I love my car. No detrimental problems whatsoever.

Well, there is the issue of car payments. But thats not on the manufacturer!

I can honestly say if I knew my car would have the issues it does I would have spent the extra to buy a cayman, I figured I would buy the cheaper car and mod it how I want it to be but the issues have completely turned me off.

Ahhh but we do not all have those issues and it seems to be a minority of the 13s that do. At least two of your issues are easy fixes yet after complaining about them for at least a year you have not yet had the warranty work done. This is not a slam just pointing out that these are known problems with the 13s and are easy to take care of. Not reasonable to apply the issues across the board to all MYs and vehicles.
No guarantees that you would have had any better luck with a Cayman either.

A shit load, but that is because I have been doing it for almost 30 years and am very, very good at it.

I put 200K on my car every 4 years. That means I trade every 4 years. I do not feel like pissing money away by depreciating expensive cars even if I can.
I can not even picture the look on a dealer's face if I showed up looking to trade a 4 year old Cayman with 200K on it. It is funny enough when I show up with a well driven $30K car.

This is a consideration that anybody cross shopping the two needs to keep in mind as well.

Than get a gt86 sounds like you already made your mind up ... especially since youre posting the question on this forum what did you expect to be told

Got it.

If income was a common sense factor on buying a car about 1/4 of the people on this forum should probably be driving 12 year old Neons.
