I'd have to say for most driver's they would have a harder time driving the Cayman S compared to the M3 or 1M. The dynamics of driving a rear heavy car is drastically different than say a car with 50/50 or even a front heavy car 54/46. The Cayman S is 45/55.

The reason M3 get such high praises is because model after model it makes novice driver's look "exceptional" because it's easier to push the car to it's limits due to it's "exceptional" balance.

Though that's what performance driving schools are for. Most people that purchase these cars would just go out and think "Oh it's the best handeling car according to...." and end up looking like a fool or wrecking.
