TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman remains some of our favorite performance cars; they're thrilling to drive, and in base form they're exceptional sports car value, too.

The 2017 Subaru BRZ is a great-handling sports car with big value for the dollar; it's just not very fast.
