I'm looking for the most enjoyable car with decent exterior+interior.

In my opinion,
Cayman R>Exige S>audi TTRS>e92 M3

Personally, I like
light weight
manual gearbox
mid-engine
AWD=RWD
NA=turbocharged>supercharged



p.s I wish I could buy Z06...:mad:

I'm selling mine...

Wait... aventador is so much sexier.

If looks is all she has going for her, run like a mofo, otherwise it won't MATTER what car you get, she'll end up owning it, lol

If used is ok, Audi R8 or last model NSX.

If new, Cayman S - unless it's just a toy, I think the R gives up too much. Or Boxtser S.

Hard to beat mid-engine :D

I would say cayman s, bmw m3, or TT RS



Or an Equus! :ugh2:

Yeah without question the Porsche Cayman S/R; Boxster S/ Spider. These are easily amongst the best drivers cars in the World. 2nd choice would probably be a E92 M3.

Now if your just into #'s for whatever reason I suppose you might be able to find a used GT-R which is a great #'s car. There's also the Vette of course as well. Audi TT-RS is another good #'s car. Not may type of car but some seem to love em for the 0-60 times, etc.

As far as a daily driven car that had to be a manual (I vote GTR as well), I would choose an E92 M3. That motor is amazing, the styling is great, and the interior is plain gorgeous. You'll get the excitement of a well performing car with every single luxury available.

(I too bought a 370z because the pre-owned E90 M3 is still too damn expensive.)

This thread is crying out for a poll question.

I really like the cayman but I think it's way overpriced. No one is going to notice the porsche or bmw, not that I'm saying you want the attention. I wanted the cayman r but decided that spending $50k more and having a car I won't get tired of in a few years is best for me, nsx or r8 it is.

Well considering the Cayman S starts at ~ 20K than a 911 and the only thing sacrificed really is a bit of straight line acceleration and tiny back seats. Otherwise the Cayman is fundamentally Porsches best set up car (mid-engine > full diaper).

Hell I would love a base 265hp Cayman but I'm not prepared to spend at least 51K on a new one. I don't think it's over priced or anything because if anything it's a bargain for what you get. Sure there are plenty of quicker cars but barely any which are as great to drive.

997.1 gt3 are in the 80-90k range, rs fetch a bit more they are in the upper 90s to 100k range.

Actually, there are several gt3 in the 70k range.
