Cayman S is the way I'd go. I was looking at a used Cayman and was very tempted but I felt the sales man was trying to pull one over one me.

so I guess the general consensus is LFA and 911 GT3. that's a good taste. It is a good blend between power, class, and convenience. you cannot go wrong with this combination.

I would definitely sell the IS250 and do the civic and ISF or M3! You'll get some cash back to mod the ISF or M3...

Might wanna fix your ad.

For one the X package wasn't exclusive to 2007 and was nowhere near $5000.

Premium is a different package from X (and offered every year of production for the 2IS)... and while it's certainly possible for a car to have both even together they're still well short of 5k

Speaking of well short- yours is well short of fully loaded... apart from missing nav and ML ($4000 in options right there) it's also missing park assist (400 bucks), PCS (about $2500 bucks), and the luxury or sport package (you can only get one of em, but they include a slew of options your car lacks, and those ran around $2500ish too).... oh, and headlamp washers (only $100 there).

Certainly looks nice and clean otherwise, but it's not very accurately described.


As to your original question, I don't get why you can't buy an F and use it as a daily driver.

While it's not AWESOME on gas mileage you're not going to spend an entire second cars worth of money extra on gas driving it around, and it'll be a lot nicer to drive around in than a civic.

Aren't M3's and ISF's pretty good daily drivers already (to and from work)?
