oh god, give me a break. I don't think the Cayman is that great. I would put it on par with the e46 M3. the "beautiful engine" is too weak for my tastes and the cabin is quite a bit cramped. sure the steering and balance are there, but it's not a true "automobile" compared to the M3.

however, if you get it with the god awful tiptronic, then I wouldn't even call it an "automobile". come on, how many auto sports "automobiles" start in 2nd gear consistently?
Not sure why it would "strike a nerve". I owned both cars and its just my opinion. Its the internet, you'll find a lot of opinions out there. I bought the M3 thinking that I would really love it, in the end I just wasn't really happy with it. I'm very happy now with the Cayman. Like I said, its just my opinion. Many members agree with me and I'm sure some others will disagree. Buy the car that makes you happy.

There are times, like last night coming home from dinner, where I enjoyed the comfort/quietness of my S4. Moonroof open, stereo on, and relaxing on the way home from a nice meal. If I lay into the boost, the car switches to beast mode, but I like the duality. I know the chassis and feel of the Cayman are amazing; I'm concerned if it will be too much for my only car.
I thought the same when I got mine, I put 13K on mine in the first year and never looked back. Even on Seattle weather its never been a problem. Dry cleaning can be a pain but thats it

For less than 40k for a Cayman S seems like a steal...Wonder what a non-S is running..
