Default EddieX Spyder Review


Basic review but good for looking at the car dreaming of your own.

Agree pretty amateur review - his follow up video is even worse. Owner reviews the car after driven only 98 miles. Nothing substantive.

Hah, I didn't go look for the follow up he was mentioning.

Chalk looks good with the red top. That antenna nub is starting to bother me. Couldn't they have found another spot?!

Yes I watch the most of the videos just to see the cars. Agree bad spot for antenna.

lol. I’m the owner. Yeah. I just got the car two weeks before Eddie came back to Michigan and one of the weeks the car was getting PPF.

It’s now up to 700 miles. Still haven’t gone passed the break in period so can’t say how the car really is yet. But again it’s a 718 Boxster with more power and a semi manual top.

Having owned a 981 Boxster Spyder, 991.1 911’s and 991.2 GT3 manual the new 718 BS feels like an old glove.

I have a 992 C4S Cabriolet as well and it feels very modern in comparison.

The 718 BS is just a fun car to drive. That is my owner review so far.

always liked Eddie’s review, not professional/expert alike but also nothing flashy very down to earth

So you are the man Alec! I really like how you do cars: passionate yet not being overly obsessive, looking forward to the 765lt!
