Looking for a fun car that I can also track. I have about 45-55k and these are the ones I am mainly considering. As you can tell, 3 out of the 4 cars I've picked has a dct and I do prefer it over a manual. Can some who knows or owns these cars help me make a decision.

#

btw, I am a college student and where I live, I do not need a car

#

this car is a pure fun car

#

that could become a track car

My vote is cayman is as the best of what you listed, but Evora as a good alternative. It’s the car you buy when you don’t want to be just another Porsche. 4C is probably my favorite on that list except the general agreement from proper hot shoes is that it’s too unpredictable on track.

yea, from the options given I'm gonna have to say Cayman as well.
apparently they're well balanced, have decent aftermarket support and there's a lot of knowledge on them for repairs and modifications.

I believe everyday driver has actually done a few videos comparing affordable fun cars or fun cars with different price classes that you could use to decide or get more information from

I'm not familiar with the Porsche lineup so I really can't say

That’s when 911’s got big, and I lean towards Cayman over the 911 because the Cayman is going to be a bit more forgiving and I’d expect the track consumables to be marginally cheaper.

997 is my favorite 911. That said, compare one of those back to back against the Cayman. At that point, you’re interested in driving experience, seating position, insurance costs, etc. We can say what the spec sheet says but at the end of the day you’re the one in the car and I’d bet you’ll discover one is preferable to the other for a reason that only you would notice.
