My previous daily was a 2015 Mazda 3. Fuel efficient, fun enough in the curves, dead reliable. I was considering a new Mazda 6 as my next daily, but found a sweet deal on a low mileage Cayenne Diesel.
Currently daily a Mazda 6. So happy with my choice even though I miss my Gen 1 Cayman S lots
Yeah, I was on the fence a long time deciding whether to go for the Cayenne or the 6. Efficiency is about the same, but diesel’s cheap here – about a 1/3 cheaper than gas – and the comfort of the Cayenne just barely outweighed the pluses of the Mazda (reliability, warranty).
Retrospect will tell me how wise a decision this was (I’ve got my fingers crossed for the Cayenne).

i own a boxster so alternatives for me are mazda mx5 (miata), audi TT roadster, or fiat(abarth) 124 I guess.
To be honest, it’s very hard to find a similar price/value proposition. Does anyone know of other similar cars?
Current Gen Toyota GR86 is praised for being very baby 911 like.
I liken it to basically a modern 944.
but its like 180hp and 2tonnes ism’t it? on paper worse thwn my 98 base boxster :-/
230hp and 1.3 Metric Tonnes.
So far from it lmao

I owned an mx5, then z4 e85 3.0 now boxster s 987. I think the boxster lies in between the mx5 and z4 in terms of comfort and sportiness. Any later z4 will be even more of a grand tourer. The TT is way too heavy for me to even consider as a roadster. Jaguar F type is good value but also very heavy. I think my next steps will be newer boxsters.
If you’re willing to forsake the soft-top convertible, lotus emira is comparable. If you’re willing to forgo the manual transmission, z4 or c8
Integra Type S
I own a 4runner as a second car. They both serve their purpose!
Lotus, GT350, C6 Z06 and save a little money.
Does it have to be a less expensive car? I definitely loved my Huracan Spyder, but I think that even a Civic Si or R would be fun if I didn’t have the means. Just make the most of what you’ve got.
Lotus Emira is really calling to me
No Cayenne, get an Audi Q7 or MBZ AMG equivalent No 911, get a GT-R No Cayman, get a BMW M2 No Panamera, get an Audi S7 or RS6 Avant No Taycan, get an Audi e-Tron GT (same platform)
Mercedes-Benz W212 E63 AMG with M157 engine, pre or post facelift.
Ferrari Roma, ha!
Bmw e28 M5 is my second choice, I currently have a 85 535i but really want an air cooled 911 and am currently in the saving stage.
