on your neck stand for days)
Great video! Like the way you're doing your stuff, from videos to podcasts etc. - keep it up
Thats such a cool spec on a cayman!
