The price of the Cayman is a tough pill to swallow. When I was cross shopping these cars with a max budget of about $65K, I found I was essentially looking at a base Cayman with almost no options, and a base Cayman is FAR more basic than a base version of the other two cars, we're talking a 2-way non-power adjustable driver's seat. Ultimately, I went with the M2 as it's my only car. The Supra would've worked for me (no kids) but I couldn't get over not having a stick. I know, the auto in that car is great, but I just enjoy shifting my own gears and rev matching (even with the rubbery box in the M2 that won't turn off auto rev matching without completely disabling the stability control.) A year and a half later, and i couldn't be happier with it, but like the video said, all three of these cars are great.
I have an '11 e92 6mt and would have traded it for the supra...if there was a manual. I know the auto is faster etc but there's nothing like rowing through the gears!
Yes i admit Porsche pricing js a little ridiculous is you just look at the numbers, theres really not much going on there. But theres a saying a man have to own porsche at least once before dying 😁
yeah, the stripper cayman, even the stripper c8, are gutted a lot more than your average car at base level... its how they get to advertise such a low price to pique people's interest until they realize they need to spend another $10-20k to bring it up to par for basic amenities and features
The M2 was my under-$100k dream car, and it didn't disappoint at all when I made the dream come true. Unfortunately life threw me several curveballs so I no longer have it. One day I hope to find a clean 2016-2018 M2 again.
@@THATNI99AJOHN the difference is in the power delivery, the seats, the brakes, the mirrors, etc. The M2C is definitely worth the extra money, the S55 is also a great platform for tuning since there are so many options for the m3/M4 that you can also use if you wanna add more power

Cool. Thr 718 would the best cayman if it had 6cyl engine. Its still could have small displacement and turbo i love those ideas, just not cutting 2 nuts
I hated the new Supra when it debuted. Now I own a 2021 and absolutely love it. I've owned a ton of cars over the years - a manual E92 M3, Focus RS (and ST), and 6th gen Camaro SS 1LE to name a few, and the Supra is hands down my favorite. This past weekend I had the chance to take the Supra to its first track day and by my 3rd session of the first day I was able to whittle my lap times to within a second of my SS 1LE, which took me 2 years to get a personal best of 1:39 at Barber Motorsports Park. The Supra is easily one of the most underrated sports cars on sale. It has great handling, a very quick 0-60 and 1/4 mile time, great exhaust note, and surprisingly good MPG. It may not be your ideal "Supra", but it's an objectively damn fine sports car.
The M2 is a rolls royce compared to an E30. An E30 is likely 800lbs lighter and feels like an early 90's civic. However it is the closest thing to the "old" BMW. In all actuality, the M2 is really a continuation of what the E46/E92 M3 was comparing relative size and weight.
I could only afford my 228i xdrive Dinan Stage 1 with 340 lb.ft. torque. What a balanced platform and a great handler. I once had a 4-series loaner car and it felt like it had extra weight behind the driver. I also drove the new M440i and it didn't feel like it had 380 HP... probably because it is so much heavier
I was debating between the M2 and the Supra but in the end I chose the Supra and have zero regrets. Pure800 turbo has me around 550whp and it's an absolute blast to daily drive.. also a lot cheaper than the m2 and cayman, grabbed my 2020 for $49k.
Pure800 turbo 550whp... this has to be done with forged pistons & forged rods + methanol injection kit + a stage 3 tune on top of straight pipe exhaust and upgraded air intake, am I right?
I’m from the UK and this is one of my favourite shows in the world! The sheer fact these are three of the cars I’ve been looked at and finally we get a good quality review / opinion from 2 car enthusiasts a lot of ppl can IMO relate too! I love it guys thank you for this content!
Drove one of those Supras for a weekend. What a gem of a car! Great weekend cruiser, backroad blaster, and daily driver (saw over 25mpg during my full 300 mile weekend). Wife loved driving it too...we will buy one someday
@@izzdin6228 I'm not OP, but my 3rd gen was a GT/sports car (and was certainly a lardass at 3,400lbs) so I've always considered them GT-able. That said anything is GT-able to me after owning NA Miatas and MR2s. My BRZ is my cross-country trip car ha ha.
...wish my wife was into (sports)cars....instead, she'd rather be in a Wrangler 😔. No, she doesn't prefer to drive a manual, but that doesn't mean that the car has to be numb. We are on different ends of the spectrum when it comes to cars and why I didn't give in and get an automatic on my most recent car (WRX).
@@izzdin6228 It did very well at it! The ride was very comfy for long drives, but very capable when the roads got twisty. That motor is very underrated from Toyota: 425+ft-lbs of torque to the wheels!
Last year I was shopping all three of these, I bought the supra on essentially a coin flip. You can't go wrong with any of them but I absolutely love my supra and have zero regrets. Fantastic video, useful insights as always!
@@pirateshipproductions5859 You're gonna love it. Don't be too hard on it during break in, but don't be too gentle. Everybody gives me the thumbs up when I drive by. I got mine in the metallic white (apparently this is the hardest color to repair chips on because the paint is a tri-coat). They look awesome in red. Black looks the worst because it just blends in with the black trim. I hate black cars.
I fucking love my Supra. It makes me smile every time I sit in it. I find myself counting down the last few hours of work so I can finally get back in it. Such a great car. Thanks Toyota & BMW for bringing more joy!
Man i can't tell you guys how many of these videos i have watched over the years hoping to someday own one of the cool cars you review. I picked up my M2C in Germany on Euro Delivery two years ago and it was a dream come true and now seeing you guys finally reviewing it is just a crazy feeling. Absolutely love the car, all my friends and family love the car, it just suits me perfectly and I'm so glad i worked hard and saved to get it instead of just settling for something cheaper.
@@henrik1743 EU delivery actually came with a discount, you didn't pay anything extra other than your flights and hotels obviously! I have family in Germany i was going to see and stay with anyways so it worked out super well for me. It's a shame they ended it i think i was one of the last Americans to get to experience it
@@exiledrabbit wow that is really crazy :o I thought that you had to pay like 6-10k $ extra for it, that seems like an awesome thing! I think only Volvo does this now for american customers
Fi 987 will be painful disappointment after gt86, especially turbo. Dunno bout 981, will take test drive soon and do some comments spamming. Its better be faster than 2l toyota with turbo slapped on it😂 Or ill make sure everyone on yt knows 35k toyota js better than 65k$ Porsche
I feel like the M2 having 4 seats should have been noted a bit more as the video title states “usable” as the main point. However, the other two are definitely awesome cars.
