I would take Cayman.. it is the most sport oriented car among the 4. Flat-6 Boxer.
Its the only mid-engine car here. you dont have to pay Ferrari or Lamborghini price for a mid-engine sports car.
But I will only take it for weekend drive, hill climb.

TT and C300 are more livable as daily cars

V6 Jag sound very soft. Jaguar right?

Any v6 even a Perdana v6 with a straight flow (and quality) exhaust will turn a silent v6 into a nasty v6 beast.

Same with GTR, ever heard of a real silent GTR, without the signature Godzilla sound? Ive heard one before.

Displacement matters to get that grunting sound also la

You see teana v6, perdana v6 no matter what they do also cannot get that 3+ litre displacement car unique sound la, they only sounded like a typical modded wira/satria

No need so much over 3litre also, don care you v config or i6 config such as on the m2 already sound beast with its bigger combustion area

Edit: to the topic, and your criteria - Porsche.

But if sound is your main priority, then no contest - stang with aftermarket exhausts, but you have to ask yourself, is it worth the tradeoff off porsche’s driving dynamics? And not forgetting the roadtax unless u got lobang.

Hahaha why is a Mustang cock magnet? Thank you for your reply.

1. Performance/handling/horse/sound
2. Looks
3. Maintenance ( I normally drive 70% high way 30% city drive, 1 year mileage is around 12K-15K)
4. Resell value or depreciation.

Planing to ride for 3-4 years.

Why a cock magnet? Simple. See any chicks wetting their panties when they see a mustang? The usual comment will be - 'What car is that?' Unlike guys who will get a semi boner
For what you're looking for, go with the Cayman.

I'm surprised at the price of the 2015 Cayman 981. Looks like a good deal. Though I assume maintenance/replacement parts are going to be a killer and making the cost of ownership too high and not worth it?

Parts and maintenance will be expensive for sure, but Porsche is one of the most reliable German car.. they are ranked very closely to Toyota and Lexus. Not only the ranking, you can read reviews and owner forums about their reliability. Of course certain generations will have some issues to watchout

Although they are under VW, but Porsche's reliability is not the same like typical German makers.

For Cayman and Boxster, the engine is in the middle and only accessible from underneath thus maintenance and parts replacement will be a challenge.

981 lowest engine capacity is 2.7 liter, so roadtax is higher. Tyres cost and break pad replacement are other cost to consider

If I have to choose between that 4, Cayman. But 987.2 instead of 981.
