In my case, I currently have a Porsche 718 Spyder as my fancy sports car. However, I wanted a cheaper and metal roofed sports car for daily driver duties. Something that I wouldn’t worry about leaving in the grocery store parking lot, and would be less worried about damaging if I track it. In the 987.1 family, the 2006-2008 2.7L models are pretty solid, though bore scoring is a concern on the 3.4L M97 engine used by the 2006-2008 Cayman S and 2007-2008 Boxster S. I decided to get a 2022 BRZ instead of another 987 because I wanted something new and different from what I have owned and currently own, like having CarPlay, the peace of mind a warranty brings, and the practicality of folding rear seats.
Many people on Rennlist are considering a new BRZ or GR86 as either a cheaper sports car to go alongside their Porsche, or to replace aging entry level models (944 and 986).
