As long as it works, I found to my surprise that I *greatly* prefer this! Check oil without popping the hood or getting hands dirty.

For me, the BRZ offered 90% of the fun of the Cayman for 1/3 the purchase price, and maybe 1/5 to 1/10 of the ongoing costs (not 90% of the performance 'numbers' or track times, but to my butt, 90% of the simple seat-of-pants fun on the street). I'll take that deal in a New York minute.
For me, it's the other way around, the Cayman has about 90% of the seat-of-pants fun on the street vs. the BRZ!
