If you could get 'Cayman S' or 'RS4' for the same price, which would you pick? doors not an issue

I'd do a used 911 Carrera 4S. Best of both worlds!

can't find one in my price range :( dont wanna get older than 06

Daily driver - RS4, weekend fun car - Cayman S, real sports car - Carrera C2S
 

C2S recommendation assuming budget doesn't allow for a 997TT or GT3.

Agreed, but I'd take this for a real sports car:

RS4 without a thought

Didn't MotorTrend vote the Cayman S as the 2nd best handling car?

rs4 .

Cayman hands down!

b5 rs4

Cayman w/ twin turbos

too many variables, daily driver? weather conditions? track toy? plans to mod? etc.
 

For a daily driver that might get lightly modded its rs4. More radical plans would suit the cayman nicely.

Why would anyone want one of those...

daily drive, I don't drive much as I walk to work, so it's more for running errands, weekends, track
 

I live in Vancouver, so a lot of rain, and a bit of snow 2-3 times a year.

I don't wanna mod too much, just maybe a suspension for RS4

Cayman definately would be a better handling car... here's the track comparo, food 4 thought

you could ask this on the audi forum or porsche forum with different results :)

if you think audi's are high maintenance try buying parts for a porsche btw. friend works on em'

RS4.

Cayman S without hesitation. Driven both; the Porsche is about perfect for me.

Z06... *flame suit on*

Cayman for the track... but RS4 I just want to ball out.

+1

^ 2nd.

The Cayman is fun, and with winter tires it is extremely driveable in the winter
 

it makes a nice daily car, it is sexy, quick, handles nice... but as comfortable as it is (kinda bumpy) I imagine the RS4 is much more plush

Porsche will get noticed more by the females...

only car or 2nd car?

only car...

As only car...RS4 all day long

RS4 all day

Very nice chart! well done.

ZO6 is cheaper, lighter, faster and better on gas...easy decision

2nd
