    Rented this car on Turo. Had 130k miles. Check engine light on, abs light on, PSM light on.
    Still ran like a champ. Hit 120 with ease on the freeway. Third gear in this car is just so addicting.

    I love how you can always gauge a cars speed by his facial expressions and sounds he makes, it's perfect because you can't really get a sense of a cars speed through a video and most reviewers keep this straight face when hauling ass and I'm just like "is the car even fun for you?" He reacts exactly how I would to a fast car so it's perfect for me😂

    I love the Cayman and will definitely purchase one someday. I don't think you can do any better in the mid-engine, RWD segment. It's the ultimate back road driver's car on a budget if you go used.

    Great review! This car was recommended by a friend as I have been looking for a drivers car. Your opinion seems to be on point with virtually every other review, these are excellent cars. I test drive one tomorrow and I must say I am looking forward to it. Take care, and keep the good reviews coming. :-)

    @mikaAvril Před 8 lety +6

    I had this car for a couple of years and I have to say, it is the most fun to drive car in the market. Easy, powerful enough (feels like a Porsche, unlike the 2.7 version) and FUN!!

    • @obi-wankenobi7160
      @obi-wankenobi7160 Před 5 lety

      The 2.7 is just as good, test drove both and went with 2.7 for long term reliability.. No bore scoring issues. Extra power would be nice sure but this is a momentum car and all the major YT car guys say you don't need the 3.4 unless your a track star..

    @qikqbn77 Před 9 lety +2

    Keep up the great work! You are a car guy and it's great to see you having fun test driving lots of different cars. I like that you are "positive" reviewer. Too many haters out there already ;^) Glad to see you really enjoy Porsches. I get the same reaction from passengers when I floor the gas pedal too ;^) The Cayman S is a great sports car and it's great to see how you can appreciate it even after a very short drive. My only suggestion would be to find a good canyon road so you can really explore the handling and get a buddy to record more exterior shots going through the corners. Longer drives through the curves is where these cars really begin to shine. great job!

    Great review! I'm in the market for a 2007+ Cayman or Cayman S. What I really liked about your review, was the driving in winter/snow conditions. Glad to see that the car handles really well, being a mid-engine car. Can you tell us, what winter tires did this one have on? I'm planning on buying it as a daily driver, and being in the North-East US I would want to put on winter tires.
    Thanks!

    It’s definitely a great car. Honestly, if you get a 2006 Cayman it will do the same job as some of the newer years. You can always upgrade the stereo because of the kits that are available. Anyway, love your reviews and certainly enjoyed this one!

  • @tommymician121
    @tommymician121 Před 3 lety +1

    Great review! I know this question is extremely late, but do you think this car is more fun to drive overall than a turbocharged ND1 Miata (that also has a upgraded suspension and brakes)? I have a budget of 25k for the most fun sports car I can and just can't pick which one... Thanks!

  • @juliusjackson1549
    @juliusjackson1549 Před 9 lety

    Great review! It's so genuine and all the smiles made me smile too haha. Would you recommend getting the 2006 or jump to the 2009's? The 2009's have new engines, the new PDK Transmissions, and just a bunch of modern upgrades. However, the PDK is automatic, and I'm guessing you'd almost force me to get a manual for a porsche. I have a 2012 c250 sport sedan (it's alright) which has many modern tech upgrades i enjoy; so i'm not sure if I should pay more and get the newer model. Thanks and I'll definitely subscribe!

      Julius, this may be the best comment you've ever been given in your life. I used to have a 2006 Cayman S. The first corner you take your reaction is 'holy shit I'm in a supercar. Either get 2006-2008 Cayman S with a radio adapter to get Bluetooth. Or buy a 2013-2016 Cayman S or Boxster S

    been enjoying your vids for awhile now. The acceleration runs in all your videos and comments on steering feel and handling are great. Like the new editing and notes you have. Also like that not everything is good - saying negative things about cars too. The summary/thoughts after driving the car for awhile to get a feel for the car is a nice touch. subscribed.

    Hey dude, I watch your channel a lot and love your vids but I just wanted to give some constructive criticism. Every other motor journalist on youtube give vague descriptions and things that mean nothing to me, and I feel like you're going down that path. Unlimited praise and you don't give anything of substance that gives me more insight into the car. For example " Its very communicative" A better description might say that its so sharp, the throttle is almost twitchy. Or tell us how does it communicate? Does the steering vibrate or if it lets you know how the road is going? Or instead of saying the centre console is good quality, maybe let us know if that silver on the dash is aluminium or plastic? Or even use your mustang's & Brz's shifter as a contrast to give a clearer picture. Or if it's as good as every other journalist says it is? Regular people, we want to watch your reviews to gain actual insight and not hear things like " Its a driver's car" or "its so well balanced" or " its so good to drive". We know this. Additionally, having owned the mustang and brz, you can use those cars to contrast the cayman and let us know if it satisfies more in someway or if the journalists just over hype the car. Not meaning to be harsh! And its just my opinion, love your vids!!

    • @romulus_

  • @dirtbikejohnny
    @dirtbikejohnny Před 9 lety

    Matt do you have any input on the Cayman S vs the Cayman with the 2.7L? I guess same with the Boxter as well. A comparison review video would be cool! Always a fan of your reviews and they have helped me in the past make purchasing decisions.

    • @leeporter2078
      @leeporter2078 Před 9 lety

      I have a cayman s and did look at the 2.7 and 3.4s before purchasing mine .if you can get to test drive both you will notice a huge difference in power in every gear with the "s" .power seems to be held back to the higher revs in the 2.7 version .i would recommend a custom re map on the car once purchased on both versions but more so on the 2.7 as it will be needed to make the most out of the 2.7 that it has

    • @dirtbikejohnny
      @dirtbikejohnny Před 9 lety

      I appreciate your input Lee. Coming from a 2012 Civic SI I love cars that rev and make power up high. As this is a big purchase for me, I do not want to have any regrets to my decision so I thank you for your input and will be sure to really make sure I buy the right one. I am leaning toward the S just because I do not want to have to think "I wish I would have spent the little extra money for a lot more car"
