.............................................................
This is the new Porsche 718 Spyder, and Mat thinks it's the most fun Porsche sports car EVER! So what does it offer to claim that title, we hear you ask? Well under the bonnet, it’s packing the same 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six (much better than flat-four in the normal Boxster) as found in the GTS. What's more, it's been tuned to offer 420hp and 420Nm of torque!
In terms of price, it starts from £73,850, but when it has a top speed of 187mph and can hit 60mph in just 4.4 seconds, is it worth the price over the standard Boxster? Or should you even just pay the extra and go for the 911?! Stick with Mat to find out!

Mat stays at 8000 rpm at 82mph
“I’m only getting 21 mpg instead of 25 hmmm not that good”
Exactly what I thought 🤣
Thats not an average number of the trip though, that's the reading of mpg while he's driving in 6th gear...
Staafnek 14:21 it says cont average consumption over 339miles
Yeah, winds me up when him and others do this. Like what do you expect it to be when loads of journalists have been thrashing the fuck out of it. It's exactly like doing a 0-60 but starting off in 2nd gear and not red lining. Drive it like Miss Daisy and you'll get good MPG, it's as simple as that. I do and get 75-80 in my 1.6 TDI.

For 92,000 that is a very big rip off
*Porsche really did a thing slapping that 4.0 in this car...definitely changed the game* 👍
With a stick no less!
@@SoulTouchMusic93 Nope. A gear lever. A stick grew on a tree.
@@noelbell6475 you must be fun at parties. and automatics got gear levers too.
@@SoulTouchMusic93 In automatics, I think they’re generally called “gear selectors”, not gear levers.
@Cairo Brentley why would you do that
Loved the stereotypes at the beginning. ‘It’s a poor man’s 911’ as told by those that can’t afford one 😅
Well caymans have understeer and 911 don’t
@@alexk3469 really? First I've heard of that, did you find that when driving a Cayman? I can't say that Chris Harris reported such and neither of my Boxters ever suffered from understeer...????

This thing is like a mini Carrera GT, love it.
I love how Mat managed to take a dig at Autocar while reviewing a Boxter
sssssss
Have you ever heard of the Porsche Ayman?
its a spyder not a boxster im triggered
Which company has the best technology: Apple or Samsung
Matt: They’re all good but not quite as good as BMW ‘s Idrive system
@J M I think he likes the Polestar's Android based infotainment more now.
BMW is lost...
😂
Porsche 911 GT3 RS To be honest..... yes. Yes it is. Not sure what they’re up to at the moment. No manual in the new 3, a 4 that looks like a slapped arse, a 7 with a face only its mother could love, an 8 that is a shadow of what the 8 concept set out, a Z4 that is squarely aimed at SLK buyers, a front wheel drive 1 and 2 etc etc. Sigh. All very disappointing to a long term serial BMW owner. I don’t know what’s left for me in the range now, apart from the M2 - which is, at least, fab.
colin5577 the new 3 is very good but getting rid of the manual is a very foolish decision, the upcoming m3 with the manual looks promising though.
Been waiting for this review for ages! Great job as always @MatWatsonCars
This is an brilliantly engineered and manufactured work of art....
Well done Porsche...
Thank you Porsche....
everything is brilliant except the engine
@@tylerarnold3971 it's actually good
@@sherif.ghoneim i’m not saying it isn’t good. it’s plenty to be fun. but this absolutely beautiful car deserves a v6

How is your cousin, Intel UHD Graphics 630?
Matt's old 'Specialist Timing Gear' is back!
Yes exactly!
Did it go away?
D.B. Yes it was
Always entertaining and always a few interesting things others miss. Keep it up.
That combination of exterior and interior colors, and those rims are just fabulous.
I just wish it had red calipers to match the roof and interior, no clue why they're black
@@essayedgar Porsche will paint them red as a factory option for just $7200

Absolutely love these reviews!!! Drag races are good but this is what car buyer and car wow was about
The car is amazing but Matt’s review is always the best.
Seems like he placed the microphone in the exhaust of the car
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nope, these cars really are that unrefined. How do I know? My dad has a cayman S and that’s just as bad
@@pushatsinfrared unrefined lmfaoo you're a funny lad
@@ThrowinBombs80 I’m not joking. It’s a fantastic car but it’s extremely noisy

The timing of this video is amazing im looking for a car and doing research to a bunch but could not find a good video for the Porsche boxster and here we go😁

