Re: BRZ v Cayman S, here's a better argument...
FWIW I owned a 2006 Cayman S, bought used from my brother. I could / can afford it just fine. There are a number of small reasons why I've sold it on and I pick up my BRZ tomorrow, but make no mistake, the Cayman S is a
much better car. I'll concede that my BRZ experience comes from only one test drive...which was enough for me to buy one that day...and I can already see where and why the two cars compare. But the feel behind the wheel of the Cayman S is something else. And while I'm not all about the hp ratings of my sports cars (I own a 912E for chrissakes!), I can say without a doubt that it makes a huge difference in why the CS is "better". It just does everything so well...and sacrifices
nothing, IMO.
