6'-4" and 200lbs. Not fat but big. The last Cayman was too small for me. BMW 3-series cars are too small. The first TT was, too.

Wut? That's not that big... I am spec'd the same way. How the F is a 3 series too small? Aside from the obvious back seat.

Too narrow. TT and Cayman have no headroom.

RWD platform with a small light engine = great weight distribution without a lot of $$ materials needed.

If you want a drift machine you can do it better for cheaper

A modified low-rent sports coupe is not comparable to a stock sports sedan and I don't think anyone on this forum wants a drift machine - unless of course it has a superior interior.

Everyone here wants the new audi S3. Can't believe nobody has mentioned it yet.

34 mpg, combined!
4.7 seconds 0-60
Sedan
Great seats
Tossable.

Tune it? Look out!

Relevant to this thread, I sat in a Chrysler Crossfire recently (you know, that car that Mercedes designed for Chrysler, back about 2004-06 time period). Anyway, that car is very difficult to get into. I'm 6'0 185... not as big as some... but dang..

This is what i say to people who compare their luxury car to my GTI.

Me: "You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me? Now, me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block... and replace the piston rings you fried. Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning. "
