EVERYONE HATES THE PORSCHE 718 BOXSTER (EXCEPT FOR ME)

- "On paper the Porsche 718 Boxster is better in every aspect: more power; improved chassis dynamics and balance. FASTESTLAPS.com shows the Porsche 718 Boxster competing with many cars above its’ rank.
It’s rear-biased weight ratio of 45-to-55 means its nimble, very nimble. I was able to throw anything at it and it corrected me out of bad situations. Put short, I did things in this car I wasn’t able to in the Alfa Romeo 4c.
Retuned suspension and the adopted 911 Turbo steering system meant higher speeds on tighter turns. The rigid chassis with damping system made it the perfect car for any day of the week, providing a smooth ride throughout most road conditions."

It's all in the head (ears). I have my 718 for nearly 3 years and am super happy with it ! I can understand that if you compare the sound between the 981 and 718 (982) that the flat 6 sounds better than the 4, BUT I came from a Golf GTI, so to me my 718 sounds great. Imagine no one knew the previous models then anyone would say that this a stunning, fantastic car with super performance and a superb value for money for this kind of performance. So don't compare it with it's previous models. Unfortunately Porsche needs to adapt to the environmental regulations which results into these kind of engines. And as others here have mentioned : a lot of viewers only know the 718 from CZcams video's and have not driven the car themselves, so they ought not to judge...
I totally agree on both points. The 718 is plenty power and handling for the experienced drivers. I'm an environmentalist 1st and a car lover 2nd.
It'll be funny to see how people react once cars are all electric
Agree on all points , from a 981 Spyder owner.
The car sounds great to me. My friend has one and it has a really nice angry growl. Videos dont do it justice. Also dont complain unless you either own one or driven it.
Great Video! Unfortunately, the 718 (982) is superior to the 981. Those that don't own one won't understand this. Wow, to complain about sound over power is insane. I prefer the 718 any day. Enjoy, drive what you want!!
I agree it's Ludacris. It's the same criticism the c63s amg has received for its fuel particle filter. The 718 exceeded my expectations. Based on my research I was prepared to critic it but changed the script once I actually drove it
@@gsgcarreviews Smart for you to drive it first! Most who do will not go back to the 981, you can always modify exhaust if you want. The car is amazing! Love the fuel saving mode, even got 35 mpg the other day, unbelievable!
@@jcastaneda8977 oh nice you currently own the 718? If so, which model?
@@gsgcarreviews Yes, a 718 (982), with PDK base model. So far best car 🚗 ever owned! Love the nimbleness of the car.
@@jcastaneda8977 I'm glad you own it because you're speaking from personal experience! It should really help narrow the search for those shopping 718s. 35mpg is amazing, that's been my average mpg in my hybrid!
A lot of these posers have never even driven the car...or have the ability to even purchase one!
That's right you're preaching to the choir, my man👏
I thought all the keyboard critics would be right but that flipped once I drove it in the canyons
Couldn't agree more! I have 2019 Boxster S. Have a ton of "real" car guy friends, you know? They actually own sport and/or muscle cars. No one...as in no one has ever had a single complaint about the engine, engine sound, or power. You literally can always see the posers by their comments. Or? Simple? Bate clicks! Saying stupid s*&^ gets views.
@@timh4886 the algorithm feeds you what you're looking for. I have seen many reviews and blogs complaining about this model. Luckily those people aren't watching this video (again algorithm feeds you what you're looking for)
The 718 is a great car.Everyone that hates it has probably never driven it.They are faster then the previous flat 6.Porsche knows what they are doing.
And that's a fact!
I have to agreed. Used to own v6 2016 GLE and now a v4 turbo 2021 GLE. I can tell the v4 is much lighter and faster at the same time. You can’t tell the difference in actual life driving versus number and spec, on paper. I’m looking into this 718 soon. Thanks for the video.
That's awesome, you're going to love it! the 718 is so much to drive
This is an interesting take, I do strictly road reviews, and this review is far my technical than mine. I didn't hate this car that's for sure, I'd definitely argue the 981 has a very different sound. What's more important is you're enjoying yourself. You gotta turn cool on bro (Sport) and stay in the power band and the turbo lag is almost non existent.
I bey haha I geek out on specs and engineering aspects. Yeah the cat is a lot of fun though, it's well balance and tight around the corners
I agree sport mode makes a big difference. Unfortunately I left out a lot of footage because the powered mic I had shut off without being aware of it lol.
Anyways what'll be your next review?? 🤙🤙
@@gsgcarreviews my next review? You'll have to see, I generally just review whatever I'm given. You know as much as I do :)
3:12 `obviously when you get into the higher gears you start to see a lot of TURBO LAG’ and that is what makes the naturally aspirated 6 so much better.
I agree in this regard. Wider power band across the RPMs
This car is a gem! So it is a 4 cylinder but it is in fact more powerful than the model it replaced, 300 ponies and less than 3000 lbs. does the trick. As the price of gas keeps climbing this car is kinder on your pocket. Do I need to get 2more cylinders for another 95 hp's? My answer is no.
The car design and profile is awesome. Mine is metallic black on the outside and all red in the inside. It is a looker. It has one two prizes in two PCA Concourses of Elegance. I get lots of thumbs up on the road and traffic light stops! Would I go for a GTS 4? Maybe but I will fight like hell before Igive this one up!!
