A cayman should be less fun than a BRZ? For real? A mid-engined car is ideal in terms of balance, so I don't see how a mid-engine platform could be considered a negative.

They're both great cars at different price points with different pros/cons. To say that a cayman should be less fun makes.... no sense.
It maybe true I like to drink the brz coolaid because it satisfied everything I've ever wanted out of a car. I don't really enjoy being able to put more power down on corner exit because of the mid-engine advantage or the relative lack of slip or the requirement of keeping a tight and clean line in order to not upset a rear heavy chassis. Coming from an MR2, I can appreciate how mid-engined cars need to be driven but I'm finding front engined cars are more forgiving, more fun.
