https://forums.edmunds.com/discussio...estions#latest And BTW, I did not initiate this Thread ("Got another F-Type R"). I was commenting over on the F8x subforum about the Audi TTRS which I was also interested in, and I guess the moderators wanted to keep that discussion on topic and created this new Thread. Believe me, I'm not one to show off here on a BMW Forum about my new Jaguar--that has troll written all over it!!!

I test drove a F Type S a few months ago that was at a Porsche dealer. I went to drive the new Caymans, but saw it and asked to try it out. It was very nice and I almost bought it on the spot, but decided to cool off a couple days to make sure I was making the right decision. I love the way it drives and the sound is incredible. I can only imagine how the R sounds. I was also looking at Stingrays and it struck me how similar the two cars are from a driving and personality perspective. The Type S got sold, so I kind of reset and then bought a Stingray. Congrats on getting such a wonderful car!

I loved my previous M4 and M3ZCP, and I'm a die hard BMW fan boy, however there is just something special about the F-Type Coupe R.

I was this close to pulling the trigger on a Grand Sport last year when I was considering unloading my '16 F-Type, but I ended up back with an M3 ZCP.

$704 base, with no money down, just typical start ups: 1st, acq fee, ttl, $75 NY doc fee, and 9% PA tax on $2k Jag rebate.
Car was new, <50 miles, warranty hadn't been punched, nothing unusual about the options. I just happened to be extremely lucky with the deal, as this is not the norm! Car was close to $113k

Seriously though, seating position, viewpoint, acceleration etc are very similar. |

True, but the vette is such a better bargain. And that 7sp manual was just solid, as if the car was built around it!

The Stingrays right now are about the only cars in existence where I don't say "They want HOW MUCH for that?!?". They really are the best deal out there for sure.

they are fast and look and sound good but they still lag behind in the finer points like crisp throttle response, a feeling of integration amd precision and refinement I went from a 2 year old 2014 cayman s to a brand new c7 for a straight swap thinking I was getting the best deal out there....3 days later i wanted my caymam back as for the type r...comgrats...freakn.fun car....the only recent car i have driven that left me really wanting one...it is only the lack of a manual that is really holding me back... |

I must be dumb as a bag of rocks, because I just don't get the whole Cayman thing especially considering it has 4 cylinders now that in my opinion just don't sound all that sexy or awesome anymore. Fit and finish is nice and handles great, but I just don't see paying $75k (once optioned out with modern conveniences) for a base Cayman when I can get a Z06 for that money and actually for a little less. I've driven at least 7-8 Caymans and felt like the 2014-6 Cayman S was the best of the bunch, but didn't speak to me the way the F-Type or Corvette does. I even like my 135is better than the Cayman lol.
