After seeing what used Caymans go for and driving a 911 and Boxster, I might seriously have to consider one. I'm very familiar with driving a mid-engine platform after owning 6 MR2's, so I should take to it like a fish in water. The power/weight ratio is better than the BRZ/FR-S, and it should have better brakes, too. I've always wanted a decent P-car, so this is tempting me, especially because we have an '07 Cayman for ~$31k at my Porsche/Audi dealer, and I'll get a break on parts/labor so the cost of ownership should be less.
My biggest concern is now this engine issue which has been brought up. I'll have to discuss it with our Porsche techs and get a couple solid opinions. The other downsides would of course be cost of modifications relative to the BRZ/FR-S, and the lack of options (I want a BRZ Limited with all the toys).
Look for some feedback on here when I go out and test-drive the Cayman sometime next week!