Agree that’s my issue with the video. Why have usable in the title if there are no points seemingly being awarded for that usability. M2 I could literally fit myself and 3 kids can’t do that in the others.
"It doesn't matter if you've driven the Supra or not you already have an opinion" that's the sad truth on the internet about this damn car everyone loves to dismiss
@Hussar0 The fact is that the supra without a bmw partnership would make the the supra cost as much as a nissan gtr more then 100k plus dollars because toyota would have to make a new inline6 engine that they dont need for any of there other cars. They save themselves and the buyer money this way. The A80 supra "a great car" was the last gen supra was over engineered by toyota and was to expensive at the time and that is what made the supra disappear for about 20 years more or less. Not that many people buying it new from the dealerships.The new A90 however is a great sports car that lives up to its name buy looks and the way it performs on the road and track although its a bmw 99% its better this way cause the supra is more affordable brand new and cost less to make. Toyota didn't need to spend millions of dollars on research and development on a sports car where sports cars in general dont sell in mass. The real purpose of the A90 supra is just to show the world that Toyota can make fun cars again.
@@dtothej77kz3 lol I see this kid complain about the supra everywhere. Bet he can't even afford any of these cars to begin with. He clearly doesn't know anything about running a business, or else he'd be bankrupt. Doesn't have a clue about how much it'd cost to create a new engine and platform.
I have owned the base M2 since 2017 and am very happy. It is what BMW M has always done best: take a small well handling 4 seater, rummage through the parts bin and make it an surprisingly good sports car. I have fun on the twisty bits, am able to pack for long road trips and even enjoy getting the groceries. Two seaters may be "purer" but this car is so versatile.
As an owner of a 718 Cayman GT4 I can say I’d be happy with any 3 of these cars. The BMW has the functionality and can squeeze 2 kids in the back. The Supra has that ‘anti-status’, ‘better value’ thing going for it that’s definitely cool. The Cayman is sublime in everything it does (except sound). If the Cayman S had the 4.0L flat-6, then that may make the biggest difference in your decision. So which would I choose? The Cayman S, if I were buying new. A 2016 Cayman GTS if you’re smart with your money and want a car that’ll probably be more reliable in the long run than the M2 and probably won’t depreciate as much as both the Bimmer and Supra.
I have the M2C, and I can tell you that I can fit myself (5'10) and taller easily on the back seats. It is actually very roomy, a lot of people are surprised about that.
Thank you for not just down-talking the Supra the whole time. I love my 2021 Supra, and am looking forward to fully making it mine once the parts become available.
They nailed it with this one. Without a doubt if you own any one of these 3 cars, you're certainly an enthusiasts and loving every minute of the driving experience.
Bruh that last shot is amazing. I would have started with that one so more people could have the privilege of watching. But I guess its a reward for staying till the end.
The absolutely most perfect video for me! I've been trying to decide on my next car and the Supra and Cayman are both on my list. This just clinched it for the Cayman. BTW amazing video quality and beautiful footage of the landscape in that area.
Great review, Todd knows exactly what he's talking about (great to hear somone talking about and understanding "chuckability") and is spot-on about BMW's lack of road feel after going from their superb hydraulic steering to now electric steering (for more efficiency = lower emissions reasons), I've had BMWs with both, the hydraulic definitely felt so much better.
2018 M2 (N55) owner here. Modified it straight after break in. On track it's great and in everyday life it still fits my 4 and 7yr olds for the school run. Today ppl want to buy it off me for more than I paid brand new. You can't ask for much more than that. Plus, it's the best looking and sounding BMW they've made in the last decade... I think I'll struggle to ever let it go.
I have a 3 and 5 year old and looking for a qwekend fun, grocery getting, coffee run car. Really torn between the M2 Competition 6MT or the new 2023 Supra 6MT.
@Prime Artemis no, I'd get a c8 corvette, now if I had porche 918 money on the other hand... I'd get a McLaren... 😂 I love porche but personally I think there's always a better car when comparing dollar to dollar performance
2 weeks into ownership of my new M2c.. couldn't be happier. This is the M car that's been missing for about a decade. And perhaps the last great M car as the rest of the lineup gets bigger, bloatier, more luxurious, and crazy-expensive.
Having driving the M2 Competition before, I was really surprised to see it last in this competition. I was absolutely blown away at how good that car is. The Cayman and Supra must be very special vehicles.
The difference is like they said in the video, the other two cars are sports cars so they have better base dynamics. The BMW is right there in performance but it has two rear seats and a bigger trunk to carry around which is always a compromise.
Being an M2C owner, I would definitely agree with your conclusion. I picked the M2 Competition because of the fact that its an all-around car. If I could have purchased just a pure sports car and its between the Cayman or Toyota it would be the Cayman S for exactly the reasons you both mentioned. Great video.
I am actually looking at the M2 comp, the Supra, the Cayman GTS 4.0, and the Jaguar F-Type SVR. I have never driven any of them and after watching this video, I don’t feel so bad about not being able to decide which one to pick. If you had a problem after driving them to decide, I guess it’s just natural for me to be unable to choose. I guess at the end of the day it all will boil down to what I want to do with the car. I’m not going to drag race or track whatever I decide to go with but I plan on traveling some back roads/highways on weekend getaways with my wife and we want something sporty/“special” to travel in. Thanks for making the video. Great info.
Great review! M2 would be for me, need a back seat and the manual. I do love the Supra design but as “good” as the ZF auto is, it isn’t the driving experience I want for that type of car.
That was a fantastic piece. Your breakdown(s) of the benefits and costs of each were at times surprising, and I really appreciated the nuance you expressed with how close these cars are.
I went through this same list of cars and ended up with a 2021 Supra. IMO to declare the Porsche the clear winner you have to move up to the GTS or GT4. Then you have to convince yourself that those cars are worth more than double the price. I bought my Supra Premium Edition $4K under sticker which put it at $53K. When you consider the value and the fact you can add another 80HP to the car for around $1200 it's hard to pass up.
