This comparison test is old news.
Cayman is obviously the better car but the M2 is fun because it's imperfect. Anyhow these cars have never been competitors. Technically speaking it should be Boxster vs Z4. 2-series is a 2+2 coupe.

That might be true of the 911, but the Cayman?

M2 CS pulls more G than a gt4. So much for mid engine superior talk

In general there is less data out there on Porsche's safety in my opinion. I don't see much on IIHS's website.

Also what is "better" may differ. M2 is better in safety and daily usability.

Where as a mid or rear engine car will bite you if you're careless.

lol there’s nothing more neutral then a mid-engined car. You can flick a Cayman/Boxster and it will pull itself right back in. Rear engined especially the classics are a different story.

Yeah, except that's all tire as someone above mentioned. One is on a PS4S equivalent, and the other is on Cup 2. With BMW, best not to get into a numbers game anyway because there are almost always cars that beat them on paper at lower prices.

Interesting the different perspectives considering EVO just said it’s the best German car ever (m2 CS) over the gts and it’s more expensive bigger brother the gt4

Motor Trend did the same review
https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2...arison-review/ "Drive all four of these cars, manuals together and dual-clutches together, and the head and heart collide. We like being quicker and faster than the other guy. We like winning. But we also like cars that speak to our souls, that remind us why we love driving in the first place. The Porsche is quicker and faster. The BMW is, in the majority of situations, more fun. Or, as Lieberman honed in: "Look, I can make the argument the 718 Cayman GT4 is the third or fourth best-driving Porsche on sale. I can also say the M2 CS is the best-driving BMW ever made."" If you live on a racetrack the Porsche is probably the best choice. If you don't then the BMW is way more fun. Fun is the key word here. Don't attack me with stats. Fun is what it's all about. Fun. Grins. Smiles. |
