The GTA is so much more interesting than the other options.

“I don’t want to spend time fixing up this lovely 205.....shall I buy this shagged out Elise that’s been smashed to pieces that needs fixing up?” Does not make any sense to me

Personally I wouldn’t go with any of them. Stick with the 80’s retro theme. Renault 5 GT Turbo. XR2/3. Astra GTE etc.

The Alfa GTA, she'd look at home next to the prancing horse in your scarlet stable!

I’d go Alfa. Best option to replace the 205 ima as a somewhat practical daily.

Porsche Cayman S is the sensible choice and that’s where I would put my own money. BUT it’s your money 😂 Go for the Alfa 💪

Cayman S - I've got a Gen 1 from 2007 and it's the best car I've ever driven, late 06 onwards don't have IMS issues. If you've got the budget for a Gen 2 you'll never see bore scoring.

I don’t much like Alfa’s, but the 147 GTA is just so beautiful and seems like a wonderful car to own.

The Alfa,. That Cayman as Porsches go would not be too interesting. A banged up ex track Lotus, that would be brave!

My vote is without a doubt Alfa!

You obviously have an interesting definition of, “daily driver”. Of the 3 you listed, I think the Alfa is the least worst... ;-)

I am a broke student , an Alfa with the Busso V6 is one of my dream cars - lest insurance prices prohibit it. May I live vicariously through your GTA?

GTA all the way, it's the perfect replacement. One hot hatch for another.

My mind says Cayman all day long, better in all imaginable ways, but my heart yells BUSSO!!! gotta be really ... :)

Got to be the Alfa, every petrolhead needs to have had one at one time. Yes there will no doubt be issues with it but think of all that lovely channel content. Good luck

The Alfa - great fun - and there interesting things you can do - starting with a new diff...

Alfa Romeo 147

Has to be the Alfa! I had 1 for 9 years and was the perfect daily! Complimented my 205 GTi track car well!

Former 2006 Cayman S owner here. Glorious, fun car and practical too with a giant frunk and decent sized trunk. And the howl from behind when you floor it... lovely stuff! I’ll throw in a wildcard option of Mini JCW though. Four(ish) seats, light, sporty handling, lovely sound and feels faster than it is...

Alfa. You won't be disappointed. And you'll know the real meaning of torque steer 🤣

Alfa 147, seems everyone elae has said same, good luck.

The GTA would get my clicks way quicker than the other 2 so GTA for me

Cayman, why have 2 temperamental Italians in your life! 🤣

Alfissimo! I’ve seen a v nice GTV around recently .And the sound 😍 I think it could be the start of a modern Alfa classic revival if you ride this wave of popularity.

The Alfa, of course! But I have owned four over the last 40 years so I might be a bit bias. :-)

147 Alfa GTA. I know you like the Cayman but Alfa will make for more interesting content me thinks. I'm not an alfa man, but the GTA intrigues :)

Get the Elise - I've had a VX220 for the last 5 years and you can use them regularly - lots of small jobs you can do to improve them and make them more comfortable and easy to live with. It's not my only car but I do about 4-5000 miles a year in it and it takes enough luggage for me and my other half to go away somewhere at the weekend.

I would say Cayman, but in the interests of variety it has to be the Alfa

Loved Pépé and the music always made me smile. He’ll live again! Alfa GTA all the way with epic intro music please! Can’t wait! Bloody good channel!

Alfa GTA. Not biased of course🤪

Alfa! Owned with the heart rather than the head, I loved my Alfasud ti - it rusted away mind.. che sera sera

Sorry to hear about the 205 going. That Cayman in that colour is stunning.

Clio Williams, the only logic option after a 205 GTI.

I would say GTA, since you have a mid engine car already.

I am glad pepe is going to a good home!!! Glad a true enthusiast is getting it.

The most fun car I've ever owned, back when I was 19. These little things are pure joy to drive, still miss mine 25 years later.

I think you’ve answered your own question when deliberating over the three possibilities! Alfa gets my vote, Elise close second, but the Fezza kind of covers the two seat mid engined role for now. Get that 3.2 Busso sound on the channel ASAP!! 👍

Overwhelming! Happy to join my voice, keep it Italian with the GTA!

Cayman 987S hands down. It’s my daily and I absolute love it even more 3 years after buying it. You can also improve it a lot with interesting parts. It’s also very practical for a sports car.

I love your channel after finding it earlier this year. I really liked the 205 :( Going forward, my vote would be the Alfa. I'd love to learn more about that one as a daily.

Well at least Pepe is going to a good home and will see the road again. Personally I'd go for a Corrado vr6 storm but since its not an option I'd plump for the Alfa 👍

It has to be the Busso! They're going to be unaffordable in the next few years, so financially it's a no brainer as they're only going up in value! Then there's the sound from that glorious busso engine putting its power down through that q2 diff... and if that's not enough, that 3 door shell still looks gorgeous 15/20 years on !

Poor Pepe!! 😥😔 My vote is No.2 the Alfa Romeo GTA

Those 147 GTAs are a work of art, it gets my vote

As a former 147 owner (a selespeed no less, yeah that was relatively expensive to keep going over 4 years), get the Alfa, you won’t regret it, well your wallet will, but sod that!

Alfa 147 GTA, no doubt!!!

Alfa GTA. Good luck scrolling through 1.9k comments!!

It has to be the Elise - if you're not convinced about the ex race car then find another one. Iconic, legendary handling and a great car to tinker with.

Judging by comments already looks like its going to be the alfa lol

Alfa, would be interesting and should make a good daily

Alfa. I've had that engine. It's amazing.

