cayman is a great car... and is more expensive... and is no fun to mod - aftermarket prices are 2-3 times as expensive... and it is really no fun when it breaks, with the engine in the middle replacing an alternator or steering pump is 4-5 hours labor!!!

buy the base sport z, spend $1,400 on a carbonetic diff and be happy


I agree……….and in addition, the Cayman/Boxster is really a disposable motor should something happen!
My 16 year old niece drives a Mazda 3 GT and loves it, so it cannot be all bad!
