2013 Porsche Boxster S Manual - Was the 981S the Best Generation? (POV Binaural Audio)

987.2 ❤

Still on the fence for transmission but I'm actively looking for a 981 cayman s. Will need to find some test drives

Regarding the annoying fact that the radio comes on every time the car is started, just select “AUX” …..no more radio at ignition on!

I’ve had mine from 2012 Perfect for the roads in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

You got the right colour ! Love my 981 GTS Cayman in racing yellow. A true drivers car that turns head and has ageless styling.

I've just bought a 981 GT4, and if the car is in sport, it will auto blip. Surprised this isn't the same on the Cayman S

It’s crazy that it the steering wheel is starting to look strange without 100 buttons and knobs on it

Thank you, I like small sport cars….Boxster is a great option.

autoblip is for babies

This car in yellow literally looks like a toy... Love it ❤️

100s of videos later, no one has ever mentioned the umbrella holder. Wow!

Love that you are giving the Boxster it's due credit. I own many Porsches and the Boxster is still one of the most satisfying to drive with the top down and tearing up a good canyon road. It's a shame many people will pass it up as "poor man's 911" and will never really know how great and balanced Porsche's mid-engined cars are. Nice review, thanks!

Maybe pushing the nob that controls the volume turns
it on and off.

The steering wheel still looks goofy as hell but the flat six makes up for all sins. The 981 GTS is the one to get though.

I own a 2.7 and it does indeed sound bananas

A steering wheel with NO buttons 👌🏼🤩

981 GTS with PTV, PASM, PSE, yes best sound and perfect power to weight balance.

Do you have to fold the visors forward to pull the top down?

Great vid...thanks. Glad it's a real "drivers" car. Seems like not many drivers are left....and playing with tech crap has sadly become the norm. Keep bringing the vids.

Lets face it the gears are to long

They are holding the high price because of natural aspiration. But the truth is steering is first generation EPS, lousy and does not justify the extra price people are asking. But rich Porsche people and sound logic was never their concern.

I like these kinds of cars where you can use the entire power band. So many new cars are too cheat-code fast nowadays.

Looks like an AI generated video

what more do you want with a car like this. the handling, the sound, the looks 🥵

That handbrake gets me everytime, until last night when I got it right finally the first time

These are SO quiet without the PSE. That option is a must

Correction the best is the 981GT4, proud owner here, very overlooked IMO

This cars for sale near me👀

Nice review. Any chance of a GTS 4.0 review?

great review, I had a 2014 Cayman S manual, remains my fave car of all time
I have a GTS 4.0 now
981S gives you 90% of the experience for 60% of the money

I have the 2.7 Base and it's an absolute blast to drive. I don't understand all the hate the Boxster gets

Nice stuff man! I think the Cayman 981 GTS is still the best of that generation, but I enjoyed the racing yellow interior! Very pilot esque

Man i really want one now. I know that if you fit an xpipe its sounds amazing so, i guess i'll better start saving up 🥲

Only car better than a Honda. 🎉

Racing yellow 981 with yellow Tachymeter will always be my dream. I have a all black 981 S, which is nice but it’s not that astonishing 😮‍💨

You’re slightly wrong. The 981 Boxster was the 4th generation, not the 3rd.

The generations are 986, 987.1, 987.2, & then 981.

981 Boxster S is definitely my favorite car I've driven. I would get one in a heart beat. It's easy to drive but feels nice and low and sporty... I could daily it but also could take it to the back roads and have a blast. It does it all.

Needs round headlight and is underpowered. Cramped for taller drivers. I sold my 986 because of similar reasons. Still, a fun car while I owned it.

We have a Boxter and have had numerous throughout the years in our fam… ALWAYS had all the buttons on the wheel. No offense to ur preference, to me this wheel is quite awkward looking. Almost like tht it’s naked.

Sometimes we only learn to appreciate the good stuff after we lose it...nowadays, looking back at what Porsche offered 10 years ago, it was so interesting...

Hey! Can we get a Hyundai genesis coupe bk2 like underdog budget sport car?

Making it hard for me to sell my 981 now 😢😢

I love my 987.1 Boxster S. Used mid engined Porsches with flat six engines all offer exotic car vibes for reasonable money. 986, 987 and 981 are all amazing in their own way. Can't go wrong. Just do your research and maintain them.

I really like this spec! Great car!

Holmes, weren't you dissing the 991.1's electric power steering? Is it different than in the Boxster (981.1)?

you have to push and hold the volume button down and turn off the whole system. otherwise it just mutes the sound. when you turn on the car again the music comes on blaring. took me 5 years to figure that out.

So mellow yellow!

987. Says the 987 Base owner
