From what i read the BMW is faster but overall what would you all pick? i was looking at the elise and deciede to go against it and stick with the porsche but as a last miniute thought i figured id throw this up in the air.... Plus i was only looking at the base cayman around 55k and the Mcoupe is the same 55k 56k. HELP lol

 

the cayman s and the z4m are about the same in terms of straightline. cayman s starts to pull away by about a second at 100 mph and just pulls away from there. the z4m is not as pretty as its kinda a fugly car, just cant get over the looks. on the track, the cayman s will eat the z4m every time given equal drivers. the cayman is the way to go. period.

 

Cayman S > Z4M COupe > Cayman

 

i would chose cayman S as winner as well.
the z4m is however a very sweet car, if if was like in the mid 40s, it would be a no brainer IMHO. but with prices being much closer the caymen it is.

 

i would say some reading is in order for you. here are some starter links:

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...sche_cayman_s/

also google boxster vs. z4 m or something similar.

what i take out of all the reviews i have seen it is that the z4 is more fun to drive - one reviewer called it the german viper. the cayman is easier to drive. price, option for option, z4 is $10k+ cheaper. just about every publication i have read puts the Cayman ahead of the z4 but you also have to consider the price.

i am in the market for a used boxster s or z4m vert or m3 vert and at least with boxsters, the prices seem to equal out which means that boxsters dont seem to keep their value as well but it may be due to less average options.

i am still struggling with a decision but i am leaning towards a bmw mainly because of two things: 1. free maintenance (i calculated out that over 4 years the boxster will cost about $5k more in maintenance); 2. i am completely turned off by porsche service.

looks are very subjective but i prefer the z4 m vert over a boxster. the z4 m coupe vs. cayman are about a draw, i equally dislike them.

hope this helps a bit.

 

i wouldn't waste money on a Cayman. get the S if u decide on the Cayman otherwise the Z4M is a better car imo.

 

Yes it did help thank you for the input and the links.....

 

S54B32 engine is a *******, much better than the Cayman donk, something to think about. Apart from that both awesome cars kinda hard to go wrong..

 

Just to throw it in there but if the z4 roadster is anything to go by the z4 coupe will not hold its value nearly as well as a Boxster or Cayman

 

Have you considered a used Cayman S instead of a base Cayman? I got mine certified and less than a year old for about the price of an average new base Cayman. It's the best way to go.

 

i went with the cayman s ill post some pics thanks every1

 

Great choice! Congratulations! You will not regret it. It's a great car.

 

My Choice

 

I agree with Gabriel and Arling except on the 3rd choice
1 Cayman S
2 M coupe
3 Boxster

 

cayman s is soooo sexy. everytime i see one i just love the way they look. so sleek. the cars styling is done right! performance is damn good too.