This was a great comparison video, guys. Love the thoughtful analysis of each car, which is relevant because they weirdly have similar missions. And man, that Utah cinematography doesn't hurt, either! Great work! 🙌🏻
Here in Denver, I drive an OG M2 with Sport Cup 2's in the mountains on the weekends. I put it in sport mode and the exhaust note is glorious as you take those corners.
You could afford cayman gts from army? Damn they must pay soldiers a lot in US... In Europe private usually have salary equivalent of mcdonald worker and can barely afford.a living, not to mention any nice car. 😂😂😂
@@Angry-Lynx Well they dont have any bills... which is why a lot of them make a mistake of buying a sports car. When they could just be saving/investing there money
@@duck8280 im not doing it going right in... i can afford it in a good 6-10 years assuming i save and all that good stuff yah duck lol i hear you though!
M2 Comp all day. Great all around, even with a new Bilstein suspension and cambers but on the track this little Bavarian Munchkin chases Caymans all day. I stay purposely behind Caymans and Supras until 2 laps to go. And that is with a stock engine. The tickling of that power plant is yet to come. Great video though. You both are competent, knowledgeable and unbiased. Thank you for your work!!
Hmm, I’d have to disagree about the driving characteristics. The M2 feels a lot racier than both of the others due to the way the S55 puts out power. That and the fact that you can’t have the windows down in the Supra without a migraine from buffeting; that alone makes it terrible, I’m sure most people would love to roll the window down and hear the sweet exhaust note.
@@EliasTheHunter yeah true, thank god for good aftermarket support! It just makes me sad that they haven’t fixed that yet because the B58 sounds awesome.
If you need four seats or it is your only car I can understand going with the BMW. If not and money is not the limiting factor it’s Porsche all day long. Though for the money the Toyota looks great, though I would wait for the manual. I admit to being a biased observer though as a former M3 owner who currently owns 5 Porsches including a GT3 and 718 Spyder.
I love my M2C. Works better as a daily driver and I can load my wheels into the back seat and trunk then drive to track and autocross events. Great all around car and a joy to drive.
Seems like price point Supra would win for me although I do like the 718 Porsche. I would take the extra money I saved from the Porsche and trick out the Supra. Awesome post guys!
Man I love this channel, you never fail to amaze me, and btw I love the Supra ❤️ and even I couldn't have expected the Supra to be better than the M2 :o,
*get the M2 if you need back seat/larger trunk *get the Supra if you want heads turning *get the Cayman....? (Sorry I just can't justify paying $85k sure its the better sports car then these two. But when you have $85-95k there are certainly better options out there (like 991.2 base cerrea, F type, Corvette ect ect)
@@strebrr lol base cayman probably doesn't come with anything.. Porsche with their options game. Gotta pay for nev, paint, air conditioning, larger breaks, navigation, back up camera ect ect
@@francisgomes9976 as I said.. "with good options". The base Cayman is ~56k € here in Germany. For ~65k € you will get enough options to have everything needed.
I own a manual M2 comp and not a day goes by that it doesn’t make me smile. For the 60k mark I just can’t do a flat-4 Cayman or an auto Supra. M2 comp all day.
@@EliasTheHunter my mistake flat-4. I’m sure the 718 Cayman S is awesome, however, they typically go for around 70k-75k in my area which is to much IMO. Especially when a used Cayman GT4 (which is truly something special) is not much more. At least that’s my thinking.
@@EliasTheHunter I always liked the 986. I’m considering a used BRZ for a track build. What’s your opinion of them? The NC Miata is the other platform I’m considering.
@@jhouser972 I’ve owned 21 vehicles, most of them fun, and the BRZ is my favorite. If it died, I’d just get another used one to replace it. NC can be nice for the track! The low cost of consumables make it a wise choice. I don’t have nearly so much experience with that gen as I do the others, though.
@@EverydayDriver Thanks for the prompt response. Is it possible to do a show (segment) in india. Your work will be greatly appreciated here as it is top notch. Please consider. Thanks.
I have a M2 that has been built and waiting to be loaded on a Container Ship for shipment to the US, when it arrives it will be delivered to Spartanburg SC to the BMW Performance Center where I will take delivery. My son and I will be at the Performance Center for two days and we are so looking forward to being there and driving on the track. I am past three term President of the the Tarheel BMWCCA and have loved the many BMW's I have owned through the years, but must admit the M2 is the one I plan to keep for a very long time! I so enjoyed this segment and feel that it was very informative and well done.
Engine sounds.. Damn that Supra sounds good, M2 Second.. Cayman?... I will only settle for the new Gts or the Spyder. I still can't come to grips with that turbo engine.. Overall I wouldn't mind a garage with all 3!
I love how there is no hate comments from fan boys of any brand here. Pure enthusiasts👍🏼 These are all likable sport cars with slightly different “souls”.
I own a Supra, and I feel you guys got the winner right. I like my car but it would have been perfect, if Toyota had built it! Faults, it's hard to get into and there's very little space to put things. I still like it and for the money, you can't really go wrong. Also that line "Competition, is BMW speak for how we should have built the car in the first place." I laughed out loud! 😆😆
Think you can’t go wrong with any of these ! Ultimately the supra and cayman were non starters for me because I needed some form of practicality so really my only choice was the M2. Great video 👌🏻
We continue to post every two weeks to this channel and once a week to our other channel (test drive videos). Lots of stuff on the way, glad to have you watching.
I love my M2C, and chose it over the Cayman because of the engine. I do think I'll consider trading into a 911 once it's paid off. The newer Porsches are amazing.
A hard day at work never looked so fun. As an e46 owner I’m still waiting for the next version to come out of the bmw factory. The M2 is really really close (yes I know It sounds delusional comparing an e46 to an M2) but something about the the high stance bothers me, you can see it clearly how much lower to the ground the Supra and the Cayman are. Supra in auto is a deal breaker( I’m ok with not being anyone’s friend) there are rules that should never be broken dammit. The cayman is too pricey for a 4cylinder. A car company needs to build a car that combines all the good points off all three with none of the bad. Yes all three are fine choices but an affordable drivers cars should be a no brainer for a car company, only one can dream. In the meantime I’ll be stuck with my e46/in-line 6/hydraulic steering/5 speed beater. I hate you guys for having the best job ever.
