one man's poison..another mans bla bla..so im commenting based on my own experience.
CAYMAN -ignore all the autocar, top gear reviews and stories about Porsche and actually take one for a spin. i have driven caymans, cayman S...both stock and modded and frankly i dont see what the fuss is about, the interior feels cheap, the steering is hard and uncomfortable, the mid engine layout means the car is LOUD, theres no way i would take one up to PG on a roatrip.
If you think im picky..try pulling up the handbrake on a Cayman S...it feels and sounds like its from a 1980s korean car
so unless u really want it for the brand and prestige..i wouldnt get one if its your only car...if you have 4 cars anyway and u just want another one..by all means go ahead
TT - great value for money, the DSG and TSI engine is lovely and reliable, my only issue with it is the lack of room in the rear and small boot. Also...if you go to the recon dealers, look at a sample of lets say 5 TT's then compare with 5 335's of the same year and milege, i can bet you the BMW's are in better condition...the seats, leather, lining, all confirm better in the BMW (that was my own findings when i was looking for a e92/TT)
E93 - im obviously biased since i got a e92 335, but nothing can beat its package of fantastic I6, looks, reliability, full 4 seater with generous boot..also the fantastic Idrive which is NOT avaialble in cayman and TT or the same year
however..bear in mind the E93 is 200kg heavier then its coupe brother, so powerwise and handling is def affected, you can feel the extra weight. if i could rebuy my car, i would get one without sunroof as well, save another 30kg
