JayEmm on cars takes a 987.2 CS for a spin and almost has an unfortunate incident.



Discusses the car but don't agree with his comments regarding the steering. Each to his own I guess!

Man alive, that was seriously scary and very upsetting !!





















(and that's just his shirt) hehe






As for what the woman in the Rangie thought she was doing ? Pretty obvious I'd have thought : Texting or posting on Instabook or Facetwit etc, or just on the phone and not concentrating on her driving.
Though every chance she was doing her hair/makeup in the rear view mirror ...

What time? I can't sit through 10 mins of JM enjoying his own voice (don't they all?).

Unfortunately his shirt is visible all through the video ... eek

The "incident" is at 4 mins 18 sec.

I like JayEmm but he's shot himself in the foot re steering...that example must have had bad geo or tyres

...skip to 04:40 here in hi CR review..."Delicious, delicate hydraulic steering"

Looks to be fitted with Michelins, so I'd guess it's running a shonky geo set up that hasn't been adjusted in ages or is poorly adjusted and/or has been clattered down a few potholes into the bargain ...

I've never driven a cayman s but having watching some of his other videos I'm convinced he doesn't understand steering feel, he pretty much always get's it wrong.

most car youtubers are just winging it as they drive....just saying whatever comes into their minds and often contradict themselves multiples times in one video.

now that i think about it, they're about as useful as a financial advisor.

On the plus side. they're a lot cheaper than most FA's, and they don't actually want anything off you, other than your undivided attention for 20 minutes smile

Steering might have something to do with he's testing it with a broken front coil spring! Currently shows as a major defect to repair with no MOT.

Is this true?!

That might have something to do with it!

Good review but a tad odd, given that the steering and feel is a stand-out feature of the car.

Lol. I'm certainly no fan but if this is true then he really is an idiot.



Not a huge fan of the you-tubers in general but there are some good ones such as Harry's Garage, etc.

He tries too hard to be a Clarkson clone and just sounds stupid, as for the so called review I'am amazed I watched it all.

Didn't think the steering had any feel...what were the tyres flat or something...what a rocket.

Someone should give him a good 987.2 and a 981 to drive to see if he can feel the difference in the steering...black and white springs to mind.

He's driven enough cars to know the difference between them. His criticism of the steering was probably for that particular car rather than the model in general? Could have old hard tyres on it or a piss poor geo.