If the Supra had a manual, I think the results would be different. Ultimately, I think it simply came down to which car is the best to drive, and the Cayman has the best dynamics .. period. Not the best engine or price or practicality or whatever .. but when you want to enjoy driving your motor vehicle, Porsche just excels at making that happen. And they know it (see PRICE). But all three make compelling cases based on what your specific criteria are. Great video guys!!
Literally been visiting this channel every once in a while for years. Literally years. I still stop by from time to time just to check if the mullet is still there. I see that it is.
I test drove all three and would have to agree with the power delivery: the Supra just feels faster than the M2. The cayman is a fantastic car to drive, but ultimately- we live in the real world and if you can have one car to do it all- take you places, carry passengers, long items, but be ready anytime for a track day, have a great design and ergonomics, still turn heads without being too much in your face... Well the answer is so simple. The M2 wins hands down. And that’s What I went for . The M2. When you title a video - the best USABLE car.. saying the cayman is, is like saying a studio apartment is great for a family of 10 and ideal to hold rave parties at. It just isn’t. It’s a dedicated two seater sports car that you can’t do much with....
@@ianchi why isnt it when the cayman costs about the same? because they could just end the video in 1 min and say everyone knows the corvette wins in every area so there's no point to drive the cars and waste gas, time etc.
This is seriously such a great, non biased review out of all 3 of these cars. As you guys said in your conclusion, I'd be happy with any 1 of these cars in my garage. Wondering how your review might change now that the manual supra is out?
The price of the Cayman is a tough pill to swallow. When I was cross shopping these cars with a max budget of about $65K, I found I was essentially looking at a base Cayman with almost no options, and a base Cayman is FAR more basic than a base version of the other two cars, we're talking a 2-way non-power adjustable driver's seat.

A year and a half later, and i couldn't be happier with it, but like the video said, all three of these cars are great.
Congratulations on the nice car, Felix!
I've owned (concurrently) a 911 and an MR2 and I definitely preferred driving the Toyota.

“This is one of those gearboxes that goes, ‘Yeah, I should have got the manual.’” ~ Todd
I hated the new Supra when it debuted. Now I own a 2021 and absolutely love it. I've owned a ton of cars over the years - a manual E92 M3, Focus RS (and ST), and 6th gen Camaro SS 1LE to name a few, and the Supra is hands down my favorite. This past weekend I had the chance to take the Supra to its first track day and by my 3rd session of the first day I was able to whittle my lap times to within a second of my SS 1LE, which took me 2 years to get a personal best of 1:39 at Barber Motorsports Park. The Supra is easily one of the most underrated sports cars on sale. It has great handling, a very quick 0-60 and 1/4 mile time, great exhaust note, and surprisingly good MPG. It may not be your ideal "Supra", but it's an objectively damn fine sports car.

The M2 is what the E30 M3 used to be. Relatively small, nimble and great handling.
I think it‘s one of the best sports cars of our time. 🤙🏼
The M2 is a rolls royce compared to an E30. An E30 is likely 800lbs lighter and feels like an early 90's civic. However it is the closest thing to the "old" BMW. In all actuality, the M2 is really a continuation of what the E46/E92 M3 was comparing relative size and weight.
Seems to me if they are going to include a sedan they might as well include hot hatches. Type R, Golf R, Veloster N.
definitely is and im a jdm guy, m2 would prob be my first german car if i buy one
I could only afford my 228i xdrive Dinan Stage 1 with 340 lb.ft. torque. What a balanced platform and a great handler. I once had a 4-series loaner car and it felt like it had extra weight behind the driver. I also drove the new M440i and it didn't feel like it had 380 HP... probably because it is so much heavier
The numb steering feel is what kills all modern BMWs for me. E46 all day.
I was debating between the M2 and the Supra but in the end I chose the Supra and have zero regrets. Pure800 turbo has me around 550whp and it's an absolute blast to daily drive.. also a lot cheaper than the m2 and cayman, grabbed my 2020 for $49k.

@Alex Gervais following
@Alex Gervais The ZF8 in the Supra can reliably handle up to 500whp. If you don't exceed that, you're not going to slip.
@Alex Gervais not at all. You will notice the trans slipping around 6-650tq..you'll be fine if you're tuner can manage the tq levels.
Pure800 turbo 550whp... this has to be done with forged pistons & forged rods + methanol injection kit + a stage 3 tune on top of straight pipe exhaust and upgraded air intake, am I right?
*The fact that the Supra even came back as a sports car is a miracle.*

I'm surprised that it is not a hybrid.
The new supra plug-in-hybrid, the sportiest SUV yet...
But it's a Z4...
I was waiting for a new Supra. I figured it would be an SUV with a fastback roof....
Hello?
I’m from the UK and this is one of my favourite shows in the world! The sheer fact these are three of the cars I’ve been looked at and finally we get a good quality review / opinion from 2 car enthusiasts a lot of ppl can IMO relate too! I love it guys thank you for this content!
Glad to have you watching, thank you!
@@EverydayDriver 9:25, 400 wheel hp without a tune? Thanks in advance
@@EverydayDriver, thanks for the great content, Sirs!
I've owned (concurrently) a 911 and an MR2 and I definitely preferred driving the Toyota.
Drove one of those Supras for a weekend. What a gem of a car! Great weekend cruiser, backroad blaster, and daily driver (saw over 25mpg during my full 300 mile weekend). Wife loved driving it too...we will buy one someday
Were you surprised by how GT-able the supra is?
@@izzdin6228 I'm not OP, but my 3rd gen was a GT/sports car (and was certainly a lardass at 3,400lbs) so I've always considered them GT-able. That said anything is GT-able to me after owning NA Miatas and MR2s. My BRZ is my cross-country trip car ha ha.
...wish my wife was into (sports)cars....instead, she'd rather be in a Wrangler 😔. No, she doesn't prefer to drive a manual, but that doesn't mean that the car has to be numb. We are on different ends of the spectrum when it comes to cars and why I didn't give in and get an automatic on my most recent car (WRX).
