Crunch time.. Corvette or Cayman.. help me decide
I voted Cayman and tend to agree with the majority of others comments on here but you should go with what you want - we are all different (good job otherwise we’d all be driving around in beige Honda Jazz’s!).
I could always be cheeky and throw my 911 into the mix…?

Steady on! I'm considering getting a large dog and a Jazz is right up there as a possible dog car! Won't be beige, though
I also voted Cayman. The Vette doesn't do anything for me. However, if the Vette puts a bigger smile on your face and makes you more likely to look back at it after you've parked it then that's the one you should buy.

I don’t see how you can decide without driving the corvette.
Find one you like, make the trip and try it. If you don’t and you go for a Porsche you’ll always be second guessing your decision.

That’s the one, or a v6 or v8 z4, now that would be really cool
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

Well this was on my affordable short list when I bought the MR. Question is would I have spent the extra 15 k in value maintaining it over the past 11 years.

Sorry buzyg but if I was paying that sort of money it would be an Aston Martin.

I wouldn't pay that for one now either. Point was I could have bought one for the same money I paid for my ///MR back in early 2011 and now they are twice the money of an ///MR.
£360 for tax at 10mpg too.

I would have rather kept your E89 than go for the corvette…. Sorry, but you did ask for opinions.
I prefer weekend toys to be convertibles, so probably wouldn’t go Cayman either… but out of the two, Cayman all day long.
On the other hand, my teenage step sons love American cars

He has good taste Tbf that Corvette is a non starter really, it was the only c6 available in budget in the UK and in hindsight the colour really doesn't work in its favour, Id rather have a late c5 targa top in red or black but Im edging towards a few years in a porker to scratch the itch then move onto a Vette a few years down the line.. as much as I've enjoyed my time in Z4s I do feel ready for a change.. that said once the mortgage is paid in a few more years I can see myself maybe adding another zed to the collectionTrue-Blue wrote: ↑Mon Sep 12, 2022 12:37 pm I would have rather kept your E89 than go for the corvette….
