Best looking, handling and value in used sport car

I love my 2014 Porsche Cayman base model with PDK transmission.
It is beautifully styled, handles like a true sports car should and is a tremendous value for a lightly used car.…
I pass my exit all the time...

This car gives my heart more exercise than a gym. Seriously. I drive over curvy Highway 17 through the Santa Cruz mountains in California every day and its amazing. I look forward to my commute and Ill pass my exit on a regular basis because its so much fun to drive!. This car corners like a race car. With new 20 inch Michelins, Ive raced a Ferrari and Aston Martin on Hwy 17 and they couldnt pass me because of the corners. Few production cars can match the cornering. Mid-engine, 6 cyl. growl in your ear is like listening to a violin. I have the PDK which has a dual clutch so its quick shifting. And PDK always seems to anticipate my paddle shift and places the car in the correct gear before I can do so. Its amazing. The car is so smart.
I also have the heated and A/C seats which work really well. Folding mirrors help with tight parking. Headlights are like eyes and they move with the steering wheel. This car has very little storage room inside but theres a surprising amount of space in the front and rear hatches.
Overall, its a beautiful performance car. The best Ive owned and Ive owned many hot cars. The quality is superb as youd expect in a Porsche. The body lines are flowing, especially when you glance at your side mirror and see the curved hip. While this may be one of the least expensive Porsches on the market, I think it handles better than my previous 911, 928 and several Mercedes SLs. Those cars may have a higher top speed but this car just feels better. I think the mid-engine balance makes all the difference.
Not sure if Ill ever sell this one. The new 718s have a 4-cyl. turbo which doesnt excite me. I still like 911s but I love mid-engine. My 981 Cayman S model was only made for ~3 years before Porsche switched to 4-cyl turbos in the 718. I think a 981 with the right options is gonna be a future legend.
I cant say enough. I LOVE my Cayman S.…
Best value in a true all around sports car

In a world of 0-60 times and loud engines that don't always deliver, the Cayman has to be the best blend of performance, speed, handling, luxury, technology, and all around refinement in a true sports car that you would expect to cost way more. The second generation Cayman, the 981, takes the refinement, technology and balance to a new level. And with the Cayman going to a turbocharged 4-cyl 718 in 2017, the 981 is probably the best normally aspirated 6 cylinder Cayman you can buy. It has lost all the gremlins of the 987 and not lost the beautiful 6 cylinder wail like the 718.…
