New BRZ/FRS or used Porsche Cayman?
Consider these thoughts:
Options aside, let's use these two cars for the comparison.
2014 BRZ/FRS manual:
200hp
151 torque
35/25 mpg
2776 lb curb weight
2009 Porsche Cayman (non-S, with 65k miles):
265 hp
221 torque
19/27 mpg
2932 lb curb weight
And also consider warranty, maintenance, insurance, and resale.
WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
DISCUSS.
- New Scion FRS with manual tranny sells for approx $26k, Subaru BRZ for $28k at dealership.
- Used Porsche Cayman (non-S) of the previous generation for the same price at a dealership after negotiations will probably be a 2009 with 65k miles (KBB figures).

Depends on ur plans for it.
If u like to mod the car and/or put lots of miles as a DD then FRS/BRZ is the way to go.
If u want a garage queen that u use on the weekend - Cayman would be good.
I personally wouldnt buy a Porsche out of warranty unless you know a good shop or are mechanically inclined.

dude its a Porsche!!!
You will be much happier in a Caymen than a FRS/BRZ, as long as its a manual!
Price wise, its like buy a used Lexus SC430 for 20k or buy a new Toyota Corolla.

I vote for fast reliable goat. Uses Grass, beer cans, and dirty goat diapers for fuel, and it will eat anybody's lunch you choose.
Your more of a Porsche Caymen type of guy, it's a phenomenal partywagon for your friends
