1. 2007 Cayman S
2. BRZ
3. ???

My buddy wants to test drive 3 cars before deciding which to buy but is having trouble coming up with a 3rd candidate. Coming from an Explorer this will be his first sports car I believe. He wants it for daily driving and time attack tracking a couple times a year.

His Criteria:
- RWD (or AWD)
- Good handling
- < $40,000

NOT interested in:
- Miata
- S2000
- RX8
- 370z
- Gen coupe
- Mustang
- Corvette
- BMW

He's test driven a 07 Cayman S and was really impressed by it especially by it's power. Only (minor) negative criticism he had about it was that the passenger footwell slants inward at an angle that prevented him from sitting with both feet straight so a long drive might get a little cramped for a passenger.

He hasn't test driven a BRZ yet.

His friends time attack with a 2011 Camero V6 and a 2010 WRX STI. He hasn't ruled either of those out but he's not very excited about either of them.

Any thoughts on a 3rd test drive candidate?
