As the title says, which would you pick?

All three are within his price range. He is considering the following three.

1- Cayman S (he is still configuring it online)

2- Limited Black Edition GTR

3-A copy cat M3 of Radz pic (Hope you dont mind, he's going for your look)

I got him to consider the M3 by showing him Radz pic and now he's thinking about it.

He is still lost on which to pick. Can you guys help us out?

Try not to be toooo BMW biased :P

Please Vote

Not a bad choice in there, but they're three very different cars. He's best to just drive them and see which one he likes best.

If the main determinant is sheer speed and performance, I'd go GT-R. If the main determinant is prowess in the twisties, nothing handles that stuff like the Cayman S. If the goal is luxury and sport and great performance and room, I'd go M3. To me, the M3 is the best all around car of the three for all purposes and to me, the most beautiful looking.

But if I were going to buy a sheer performance car without regard for any of the other factors, the GT-R would be very hard to resist.

The car is going to be his daily drive

Thanks for voting and commenting.

I am going to show him the comments and poll for him to decide.

But the closest call (I'm predicting ) is going to be the Cayman S and the M3. What would make you choose one over the other?

But what I was telling him is that, you live in the city. There are people,traffic, radars, SAFETY. No one is going to pull his car hard on public roads. So whether you have 300,400,500HP, I dont think It ll matter much unless you're launching at a red light but that's only for 5-6s and that's it.

He can always go to a track, rent a lap with a Carrera turbo and enjoy it. Don't you think so?

My thoughts exactly. They Cayman handles great but wouldn't make a great daily driver. The GT-R has incredible performance and neat tech, but the M3 is the best all-arrounder with performance, looks, luxury, and enough comfort for a great daily driver.

But he needs to drive them all and decide for himself.

For a daily driver, I'd go M3. For a second car (one solely for all out perfornace/fun), I'd probably go GT-R as it is so much more powerful than the Cayman S and it handles the twisties very very well.

i voted GT-R (performance wise), but for DD i would pick M3 if u need the space, if u don't need space a cayman would do good

Bteljuice 11-15-2009 07:17 AM

thanks Kchng for chiming in :thumbsup: I hope more people come and vote and comment.

Well, he doesn't care about the space as he is single, that's why he is going with a coupe.
