    1 WORD : BMW M1 HAHAHA

  2. EmoDKTsuchiya says:

    Its funny how people think the 1M isn’t a proper ‘M’ car when in reality it is the closest thing to the M bible to come in 23 years since the original E30!

    BMW is back baby!

  3. KHAAAAAAAANNN says:

    Porsche should only make the 911 and the occasional ‘Carrera GT’ type hypercar.

    Cars like the Boxster, Cayman and the dreadful Cayenne 4×4 are not proper Porsches imo.

    Nice review.

  5. Image966 says:

    I am trading in my Carrera S in for a Cayman R as we speak. FYI, the Cayman R does come with a limited slip. The R’s balance is perfect.

    Love this guy’s reviews!

    porsche wins on looks

  8. a2002cmacg says:

    Chris Harris drives a car till the wheels fall off.

  9. hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzify says:

    If I was gay, i’d wan’t to marry Chris.

  10. liftedview says:

    I love how there’s no stupid music so you can actually hear what the car sounds like

  11. socratesRAM says:

    The cayman and the 911 realistically should switch places in porsche’s line up. Mid engine cayman= well balanced, great design, but its missing simple attributes that would otherwise make it far more capable than the 911. They didn’t give it a limited slip, and if you take a cayman and 911 with the same engine and limited slip differential, the cayman would easily surpass the 911′s performance specs. I JUST DON’T GET IT!

  13. HENRYHOBBS1 says:

  14. bistro985 says:

  15. FERRARIAVI says:

  16. dartagnanx1 says:

    You rock Chris Harris! Not only do you communicate the fun, excitement and passion with your video presentations, but you somehow manage to do it in your editorials too. You are one of the most effective extant auto journalists. Congratulations. Keep it coming.

  17. souoro says:

  18. EE9Civic says:

    Great review – Always happy to listen to Chris talk about cars.

  19. Vik619 says:

    mate you are a top notch reviewer… very exciting to watch and engaging. keep it up

  20. mantanz says:

    So good to watch a motoring journalist who can actually drive… (though, I do still love Top Gear). Awesome stuff!

  21. MarMPB says:

    Porsche should use the 911 models name to it’s special Caymans, so: Cayman GT3 and Cayman GT3 RS!
    But about the video…which one is quicker around a circuit and which is faster in straight line??

  22. alernest says:

    I think Chris Harris and Tim Schrick are the best car journalists in the world…

  23. dsmdeegen says:

    favourite journalist. very unbiased opinions.

  24. GMJBullseye says:

    @MrBazpoker

    You can’t compare BMW with audi, like you cant compare mercedes with volkswagen.

    Great Car. Love the fact there’s an Aer Lingus Airbus A332 heading for Dublin at 9:25 in the video. Still. Great car. If i had the money i’d get a Gallardo. Then again. If i had the money i’d probably get a 911 Turbo too!

  41. strek0655 says:

    @lufthansaprofipilot Porsche 944? Are you JOKING? The 944 is a badly constructed, soft, poor mans porsche. If you said 911 993 i would agree, and yes i have driven both the 996 and 993, and had a ride on the 944.

  42. arneduym says:

    @lufthansaprofipilot lol i’m not even allowed to drive a car, let stand a porsche xD

  43. lufthansaprofipilot says:

    @arneduym bad construction. come to germany and learn how to drive 120 mph on governmental roads ;) .. or buy a real porsche 944 with a front motor.

  44. wowzinger says:

    @arneduym ya easy fix though is get better suspension this car suspension isnt as good as it needed to be for a car of this speed they sacraficed performance for comferte

  45. The1997ChevyMan says:

    lolls on all your videos, on the highway theres a 18 wheeler next to you.

  46. slurpy911 says:

    @crysisdood So your poor ass is obviously not buying any of these cars so why do you care?

  47. crysisdood says:

    @slurpy911 jealous because of the way he’s bashing on someone else car? i dont think so.

    ur jealous for something that ignorant

  48. slurpy911 says:

    @crysisdood shut ur mouth. Your just jealous he has a better job than you hater.

  49. crysisdood says:

    anyone else think its not right for this guy to be ripping someone else’s potential car.
    if i were to buy a car, i wouldnt want anyone doing this to it.

  50. CrazeKillen says:
