I don't care for the overall look. The nose is nice, the rear isn't. No sexy bulges. No hot chick curves.
Nope. Still a chick car. And way too expensive to boot.
Of course, I respect your choices for yourself. Just no way for me. I still find I would need to spend at least twice as much to get anything I'd even come close to liking better.
And the OP is talking used, which is definitely a chick car. Though again, respecting his own taste buds and all that.
In the end he needs to find something that makes him smile, not me, or us.

Huh. So because the car doesn't have an enormous *** and weigh 500 lbs more then it should its a chick car? That is some sound reasoning.
The z is a great value but its not a p car in the feel department. Buying used helps with cayman and boxsters as they get hit hard initially then level out. Do I like Porsche parts costs? Of course not but the running costs are very similar in fact.
I like our z r for what it is but it's a piggy and it can not touch the steering feel of a mid engined masterpiece. The wife DDs a base 987.1 cayman and given the choice between keeping only one the Z goes. I drive it too
On public roads power comes second to control and the base 2.7 is plenty quick enough to ring out the flat 6 to exotic sounds without speeding too much. The z gets top down duties with a pedestrian 6 that is saved only by the good transmission. The engine lacks soul. I wish it has a strait 6 of old but they are a dying breed.
I am not at all unhappy with the z for what it is: I simply cannot blindly join a love fest for it when the other vehicle is better in the driving feel categories.
