Contemporary mid-engine sports cars are an endangered species in today’s marketplace, and most are unattainable for all but the well-to-do. If you are looking for the near-handling perfection and superior balance of a mid-engine coupe in an affordable package, the 2014 Porsche Cayman is the only game in town.
Snowbelters who plan to trudge their sports car through messy winter conditions might express a preference for the all-wheel-drive Audi TTS. On the value side of the ledger, the Cayman’s extensive list of costly a la carte options can quickly vault the sticker price into the $90,000 range.