I can't add anything to this, you make a seal tight argument 👍x2
apparently you found the saturation and constrast sliders and pulled them up as far as you could to make everything look extremely unnatural and oversaturated
It's automated
i did a muffler delete on my base 718 boxster and it sounds meaty. no opf btw. i have a video of it on my channel
It sounds like a v8!
@@gsgcarreviews yeah im planning to get SOUL catless downpipe
texhnically making this a straight piped!!
I'll subscribe and keep an eye out for that one! 👀
The engine off at a stop is easily turned off. There is a button A with a line through it to turn off the stop start.
Thanks for the insight!
couldn’t wait to get my hands on a 718 boxster s that actually performed like a Porsche should. Real hard to beat the value of these. They do need straight pipes.
Exactly the 718 Boxster offers a lot of value. The stock exhaust is perfect for stealth mode
* you showed a spyder, which was not the 981 base model.
Yikes! I edited this at 4am and was very tired lol
car is good but starts at $70k while corvette at $60k with much more power. the car is priced very high and you can barely find one without any option packages which means they pretty much sell at around $80k and up with taxes and other fees adding even more to the pot...
Good point! Given the option with would you choose?
@@gsgcarreviews both cars hold value well but corvettes are much cheaper to maintain and do not require special tools or a special mechanic repair shop.
@@Video-Games-Are-Fun very good point! However I've noticed the c8 corvettes are selling at a premium. Due to the factories shutting down (covid) many c8's are fetching $100k
Mine 2021 Boxster S with all the options was around $97 k. But I got beautiful 2-tone leather, deviated stitching, gorgeous gauges, special exterior color (python green), high technology (VTG turbine) and phenomenal quality. I don’t care about $$, got plenty of it, the car simply gave me what I wanted.
981 is far superior and the new 718 GTS solves the problem with flat 6 return. The Upside is the 4 pot 718's are now cheap.
Agreed. What do you like more about the 981?
@@gsgcarreviews Engine. The old flat 6 has more character. The new 718's has the particle filters which kill the bass, even on their high-end models like the GT4.
nothing can be more hated than fried eggs.
That's a fact of life
the fried omelet porsche years? i thought it was really cool actually. my fav would have to be from the 1988 NARC arcade game, the turbo model that screamed 1980s with that unique spoiler and back view...
@@Video-Games-Are-Fun everything is all in contrast. I'm sure more people will appreciate them once time passes. The price for the egg-eyed Porsche will sky rocket (if they aren't already)
Asian love 718!
Haha I think you onto something, I drive through Arcadia and Monterey Park (high Asian population) and notice a lot of 718's
Good video. The 981(2012 -2016) prices are right with this car. So it has depreciated more quickly. But as you noted it is faster. You can remedy the sound with an aftermarket exhaust, which most car enthusiasts add anyway. I think just like the 996 Turbo, the 718 will bottom out and start to appreciate. With a 4.2 0-60 mph and 12.7 1/4 mile, this car in base form is similar performance wise to the previous generation GTS.
Good points, I'm with you 100%. Just like any Porsche prices for the 718 will flatten out until rising
That’s why ur subscribers 100 something
Sir this is a Wendys
@@gsgcarreviews I have cayman 718 2018 model it’s too good better than mustang gt 😂
@@hashifmohammed807 it's a gorgeous ride man. It's better looking than most cars on the road
Is that a Subaru WRX?
Hahaha I can't see one but I hear it
Only people who don't know what they are talking about hate the 718 Boxster. It has 10/10 from Car and Driver... Me thinks this is a click bait headline.
Lol you may be right
V6? no H6
Right
Nobody hates the 718
Comparing the blogs ive read with the comments here, I'd say the consensus is in the middle
DAMPING not DAMPENING. No part of the suspension involves the sprinkling of water.
You've made your point clear
@@gsgcarreviews Sorry, man, a little harshly worded, I realize now. It's just that it's one of my pet peeves.
It's a really good video.
Haha it's no problem, my mind thinks faster than I speak so I make a lot of mistakes. I appreciate the feedback!
The main feature of this abomination is: Porsche ripped you off, for stealing 2 cylinders. A Porsche is not about what you thing. This thing KILLED THE BOXSTER!! Nobody bought it! EVERYbody hated it, except for a few poor souls who cannot afford a flat six anymore, because the GTS costs now 50k€ more than originally. They doubled the price for the real one.
The 718 is not the real thing. It has lost all of what the Boxster was about.
Haha I'd slightly disagree! It's a beauty of a beast that will go up in value as people see beyond the 2 cylinders
You obviously know very little about your and the 981. You made a few factual errors.
I never claimed to know it all but I appreciate feedback and I'm receptive to learn. Please list the "factual errors"
@@gsgcarreviews for example if you own a porsche, are a car enthusiast and are doing a boxster video on 718 and 981, you should at least not call the flat 6 a V6. I actually have a 981 but i think the 718/982 is still a brilliant car and i have no issue with the flat 4's sound
@@odinikita4821 I didn't call the flat 6 a v6? I speak fast so it may have been misinterpreted. Nevertheless I'd have to confirm and edit that out.
And that's awesome! I like the 718 as well - it's an unbelievable machine.
But don't judge the content of the video for its' title, it may be slightly click bait -ish to gather a larger audience. I brought up the 981 because AT THE TIME Porsche was getting heat for their decisions. In retrospect these cars have increased in financial value and customer appreciation
