| Audi's a making good cars these days and the TT finishing on top in this comparison judging by how often I see it. On a daily basis I see at least 5-7 of them, the expensive TT-S is incredibly popular and I do come a cross at least once every day. It's hard to deny that the TT-S is the most eye catchy car in its class, the LED, sleek body kit, avantgarde lines and chromed out side mirrors does the trick.Audi has made an affordable roadster with supercar design attributes. |

| Wow all 4 are so close in performance and price, it is hard to pick on those two categories alone. Regardless, the Z4 for me.

It is a good bit expensive as well but that is what you get with Audi "S".

| Easily Boxster for me. Best looking of all 4.

| The Boxster, according to AMS, is the clear winner of this comparison but gets relegated to last place because of costs.  Seriously: somebody shopping in this class to begin with is usually well-off and isn't too concerned with costs. Before buying any car here these guys should make sure that their finances can cover these cars in the first place. New BMW Z4's comfort is criticized but what shocked me was its handling qualities, which AMS also criticized. What is going on here?

| TT has a good front but the rear is really week. Boxster is too girlie, Cayman is the better looking car. Z4 has the best design, outside and inside, the design is complete. Unfortunaly BMW has made the new Z4 too soft and more usable. My hope goes to Z2.

| After reading the article ,it's kinda sad to see the new Z4 weigh 100 kg more than the others and 150 kg more than the Boxster. Of course the new Z4 won't stand a chance against the others in handling with a killer weight like that. I really hope the new Z4 will come with a fixed roof. Heck my babybimmer weigh less than the new Z4.