Can u explain how?
Love the review Mat! Thank you!
Matt easily has the best job you can possibly have on earth . This man is loving his life
Im a doctor, and i actually wanna trade my life for mat's job, pleaseee.....!!
8:49 that was kinda funny, wasn't it
THE TIMING, exactly when I was planning to buy it!
8:50 that proves Mat is the coolest car reviwer+CZcams nice man
This Porsche is a beauty! I want it 😬😎
And I LOVE that’s it’s NA and back to the flat 6, and then a manual. Hell yes!!!
Enzo Morf it’s not about whether it’s slower, it’s about the feel of a manual. Can’t get that with an auto
Enzo Morf then don't buy the car and leave it for enthusiasts? Porsche obviously knows that a pdk is faster no shit, but they're selling the car to real enthusiasts who want a proper driving experience, not a video game.
best part lol: "Fully grown car reveiwer"..........8:38 ........AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAAHAH
hehe
Enjoying a coffee ☕
Matt says rimmed
Now the floor and wall is wearing my coffee
Thanks matt 🤣
I am a happy to own the previous model (981 Spyder) and must say I would never upgrade to the new 718 model. The 718 Spyder may have the GT4 chassis and 420 bhp, BUT the "old" one sounds SO MUCH BETTER! There is also a huge weight difference , almost 400 pounds!!! The 981 Spyder does the 0-62 mph in 4,5 seconds as on paper and he driving experience is on a totally different level without those stupid particular filters. Thanks Mat for another great review!
Gotta love the continuity in each with the Specialist Timing Gear😂😂
8:43 one of the best Mat Watson moments ever🤣
Lemme OUUUUUUUUUT
I can't wait to see either this, GT4 or the GTS 4.0 drag race against an M2 Competition or CS in manual... I think both cars go head to head in terms of character, performance and price... Both extremely enjoyable and amazing sports cars
Mat! Great reviews.. love that you don’t take yourself too seriously😄 love the dirty innuendos.. fantastic!!!
The RPM overlay while doing the 0-60 was delicious. Well played 💡
MOF; that is Dutch for "Jerry". Which is quite correct for a Fredinand P product.
Is that a Manual shifter I saw

Ain’t it marvellous!?!?
Yep
@@razorultra9202 Why 'eww'?
@@thenovicegamer007 dummy
I love this thing!!
A sportscar/car with a manual and buttons on the inside ❤
I always found these looking better because of the lights before appreciating the 911 oval/rounder h lights.
Front has a 918 vibe.
This car looks absolutely amazing, put your pride aside and enjoy the car!!
Great video👍
Possibly one of the best sports cars ever. Great looks, amazing engine, fantastic brakes, wonderful gear change, superb steering and beautiful handling. If you get a chance to drive or own one, go for it 😎
I love the red interior.
A very entertaining review, very well done.
can we just agree that matt can be a model.
In every video mat’s microphone sounds always like he’s speaking inside a cave
Maybe you.
@@martinallenuk no. Its the audio.
He's mumbling more now, usually when explaining unexciting quirks and features...
Had one of these drive past me at Sandbanks today, looked and sounded amazing
Beautiful car 😍 that paint- roofcolor combo😍
Boxster spyder : Why do people not recognise me
Porsche : We'll just give you a flat 6, then you'll se how the tables will turn
porche boxter Gts 4.0 .. naturally aspirated flat 6 with manual gear box. My next car, absolute perfection.
@@adam3504 Ah just hearing about it makes me want to drive one
This man literally has the best job on the planet.
Yeah, I'm 100% jealous and pissed off haha!!
very good, congratulations!
This was so enjoyable to watch! i felt the car myself
when Matt said " the steering is telephatic" while pouting his lips, somehow i am hearing the voice of Henry Catchpole........
I love how elongated the hood looks. It reminds me of a traditional sports car, like a Carrera GT, SLS, or Viper
Yes
Slr so on
I also love the red interior
Just love it, I’m also a fortunate owner of the 718 Spyder. 8000 rpm is legendary
love the 4 pops in 718s got such character just like the flat six also great to drive
I think, that this is the best looking Porsche!
I think, that your wrong!

