As it says above, looking for some opinions and advice and balanced comments on what my next car should be. I presently drive a 911 997.1 C4s and quite frankly I'm a bit under whelmed. I don't do track days and the car is my daily driver and although its a fine car..it just doesn't wow me...i don't think its particularly fast or enough of an event or feel good factor. I think my old cayman s was a better drive and easier to get me smiling (until bore score happened. ) Any way i kinda decided on 4 different cars..and they are very different....
1 TVR T350 or Tamora (had a tamora before and loved it)
2 Maserati Grantourismo auto 2007-2009
3 DB9 2005-2006
4 Cayman s 981

any help ideas would be great. Would be daily driver (except for TVR when i would buy an old basher for a daily) I do mostly drives from Nottingham to inverness so has to be comfortable, Mainly M, A roads with weekend blasts on B roads.

Cheers in advance

Its not the out and out speed that ins interested in, its the feel good factor that being in a car that look and sounds fantastic. The TVR just has something that the others don't, but the masi and the DB9 look and sound great...the Cayman is a bit of a compromise between the TVR and the other two..drives superbly but doesn't quite have the same impact visually or aurally

Not really a fan...i know its a good looking car, and i know i shouldn't..but i can't help but think of Mondeos and Fiestas when i see one, i know its a bit odd..but its how i am...probably a bit of a badge snob if truth be told.

That Cayman is a thing of beauty and a fabulous car...would you say it has the same presence and wow factor as the DB9 or Grantourismo?

Those masers are great and beautiful...why did you get rid of yours?
