BRZ limited with PP(performance package) before taxes is around $28K

Pros
-cheaper
-new
-has some better features like keyless go (which I really like)
-less costly to repair (I assume)
-less likely to need repair (I assume)
-back seat (small but it's something). I hardly used the back seat of the M3 but they were much larger than the BRZ space but overall the back seat area is a slight plus for the BRZ

Cons
-less power (not that I care a lot but it's not like either one is fast, but the BRZ probably feels much slower this is just a guess on my part)
-less prestigious (not that I care, but just that the Porsche is an arrival car and the BRZ is not really)
-May be more noise in the cabin (not sure)

Cayman
pros/cons pretty much the exact same in reverse (more money, more power, nicer interior etc.)

One pro would be the Cayman *may* depreciate less since it was $70K now is $40K however it can depreciate less but still may lose more money on depreciation.

for example if BRS is worth $14K in 5 years that means I lost half or $14K (for example), if the Cayman is worth $26K in 5 years it only lost 35% but it still lost the same amount $14K because it's more expensive plus likely the Cayman will cost more to keep running in those 5 years.
