Not if you buy the S. also, put Xenons, Satnav and heated sports seats into your base Cayman and you get a difference of between $45K and $50K delivered. And forget negotiating a discount, those Porsche dealers will keep a car for over a year rather than discount it. Makes the diamond trade look like a free market.
In Canada we pay through the nose for the name. Compare basic cars and the base FRS is closer to one third the cost of a base stripper Cayman, if such a beast ever gets to Canada. That means you can buy it, drive it for three years and throw it away and still come out ahead of buying the Porsche.
As for delivering the driving experience the FRS/BRZ delivers and is quieter and smoother riding. Bonus: you can use 100% of the capabilities of the BRZ on your drive to work. Not so the Cayman. This is close to a no brainer purchase decision.