@@izzdin6228 It did very well at it! The ride was very comfy for long drives, but very capable when the roads got twisty. That motor is very underrated from Toyota: 425+ft-lbs of torque to the wheels!
@@tallbozo great, now you've reaffirmed me that the supra is now on my list of achievable dream car. Thanks for sharing your experience man.
Last year I was shopping all three of these, I bought the supra on essentially a coin flip. You can't go wrong with any of them but I absolutely love my supra and have zero regrets.
Fantastic video, useful insights as always!
I had a deposit down on a Cayman, and backed out of the deal when I saw the Supra in person. I love my Supra too.
About to buy one myself. I can’t wait.
Did you (ever) consider the C8 Corvette? It's sort of in this ballpark too...price wise.
@@K03sport out the door, optioned similarly, the C8 is almost $20k more which put it out of my price range. Nice car though
@@pirateshipproductions5859 You're gonna love it. Don't be too hard on it during break in, but don't be too gentle. Everybody gives me the thumbs up when I drive by. I got mine in the metallic white (apparently this is the hardest color to repair chips on because the paint is a tri-coat). They look awesome in red. Black looks the worst because it just blends in with the black trim. I hate black cars.
I fucking love my Supra. It makes me smile every time I sit in it. I find myself counting down the last few hours of work so I can finally get back in it. Such a great car. Thanks Toyota & BMW for bringing more joy!
Great to hear!
@GermanCarsRule amen to that !
That’s how I feel with My m4
So true
@Hussar0 call it what you will. I have one and its a dream to drive and own.
Great comparison of these cars, I'm having an absolute blast with my 2020 Supra for nearly 2 years. Thing is fantastic.
Love my Launch Edition #250/1500! Almost two years as well, and it's amazing!
@@rsenior7140 we should do ourselves a proper and enjoy our cars on this lovely Sunday! Cheers from 🇨🇦
I bet , my doctor has a tuned Supra with over 500 to the wheels . He traded in a m4 that he loved also . He raves about the Supra .
Any reliability issues ?
Man i can't tell you guys how many of these videos i have watched over the years hoping to someday own one of the cool cars you review. I picked up my M2C in Germany on Euro Delivery two years ago and it was a dream come true and now seeing you guys finally reviewing it is just a crazy feeling. Absolutely love the car, all my friends and family love the car, it just suits me perfectly and I'm so glad i worked hard and saved to get it instead of just settling for something cheaper.
Congrats on a great car. And thanks for being a regular viewer!
How much did the european delivery cost you? you must be lucky to have had that, they stopped doing it for americans
@@henrik1743 EU delivery actually came with a discount, you didn't pay anything extra other than your flights and hotels obviously! I have family in Germany i was going to see and stay with anyways so it worked out super well for me. It's a shame they ended it i think i was one of the last Americans to get to experience it
@@exiledrabbit wow that is really crazy :o I thought that you had to pay like 6-10k $ extra for it, that seems like an awesome thing! I think only Volvo does this now for american customers
One day I might have the opportunity to own one of these. Until then, there's Everyday Driver.
Count on over paying high maintenance cost, highly depreciating and just plain unreliable ownership.
...or just get a miata or brz. Similar experience, less expensive.
@@K03sport I got the BRZ until I can afford the porsche.
Fi
987 will be painful disappointment after gt86, especially turbo. Dunno bout 981, will take test drive soon and do some comments spamming. Its better be faster than 2l toyota with turbo slapped on it😂
Or ill make sure everyone on yt knows 35k toyota js better than 65k$ Porsche
You can rent one. I rented out a Supra when I went on vacation and wow it’s an amazing machine
I feel like the M2 having 4 seats should have been noted a bit more as the video title states “usable” as the main point. However, the other two are definitely awesome cars.
Agree that’s my issue with the video. Why have usable in the title if there are no points seemingly being awarded for that usability. M2 I could literally fit myself and 3 kids can’t do that in the others.
I am looking at buying a M240i for this reason. Same engine family as the Supra
They rated it as the most usable of the 3.
"It doesn't matter if you've driven the Supra or not you already have an opinion" that's the sad truth on the internet about this damn car everyone loves to dismiss
@Hussar0 The fact is that the supra without a bmw partnership would make the the supra cost as much as a nissan gtr more then 100k plus dollars because toyota would have to make a new inline6 engine that they dont need for any of there other cars. They save themselves and the buyer money this way. The A80 supra "a great car" was the last gen supra was over engineered by toyota and was to expensive at the time and that is what made the supra disappear for about 20 years more or less. Not that many people buying it new from the dealerships.The new A90 however is a great sports car that lives up to its name buy looks and the way it performs on the road and track although its a bmw 99% its better this way cause the supra is more affordable brand new and cost less to make. Toyota didn't need to spend millions of dollars on research and development on a sports car where sports cars in general dont sell in mass. The real purpose of the A90 supra is just to show the world that Toyota can make fun cars again.
@Hussar0 Wah wah wah, cry me some more tears ya big baby
@@dtothej77kz3 lol I see this kid complain about the supra everywhere. Bet he can't even afford any of these cars to begin with. He clearly doesn't know anything about running a business, or else he'd be bankrupt. Doesn't have a clue about how much it'd cost to create a new engine and platform.
I have owned the base M2 since 2017 and am very happy. It is what BMW M has always done best: take a small well handling 4 seater, rummage through the parts bin and make it an surprisingly good sports car. I have fun on the twisty bits, am able to pack for long road trips and even enjoy getting the groceries. Two seaters may be "purer" but this car is so versatile.
M2C for me. It’s just beautiful.
Yeah, much more than the Supra and the bland-looking Cayman.
Those shots that pan across the road after the cars pass by the corner (to let you see it a little longer?) look SO COOL!
As an owner of a 718 Cayman GT4 I can say I’d be happy with any 3 of these cars. The BMW has the functionality and can squeeze 2 kids in the back. The Supra has that ‘anti-status’, ‘better value’ thing going for it that’s definitely cool. The Cayman is sublime in everything it does (except sound). If the Cayman S had the 4.0L flat-6, then that may make the biggest difference in your decision. So which would I choose? The Cayman S, if I were buying new. A 2016 Cayman GTS if you’re smart with your money and want a car that’ll probably be more reliable in the long run than the M2 and probably won’t depreciate as much as both the Bimmer and Supra.
