Favourite Roads in a 2013 Porsche Boxster S

Many of you ask me about the roads where I film and test drive the cars for my reviews. The german ' Odenwald ' (http://goo.gl/3kBcA) is literally flooded with hundreds of beautiful country roads and a paradise for bikers and drivers. While drivng the new Porsche Boxster S 981 PDK last year, I had the camera mounted to the dash to get some footage of a few roads that I always drive with my test cars. It was raining back and forward during this week, so the roads were wet. Perfect conditions to road-test a sportscar like the new Boxster ...

Boxster or Cayman: Which would YOU have ?

I will be testing the new Cayman S in a few weeks and would like to get YOUR opion: Would you rather have the Cayman or go for the cheaper and more versatile Boxster ? Leave me your opinion in the comments and I might share a few of them at the end of my review of the Cayman S. Thank you in advance !

2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S: Sound, Accelerations & Autobahn Drive

Today I took a quick test drive in the new 2014 Jaguar F-Type roadster. This particular car is the V8 S model and makes 495 horsepower ! I hope a proper review will follow, but I don't know if / when I can get a test car from Jaguar. Post your questions in the comments !

' Thank you for a great video. This was the video review that tipped me over the edge for ordering one of these. Since then I've enjoyed watching your other review videos - there's something refreshing and honest in them that's missing from the "packaged for entertainment" approach taken by the big car shows. Hope all the car manufacturers realise the impact you're having on real world car sales. Keep up the good work. '

' A very nice review from someone who is clearly passionate about cars. I like the fact that you pay attention to ergonomics and build quality, something that in my opinion german car brands have always been ahead in. You represent the 'normal guy' pretty well, which I really like more than professional car shows where the presentors make so much money that they get removed from reality a little. Keep it up! '

' Reviewing is not an easy job.. thank you for your total honesty. '

'Great review, Guido! You really give the shiny pro-productions of the high dollar magazines a hard competition. Not to mention the wannabe-bloggers. Can't wait for the next season! Thank you!'

' Guido - I think your reviews are probably the most reliable and authentic on the web. '

' Very insightful review. You transcend the figures and stats that anyone can spout and convey the emotional essence of the car. The Boxster is a strong contender for my next auto purchase. Well done, Sir ! '

' Once again brilliant! 13 minutes and not even for a second i got bored. Such a great review. Such car passion you have. A work that makes envy to many professional journalists. Continue this amazing work. '

'Guido, that was a great review. Your camera placements, visions, and overall editing is fantastic.'

'Class video and comprehensive, intelligent review of a great car - well done!'

'Excellent review that nicely mirrors the experience many drivers have...'

'An honest and informative video by a man who is obviously an enthusiast. '

' I must say, great job on the voice over! I've not really noticed you do that before, but I did this time and realize that you have a really professional voice! I really can't believe how far you have come. The videos are getting better and better! '

' Lovely video and great comments. And in German accent, super!
I have a gen 2 Carrera 2, had it 2 years now but still every day it makes me feel so good. It's just so much fun to drive, nothing like it. '

'What an excellent video. Honestly Jaguar should consider using parts of it for a commercial!'

'Mate, your reviews are awesome and I like your sense of humor (even though it is German ;)'

'I've really enjoyed watching your car videos, your enthusiasm and knowledge of the cars is really infectious! '

'Awesome video and very professional as always. Good job man!'

'Deine Test sind echt genial! genau das will der youtube-nutzer sehen ! alles dabei ! Super !'

' It's too bad that you won't have access to even higher priced cars, because your reviews contain much details, which are really important to car-addicts. You are also conveying that passion for driving, what one can only see in persons who don't drive fast cars every day. Hopefully your channel will get more fame so we can see further reviews! '

'Very nice review, thank you.. and perfectly spoken English.. what a gentlemen.'

'Really great review and I like your honesty in all the videos you make.'

'One of the first good video's I found with the BMW 525d !'

' Another informative and outstanding automotive review - but would you expect anything less from TheGetawayer? '

' I really like your videos man... i really like the fact that you spent some time talking about the DSG.'

' 1A !!! It is the best review of this car I have seen in the web. Man, you have done a great job and I thank you for it. It is making the waiting for mine a lot shorter (mid July 2011... '

' You've done a very good and sensible review! the best way to evaluate a car.'

' Great video. You offer way more information in your videos than any other channel does on youtube. Excellent work. You've just earned yourself a new subscriber. '

'good reveiw pal . glad you did it in english !'

' Excellent review Guido. Thank you for producing such a detailed review online. The car gods are with you! '

'Great review. The car is really underrated and you show that is a really cool car. And as we know your favorite car is the Porsche 911, so it has much more meaning. And i'm tired to see everyone talking about how good are pdk's or dsg, and each time more, they are forgetting that a proper manual gearbox give's you twice the fun, the excitment and pleasure of driving. It's so much more rewarding. '

' Thank you for your review. I was so tempted to buy this car but I have decided not to, it is just too overpriced.'

' Keep those reviews rolling (blurring) down the Autobahn!'

'Great Review! You make some awesome videos.'

'Just discovered your reviews and I love them - excellent to get a German buyer's perspective here in the states.'

' I check out all your reviews after you nailing the Boxster review. You take the words right out of my mouth when reviewing Porsches.'

'Another cool video from TheGetawayer - nice job!'

'Sounds so great mate ! I can feel your big passion for cars !'

'this is a great vid!, i learned soo much from this !
thanks alot!, keep making good videos like these!'

'Nice review. I like reviews of real ppl now not someone paid to say good or bad things about the car. Nice review I wana see more'
'Nice review, just getting one as my company car and yous is probably one of the best reviews out there...plus I liked you descriptions of the villages etc...by the way, I think the roofs on the village houses are called 'thatched'...made of straw! Great vid :)'

'Better than any car reviews on Top Gear - and better than anything else on YouTube - nice work!!

'You have DONE ABSOLUTELY GREAT GREAT REVIEW mate!!! ) I really appreciate your work. Peace from Kosovo.'

'Atta boy Guido! Well done! I observe constant improvement - I guess You could be a professional car tester in TV or radio without any problems.'

' Keep making your vids man it is great to see an indie out there doing his or her thing, never sell out...'

' I have to go back 40 years to have owned a vehicle as outstanding for its time as the DS3. That was a Peugeot 204. Reminds me of the poem "rarely, rarely comest thou, O Spirit of Delight"!

' 'Hello, I just bought a 997.2 Carrera 4 with PDK and Sport Paket Plus. I really like it ! I was advised by Guido. He is right: you need the manual and/or Sport mode to drive crisp and sporty. D mode is good however for daily driving.'
