Yep... There was a test Cayman S vs Evora and Evora lost in almost every department.

I really like Cayman S (looks and performance) but with all the driver's options (like torque vectoring, sport seat and etc.) the price goes up quickly to 75-78k range. So, Z51 it is... And yes, in person C7 looks awesome. It's also very nicely built inside.

The only bad part about C7 is impossibility of a test drive. You can testdrive any Porsche at the dealership but not the C7.

So it's basically like a more expensive version of the STI (seeing as how the Dealerships wouldn't let you Test Drive until you bought the thing).

You actually can test drive an STI... Depending on a dealer YMMV. There is just no way to test drive a C7 even if you give them a deposit. So, no it's much easier with an STI.