I have the M2C, and I can tell you that I can fit myself (5'10) and taller easily on the back seats. It is actually very roomy, a lot of people are surprised about that.
+1@@thunderbolt2000k
Thank you for not just down-talking the Supra the whole time. I love my 2021 Supra, and am looking forward to fully making it mine once the parts become available.
@Will W look at this low lifer. Probably 12 years
They nailed it with this one. Without a doubt if you own any one of these 3 cars, you're certainly an enthusiasts and loving every minute of the driving experience.
Bruh that last shot is amazing. I would have started with that one so more people could have the privilege of watching. But I guess its a reward for staying till the end.
The absolutely most perfect video for me! I've been trying to decide on my next car and the Supra and Cayman are both on my list. This just clinched it for the Cayman. BTW amazing video quality and beautiful footage of the landscape in that area.
you wont go wrong with either, I ultimately chose the Cayman mainly for alittle more practical storage spaces
Great review, Todd knows exactly what he's talking about (great to hear somone talking about and understanding "chuckability") and is spot-on about BMW's lack of road feel after going from their superb hydraulic steering to now electric steering (for more efficiency = lower emissions reasons), I've had BMWs with both, the hydraulic definitely felt so much better.
2018 M2 (N55) owner here. Modified it straight after break in. On track it's great and in everyday life it still fits my 4 and 7yr olds for the school run. Today ppl want to buy it off me for more than I paid brand new. You can't ask for much more than that. Plus, it's the best looking and sounding BMW they've made in the last decade... I think I'll struggle to ever let it go.
I have a 3 and 5 year old and looking for a qwekend fun, grocery getting, coffee run car. Really torn between the M2 Competition 6MT or the new 2023 Supra 6MT.
@@chrisginoc Both great cars but you'll find the M2 more practical for your needs
The Cayman is just too expensive. I'd go with the Supra.
Because you get that level of performance over the other two.
exaclty, there are better cars for the price range, I went for the 2021 supra and no regrets, pops all over the exhaust and a perfect daily
You mean the z4?
Porsche is a premium car brand, toyota isn't.
@Prime Artemis no, I'd get a c8 corvette, now if I had porche 918 money on the other hand... I'd get a McLaren... 😂 I love porche but personally I think there's always a better car when comparing dollar to dollar performance
Mirror Lake highway in Utah, I’ve driven on this road many times.
you guys are easily the best show on youtube right now for car reviews. Great job and keep it up.
Thank you!
What in the world. 3 of my options to be my next car, in one video. This is perfect 💯
These reviews reinforce my choice for my 981 Spyder, it’s perfect. Your reviews are right on.
2 weeks into ownership of my new M2c.. couldn't be happier. This is the M car that's been missing for about a decade. And perhaps the last great M car as the rest of the lineup gets bigger, bloatier, more luxurious, and crazy-expensive.
Definitely the M2. I have driven all 3 and chose the M2 man. By far the best of these 3
This channel is simply the best car channel out there. No childish puns and flashy annoyances. Real car people stuff here . Thanks !
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoy what we do and we appreciate you watching and commenting!
It’s videos like this that made me choose an M2! Thanks for the great videos as always.
Me too, the M2 is a pretty magical car, especially as a one car solution (which it is for me.)
I own that exact spec of M2 Comp and I've driven the road they're on (Mirror Lake Highway) many times.
Good man, you can do anything you want and while bringing the dog and family as well.
Same here, happy M2 owner, never regret my choice
@@ericbishop6861 Mirror Lake Highway in Utah?
Having driving the M2 Competition before, I was really surprised to see it last in this competition. I was absolutely blown away at how good that car is. The Cayman and Supra must be very special vehicles.
The difference is like they said in the video, the other two cars are sports cars so they have better base dynamics. The BMW is right there in performance but it has two rear seats and a bigger trunk to carry around which is always a compromise.
Being an M2C owner, I would definitely agree with your conclusion. I picked the M2 Competition because of the fact that its an all-around car. If I could have purchased just a pure sports car and its between the Cayman or Toyota it would be the Cayman S for exactly the reasons you both mentioned. Great video.
I am actually looking at the M2 comp, the Supra, the Cayman GTS 4.0, and the Jaguar F-Type SVR. I have never driven any of them and after watching this video, I don’t feel so bad about not being able to decide which one to pick. If you had a problem after driving them to decide, I guess it’s just natural for me to be unable to choose. I guess at the end of the day it all will boil down to what I want to do with the car. I’m not going to drag race or track whatever I decide to go with but I plan on traveling some back roads/highways on weekend getaways with my wife and we want something sporty/“special” to travel in. Thanks for making the video. Great info.
Great review! M2 would be for me, need a back seat and the manual. I do love the Supra design but as “good” as the ZF auto is, it isn’t the driving experience I want for that type of car.
Great video! I love my Supra. 500whp 600wtq. $400 downpipe, $500 flex fuel kit, $1200 tune
If you don’t mind sharing what tune and parts have you purchased?
Sounds insane
Very top quality video. Presentation was engaging & the points discussed was entertaining. Keep it up Everyday Driver!
Glad you found it and enjoyed watching! Many thanks - lots more on the way!
wow! this is the dream comparative video... im tossing between a cayman and a supra but now that you've included the m2, im highly considering it.
Supra
Getting my Cayman S in a couple of weeks. Can't describe how excited I am...
That was a fantastic piece. Your breakdown(s) of the benefits and costs of each were at times surprising, and I really appreciated the nuance you expressed with how close these cars are.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and greatly appreciate you watching!
I went through this same list of cars and ended up with a 2021 Supra. IMO to declare the Porsche the clear winner you have to move up to the GTS or GT4. Then you have to convince yourself that those cars are worth more than double the price. I bought my Supra Premium Edition $4K under sticker which put it at $53K. When you consider the value and the fact you can add another 80HP to the car for around $1200 it's hard to pass up.
Enjoy it, the supra is seriously fun.
Completely agree. I've also had the same experience that you can get 2021 Supra's under msrp...great value.
