I can have fun with both cars. The word fun is all about personal preferences. The average driver will have a lot of fun with both cars.
It all depends on which mood Im in to determine which car I choose.

Ahhhh - the classic test between the BoyRacer toycar and the overweight Boat.

How could either of those under performers be classed as "fun"?

Expressway 4 seaters maybe, but "fun"? No thanks... in that price range any used 911 will be gobs more fun than either of these 2 boyracer, mid-management, overweight overpriced slugs of pig iron

I think both of the cars are awsome.

Overweight YES...Hell Yes. Overpriced....not near as bad as Porsche. I just saw a pair of 66K and 70K Caymans the other day. Tell me that aint robbery.

For the prices I think you get the best of all worlds. Speed, comfort, luxury, high revs, decent torqe, and a nasty sound V8. And I honestly think that the new M3 will be more fun to drive than a stock 997 (non-S).

I dont know if you ever drove the E46, but if you try to hold back your crack-like craving for torque and 400+hp cars I think you will have a good time. To me the E46 was less about the power and more about the sound and feel that you experience when driving hard.

If BMW can shave some ~400 lbs off the new E92 CSL and make that engine produce at least 450hp I think we will be in the mist of one of the most entertaining vehicles of all time.

Granted all that bullsh|t i said. If I could get a used 997S for the same price as the M3 then BMW can kiss my ass. HA

im not saying that rs4 is better, maybe is ,but we were listening all those years that atmosferic engine a rear wheel drive is always the best way to have fun during driving
I see where u are coming from, but I have come to realize that there is a secret kind of odd enjoyment that you get from driving a well setup AWD car. I drove the new STI. I was in second gear cornering on a wet road and this sort of awe fell over me when I realized that I could smash the gas and not worry about a damn thing. It just goes and grips, and grips....and eventually understeers. But it just felt so refresing know that no matter what i gave it....it was going to stay on course.

Of course this would get old to me, because I want to be able to indulge in some opposite lock, but to some people I bet that simple fact is very inspiring!
