sounded a very 1 sided arguement that you would never win, teh writer obviosly likes the caymen, end of.

also slightly unfair as they have the 135 on long term test, so you are bound to loose some of the sparkle after a while, and likewise long term you will find fault in even the most perfect thing.
From the various onging reports on the 135i it's sounded like they've enjoyed their time with the 135i. I think you're right though, as I suspect the reviewer had a clear perception of who would 'win' before the comparison even started. Not least as the Cayman has come out on top of every other similar test I can remember in Autocar. At least they appeared to suggest that all 3 were fine cars and each may appeal to slightly different markets.
