[QUOTE=orthojoe;925471]I've got the the roadster version of the cayman (ie boxster) and will say that I love both of the cars.

Things I like better about the BRZ:
1) The steering wheel. Absolutely fantastic
2) Short shifter (my spyder was not equipped with the optional short shifter)
3) better gas mileage
4) better daily driver

Things I like better about the boxster spyder
1) exotic looking and rare
2) flat 6 sound. Nothing beats it
3) Performance.
4) better weekend/track car

Both are fun to drive on the street and the track. There's no doubt that the boxster/cayman outperforms the BRZ in every way possible, but on the street and everyday driving it's really not that important. People like to bag on the BRZ interior, but I honestly think it's a great interior. Deviated stitching everywhere, great seats, good layout and positioning. I don't get out of the Porsche, sit in the BRZ and say "gee, this interior sucks". No way. If I had to choose between a cayman and BRZ, it would be a Cayman without batting an eye. However, both have a distinctive and important role to play in the automotive world.


Thanks for this! Although in my neighborhood...the boxster isnt rare...at all lol. In fact on my way home i saw 4 including the 2013 which is undoubtly a beautiful car. Acutally i was driving behind one the other day and more people were breaking their necks to look at the BRZ than the boxster lol but im sure most places thats not the case and even more sure in 3 years when this car becomes more common it definitely wont be the case. Either way...good write up and good taste in cars.:happy0180:
