Let me chime in on this. In the past 2.5 years I have had a 2010 Audi TT, a 2011 TTS and a 2010 Porsche Cayman S. I now have a 2010 Z. Why is this?
For me the Z has the best attributes of each model and none of my complaints. The car handles like the Cayman, has the quality of the TT/TTS and the styling of all three.
From a luxury perspective, the car is loaded with options like the Audis and they cost significantly less than Porsche options. Have you seen the prices on Porsche's options???
Like the Cayman, the Z is a very good track car with pretty minimal changes/upgrades. For a DD, it is exceedingly comfortable and enjoyable to drive while the 19" wheels on the TTS and Cayman were pure murder. I'm amazed at how plush and sporty the stock suspension is on this car.
I think the Cayman had a flat torque curve/tall gears as well. Seemed like it took forever for that thing to get up to speed. The TT/TTS absolutely took off like a fighter jet from the line thanks to the turbo and a chip.
To me the Z feels more alive and less numb than the TT and TTS; much more connected to the road like the Cayman. I'm pretty picky about my cars and have obviously bought a few lately. So far, the Z feels perfect to me. If it had the engine/exhaust sound of the Cayman and the acceleration of the TT/TTS it would be perfect in my opinion.
I believe the Z is in the same class as the TT/TTS and Cayman and would buy another one over those any day of the week. To me it is quite possibly the perfect blend of sportiness and luxury out there. My Porsche friends laugh and my Audi dealer doesn't understand this. Dollar for dollar, nothing else is close.
Hope this helps.