Me watching CZcams on my TV "👁️👄👁️"
Excellent! Best car review I’ve ever seen.
Sitting here waiting for mine on order. All I can do is watch these videos which only makes the wait harder.
You can’t lie to your boss that you are home sick while driving this car😂
Editor : I am sure matt was saying matthew
I have just driven one of these around Scotland for a week with a pal. It was brilliant - just wish it was my car. You don't have to put the roof up when it rains as long as you are moving. The standard seats were more comfortable than my Audi A7! The roof does require practise to use. Forget all the hype about diffusers and ceramic discs it is just huge fun and astoundingly practical. I found this review when I was researching to buy one.
Oh a good review by the way
I love the roasting part🤘🤘🤘 u r the best mat💪😁
Manual , 4.0 naturally aspirated flat 6
God .... It's the definition of *INCREDEBLE*
Its perfect
I'm 13 but I want to drive it around the track
Work for it. You still young af, and go plan earlier how to achieved it, therefore you can enjoy it as early as possible.
@@scootpoyo9734 Thank you for the motivation
@James Moriarty Lol. But you know what, thats one of the way to earn it. If you thinks payload salary at your country is low compared to other developed country, jump to there. Get a good pointer and you can work anywhere you want.
The tips to have good start career is beside maintain good pointer, you just only need to focus on the subject that interest you the most, and must totally master it. Join event, tournament or any project that related to that particular subject.
Ignored other subject doest mean you let it fail, but make sure it pass/ or higher is better. Only focus on you favourite subject. Dont just blindly catch success. Let the passion drove you to success.
Then, you go to go to have good career opportunities in developed country.
#Tips to make money since early age:
1. Avoid buying stuff like Iphone, PS, PC Gaming and so on. Whenever you want to buy it, stop it and save it/ invest it to stock. Remember, being young doest's mean to just spend money you want, but to figure out how to have good life and money when you are adult. Let money make money for you.
Remember also,
Initial hardship for future ease.
Maybe now your other friend laughing and enjoy their life, but the moment after graduate, let them see you the only on laughing and enjoy life while they busy looking a way to make money.
@James Moriarty I see. So you computer engineering student. You know what, I really recommend to looking about cloud engineer/ big data engineer/ etc. It really2 recommend nowadays, no joke. I'm was graduate in electrical engineering, but there are too many electrical engineer, overload of graduate with less demand in industry, as company prefer experience engineer in this area rather than junior. Cloud Engineer/ Big Data has so many demands. It quite new technology as technology company nowadays all required cloud engineer. No course in university particular focus specific to become one. The close course are science computer/ computer engineering. I really recommend it. As so many demand, the salary quite high too. Therefore it easy too have career in big company. I really recommend you in cloud/ big data engineer.
11:44...Tell me someone is pressing the clutch down haha 😂
😂
Why? It wont hurt the car if it’s not turned on
@@Aikaramba12 I'm not sure to be honest with u, i was always under the impression that u have to press the clutch down even when the engine isn't running... But I might be wrong
Adel Titi it’s probably the best, but i dont think it’s hurting the car unless you force it in gears hard. It wont hurt to hold the clutch down i guess
Looks lovely in that spec
Awesome video Mat! These are hilarious!😸😻😸
Nice
The specs on this car are:
420
And the plates are
69
I'll take a like as a high 5 🖐🏻😂
sounds so damn good. even without rev

The manual roof on they Spider is enough reason for me to get the GTS instead!

Of all car brands, who've had ups and downs, Porsche has basically been a continually improvement generation over generation, a refinement of the same basic thing. Updated, refreshed, and with the best tech of the time.
The sound OMG 🥺🥰😍
"the most fun Porsche EVER!".... Lol. :D
Hello Mat, Carwow is getting greater and greater, I'd like to see a review on an older car, if that's possible, maybe an 07-2010 hot hatch.
one word ...HUBNUT

"Yeah, don't worry - dry stearing is like dry humping: it's not that bad for ya"
SUBSCRIBED.
This is the Porsche which I love a lot of all..!!
Now the designs are good from that company..The old designs look so awkward..!!
But the new models are looking so much better than those...old one's. ..in tems of luxury,tech,sportiness...
When do you draw the line - meaning what year you think there is the difference com old and crapy design to - the good side?
Absolutely! Spyder and Speedster! Both are the best and coolest and most valuable Porsche cars in the model range! Just Perfect!😎👍
@Seki I think the 996 aged really well, it's still very modern and fresh. A 993 looks like a car from a totally different era, it's charming but almost vintage. The 996 on the contrary is a lot more modern and it seems recent. I also find it very beautiful. Up to the 993 the 911 had a very square design, the 996 on the contrary has softer lines that make it really pretty in my opinion. Buying one these days is a bargain!
@@einautofan6685 Good design is expensive, I remember Porsche were in dire straits during the time of the 996, for me the "modern" Porsche beauty starts with the 997 around 2005 - for the Boxter it's the 981 I am speaking of personal experience :)