I can’t believe that I’m just now finding this channel! Great comparo gentlemen! Liked and Subscribed! Bravo!!!
Glad you found us and thrilled you enjoyed. Thanks for subscribing!
@@EverydayDriver My Pleasure!!!!
This was a great comparison video, guys. Love the thoughtful analysis of each car, which is relevant because they weirdly have similar missions. And man, that Utah cinematography doesn't hurt, either! Great work! 🙌🏻
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it. Pleased to have you watching!
Here in Denver, I drive an OG M2 with Sport Cup 2's in the mountains on the weekends. I put it in sport mode and the exhaust note is glorious as you take those corners.
"Dad has a hidden hot car shape." Oof. That hits close to home.
Im going into the army soon... hopefully can get a cayman gts maybe.. but i also want a ford explorer sport
@@witchelreme3262 Invest all your money. Also cayman gts -> ford explorer? the hell?
You could afford cayman gts from army? Damn they must pay soldiers a lot in US... In Europe private usually have salary equivalent of mcdonald worker and can barely afford.a living, not to mention any nice car. 😂😂😂
@@Angry-Lynx Well they dont have any bills... which is why a lot of them make a mistake of buying a sports car. When they could just be saving/investing there money
@@duck8280 im not doing it going right in... i can afford it in a good 6-10 years assuming i save and all that good stuff yah duck lol i hear you though!
M2 Comp all day. Great all around, even with a new Bilstein suspension and cambers but on the track this little Bavarian Munchkin chases Caymans all day. I stay purposely behind Caymans and Supras until 2 laps to go. And that is with a stock engine. The tickling of that power plant is yet to come. Great video though. You both are competent, knowledgeable and unbiased. Thank you for your work!!
Glad you enjoyed this, and you enjoy your M2. Thanks for watching!
Hmm, I’d have to disagree about the driving characteristics. The M2 feels a lot racier than both of the others due to the way the S55 puts out power. That and the fact that you can’t have the windows down in the Supra without a migraine from buffeting; that alone makes it terrible, I’m sure most people would love to roll the window down and hear the sweet exhaust note.
All you need is to order a $15 wind deflector from online and you're good to go. Granted, it should've come with a wind deflector in the first place.
@@nf1369 Seems like a bandaid, but at least it's an effective bandaid!
@@EliasTheHunter yeah true, thank god for good aftermarket support! It just makes me sad that they haven’t fixed that yet because the B58 sounds awesome.
You guys hit it outta the park with this video. Excellent!!
Thank you for watching!
If you need four seats or it is your only car I can understand going with the BMW. If not and money is not the limiting factor it’s Porsche all day long. Though for the money the Toyota looks great, though I would wait for the manual. I admit to being a biased observer though as a former M3 owner who currently owns 5 Porsches including a GT3 and 718 Spyder.
Damn Cayman it is.. now off to find a low mileage 2020 Cayman S!
Thanks guys!! Superb videos!
I love my M2C. Works better as a daily driver and I can load my wheels into the back seat and trunk then drive to track and autocross events. Great all around car and a joy to drive.
Seems like price point Supra would win for me although I do like the 718 Porsche. I would take the extra money I saved from the Porsche and trick out the Supra. Awesome post guys!
The Supra looks much better in real life, great video
Awesome! I like how you rated all the cars at the end - i haven't driven any of them, but I equally want all of them. Great review!

Hello fellow men of culture
Agreed. New autos are cool for daily driving
Own a 2023 MT Supra. Absolutely no regrets. Great video!
Man I love this channel, you never fail to amaze me, and btw I love the Supra ❤️ and even I couldn't have expected the Supra to be better than the M2 :o,
This is such a genuine channel, well presented. I love it! My fav is the Supra, always been a Toyota fan. Great review
Glad our work resonates with you. Thanks for watching!
*get the M2 if you need back seat/larger trunk
*get the Supra if you want heads turning
*get the Cayman....? (Sorry I just can't justify paying $85k sure its the better sports car then these two. But when you have $85-95k there are certainly better options out there (like 991.2 base cerrea, F type, Corvette ect ect)
Porsche gives you better name, looks, prestige and reliability. Its not a numbers car. But I wish it bad shorter gearing and some more power.
@@Angry-Lynx my point exactly, with $85k you could get a low mileage 991.2 Carrera S
You can buy a base Cayman with good options around 65k, too.
@@strebrr lol base cayman probably doesn't come with anything.. Porsche with their options game. Gotta pay for nev, paint, air conditioning, larger breaks, navigation, back up camera ect ect
@@francisgomes9976 as I said.. "with good options". The base Cayman is ~56k € here in Germany. For ~65k € you will get enough options to have everything needed.
I literally felt like i was driving them , the video is so compelling and close to the sense's.
Thank you!
Would definitely take the Cayman but wouldn’t go wrong with any of them.
slower the better
@Classical Music Remixes 432hz When the Cayman takes a corner than , buh bye to the other two cars.
When I get a notification for these two gentlemen, I click... As always, great job gents! Two thumbs up.
Thank you!
I own a manual M2 comp and not a day goes by that it doesn’t make me smile. For the 60k mark I just can’t do a flat-4 Cayman or an auto Supra. M2 comp all day.
V4 Cayman??
M2 is pretty special, but it's the only one of these that I've driven. Would love to try a Cayman sometime!
@@EliasTheHunter my mistake flat-4. I’m sure the 718 Cayman S is awesome, however, they typically go for around 70k-75k in my area which is to much IMO. Especially when a used Cayman GT4 (which is truly something special) is not much more. At least that’s my thinking.
@@jhouser972 yeah, I hear that! It’s all way too expensive for me anyway: I’m rocking a 986 S and a BRZ for winter.
BTW it’s actually a flat 4.
@@EliasTheHunter I always liked the 986. I’m considering a used BRZ for a track build. What’s your opinion of them? The NC Miata is the other platform I’m considering.
@@jhouser972 I’ve owned 21 vehicles, most of them fun, and the BRZ is my favorite. If it died, I’d just get another used one to replace it.
NC can be nice for the track! The low cost of consumables make it a wise choice. I don’t have nearly so much experience with that gen as I do the others, though.
