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

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
