Now, if this will be your only car, and need the back seat and cargo space, then M2 is the car of choice, and a great one at that.
The M2 does not "run out of puff" at 5 grand. Seat time, professional reviews and even graphs put the lie to that implication.

IMO, the two cars are aimed at different markets. A four seat coupe with a big trunk is just not the same gig as the 718. Love my own two-seat (practically speaking) Porsche, but I would not even think of cross-shopping it with an M2.