It would be fun to hear your opinion of the Alpine A110, but I think that's just not available in North America.
We soooo wish it came to the US.
the cayman s is my realistic dream car

@@EverydayDriver Thanks for the prompt response. Is it possible to do a show (segment) in india. Your work will be greatly appreciated here as it is top notch. Please consider. Thanks.
everybody be hating on the mk5 supra until they see one in person and then they start geeking out
Another great comparison video.
Got my manual GR Supra reserved and I cannot wait!🤩
Wow. They agreed 1,2,3. I don’t think that ever happened with 3 cars.
I have a M2 that has been built and waiting to be loaded on a Container Ship for shipment to the US, when it arrives it will be delivered to Spartanburg SC to the BMW Performance Center where I will take delivery. My son and I will be at the Performance Center for two days and we are so looking forward to being there and driving on the track.
I am past three term President of the the Tarheel BMWCCA and have loved the many BMW's I have owned through the years, but must admit the M2 is the one I plan to keep for a very long time! I so enjoyed this segment and feel that it was very informative and well done.
Engine sounds.. Damn that Supra sounds good, M2 Second.. Cayman?... I will only settle for the new Gts or the Spyder. I still can't come to grips with that turbo engine.. Overall I wouldn't mind a garage with all 3!
The 718’s actually sound pretty good as long as you get the Sports Exhaust.
The 6 cyl is just heavier and hp upgrades are minimal. I'd choose the 4 cyl turbo and tune it to get 450whp. In the end it's a lighter and better car.
Porsche engines haven't sounded good since they drowned them in water. Oh, the BMW engines are also water cooled...
One of the best car videos I've ever seen. Excellent work.
Glad you found us and enjoyed this. Thank you!
Fantastic review of these three great sport cars! I can attest to the excellent driving dynamics of the 2021 GR Supra! 👌
I love how there is no hate comments from fan boys of any brand here. Pure enthusiasts👍🏼
These are all likable sport cars with slightly different “souls”.
I own a Supra, and I feel you guys got the winner right. I like my car but it would have been perfect, if Toyota had built it! Faults, it's hard to get into and there's very little space to put things. I still like it and for the money, you can't really go wrong. Also that line "Competition, is BMW speak for how we should have built the car in the first place." I laughed out loud! 😆😆
Think you can’t go wrong with any of these ! Ultimately the supra and cayman were non starters for me because I needed some form of practicality so really my only choice was the M2. Great video 👌🏻
I'm taking OG M2
Once again the video I need even though I had no desire to purchase any of these cars. I now want a Supra, or a Cayman.
Thank you guys.
This is exactly the car dilemma I’m having. Leaning toward the M2 for all-round usability. I also grew up around BMWs so I’m fond of the badge.
You really can't go wrong with the M2!
The new Supra in black or dark grey looks like a little Batmobile. Very good looking car in the flesh.
Great content as usual
Finally a new TH-cam upload! Miss you guys. I just put my deposit down for the 21 M2 Comp.
We continue to post every two weeks to this channel and once a week to our other channel (test drive videos). Lots of stuff on the way, glad to have you watching.
I love my M2C, and chose it over the Cayman because of the engine. I do think I'll consider trading into a 911 once it's paid off. The newer Porsches are amazing.
The older Porsches are amazing as well. Porsche is just amazing, wish I could have afforded one but maybe someday.
Been following you guys since you did the Evo X back in the day (I owned one), and now I'm a 2020 Supra owner. Your videos have always been great.
Thank you. Glad to have you watching!
Paying over $80k for a contemporary four-banger is just _stupid._
So there is that.
My buddy has a cayman S and I have a ZL1. Guess who started getting bored first? :D
Great vid - Great choices - 3 of the cars that I would take in a heartbeat all lined up - Thanks!
A hard day at work never looked so fun. As an e46 owner I’m still waiting for the next version to come out of the bmw factory.
The M2 is really really close (yes I know It sounds delusional comparing an e46 to an M2) but something about the the high stance bothers me, you can see it clearly how much lower to the ground the Supra and the Cayman are. Supra in auto is a deal breaker( I’m ok with not being anyone’s friend) there are rules that should never be broken dammit. The cayman is too pricey for a 4cylinder.
A car company needs to build a car that combines all the good points off all three with none of the bad. Yes all three are fine choices but an affordable drivers cars should be a no brainer for a car company, only one can dream. In the meantime I’ll be stuck with my e46/in-line 6/hydraulic steering/5 speed beater.
I hate you guys for having the best job ever.
If the Supra had a manual, I think the results would be different. Ultimately, I think it simply came down to which car is the best to drive, and the Cayman has the best dynamics .. period. Not the best engine or price or practicality or whatever .. but when you want to enjoy driving your motor vehicle, Porsche just excels at making that happen. And they know it (see PRICE). But all three make compelling cases based on what your specific criteria are. Great video guys!!
Always the Porsche! Great review, guys - thank you 🙏🏽
Literally been visiting this channel every once in a while for years. Literally years.
I still stop by from time to time just to check if the mullet is still there. I see that it is.
Wow - if you're only watching to see hair styles, you've missed a lot of great content. Thanks for checking in.
I test drove all three and would have to agree with the power delivery: the Supra just feels faster than the M2. The cayman is a fantastic car to drive, but ultimately- we live in the real world and if you can have one car to do it all- take you places, carry passengers, long items, but be ready anytime for a track day, have a great design and ergonomics, still turn heads without being too much in your face... Well the answer is so simple. The M2 wins hands down. And that’s What I went for . The M2. When you title a video - the best USABLE car.. saying the cayman is, is like saying a studio apartment is great for a family of 10 and ideal to hold rave parties at. It just isn’t. It’s a dedicated two seater sports car that you can’t do much with....
lmao no sorry corvette.
@@dustovshio wasn’t in the review.. but I guess👍🏼
@@ianchi why isnt it when the cayman costs about the same? because they could just end the video in 1 min and say everyone knows the corvette wins in every area so there's no point to drive the cars and waste gas, time etc.
This is seriously such a great, non biased review out of all 3 of these cars. As you guys said in your conclusion, I'd be happy with any 1 of these cars in my garage. Wondering how your review might change now that the manual supra is out?