Gotta be the Alfa, I have a 159 sportwagon, I’m a mechanic and always shyed away from Alfa’s due to legendary electrical issues etc but, I have to say, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. An Alfa is a partnership, not just a car to get you from a to b, as long as you look after it, it will give you the grin factor every time you drive it, and you can’t help but look at it as you walk away from it thinking, “ wow, that’s pretty “.

"less practical than the Ferarri". Is such a thing even possible?

My two favourite brands - Alfa and Lotus! Love the look of the beaten up ex-racing Elise - thats my vote.

147 GTA for me please. Having owned mine for nearly 6 years I can honestly say it that it is the most addictive, interesting, fast and practical car I've ever owned.

My 205's still are in my blood and its been at least 10 years since I last owned one...you are right, you cant put into words how they feel. Elise's like head gaskits but get one with the K20 engine fitted or the R32 VR6 fitted. The GTA understeers for England and the suspension is made of chocolate. The Cayman is the one but buy very wisely....my accountant loves them for track work and day to day driving, he's had 3 of them.

As nice as the lotus is if thats an everyday car getting in and out will drive you mad !

For the purpose of lots of future video content, when comparing the 3 choices, my vote is the Elise.

Whilst my head says the Cayman would be a much better car in many ways, I think the fact that you've had probably better 911's and kind have done the Porche thing makes my heart win out and go for the V6 Alfa! Best of luck and keep us posted!

A hard choice. Going to vote for the Lotus only because it's the car that will be transformed the most. Like the influenzo, the mystery of what surprises are in store getting it in good, road-worthy condition is more interesting to me than watching cars that are 'fine' when you've bought them.

147 GTA

We have a 147 GTA and 205 GTI on our channel and we love them both equally. You have to experience the Busso - that's for sure. Get a clean one, take car of it, and you will only see its value rise!

I'd go with the Cayman, partly because that's what I actually did but also because it is an immensely practical car with huge boot space (two full sets of golf clubs in the back, trolly in the front and space left over) that feels a little bit special to drive without being actually exotic in any way. Those 19" wheels will make the ride a bit harsh though. Believe it or not, they actually go better on 17s.

I owned a couple of Boxster 987 some years back; great handling cars. Would be really interesting to follow the challenges of owning an older Cayman. Second choice would definitely be the Alfa. Good luck whichever way it plays out. Thanks for the ongoing entertainment your videos provide.

Definitely the Cayman! 👍

Alfa GTA for me. Should be able to have fun upgrading / improving it. I like the Cayman, but they’re too obvious (I know why, but hey ho).

GTA. Elise is way too uncomfortable, you'll get chucked around like a gingerbread man in a biscuit tin.

It's time for a Renault 5 turbo,stick with 80's retro 😜

Jack the Elise is quite literally the best driving car ever made and my favourite. Don't get the track car, get yourself a good basic S1 and put Nitron suspension on it and take it to Dave Andrews for a 160BHP upgrade. I know you like your steering feel and the S1 has the best of any car, you can also feel the lightness everywhere. You must have one once, you wont lose money and you will enjoy every second. I dailyed one of mine for 10 months and 12k miles no problems, commuted into central London everyday. You do need Nitrons for the Rolls Royce ride quality though....

Alfa 147 - everyone has to own an Alfa!

Hi jack, you should always buy a car with your heart and not your head, the Alfa will make you fall in love but will break your heart after it breaks while the Porsche will make you sleep night. Good luck Michael

Cayman: but a 2.7 (same wonderful handling, no bore score issues, plenty enough power to be fun on public roads, two boots, and a late model is very, very unlikely to have IMS issues). I bought one and I’ve been smiling ever since.

Please choose the Alfa Gta. The busso is amazing and such a great sound.

Cayman !!! (I’m sad to see Pépé go, but your almost convinced me to buy a 205 GTI)

If you want a practical, light follow-up to the 205 GTI, check out the Lupo GTI.

Had a cti back in the day when I was 18 ! Now in my 50’s, have a GTA as a daily. Fed and watered, very reliable and still very rare. Good ones always go up in value. Mines worth more now then I paid for it 10 years ago. Now doubt the Caymen’s a great car, but once you’ve driven a decent gta with a q2 diff I’m sure you won’t regret it.

Alfa - most interesting choice imo mate 💪

I'm going to go all Brewster's Millions on this one and say "None of the above!"

Lotus Excel - imagine the fun getting all the bugs out of it.

Porsche Cayman S, best compromise for sport and daily driving

Think a Lada would make for an interesting buy!

Hope you but the Alfa, look forward to some great engine noises from the Busso!

Sad to see 205 go but great news it’s off to a good home. The Alfa 147 GTA is a no brainer apart from guaranteeing to putting smile on your face there will always be KZfaq content. 🙂

Alfa Romeo is my vote, in Portugal we have a saying about Alfa ownership, you will be happy twice, when you buy it, and when you sell it, although they are drop dead gorgeous, if they are not spot on with maintenance history, you will be in trouble

147 GTA :)

Not much of a choice, sounds like you’ve already made your mind up. Either that or you set us up 👍🏼

Cayman. Probably the most reliable out of those three and it's still got a bunch of space. Sublime handling too.

Alfa all day long - you know you want it, it’s red, it’s Italian, it’s engine alone has so much back-story. You’ll fall in love all over again... ahhh!

Elise all day long! Have some excitement going to work!

I think in years to come you’ll say “I once had a 205 Gti, I wish I still had it” My vote goes to the Porsche, also one of the best driving cars around. Good luck.

I've owned 2 Elise series 2's and used them as a daily, but never a series 1. Nice to have in the summer, a pig to live with daily on a cold, wet winter's day. Have owned two Cayman S phase ones. Bore scoring and IMS isn't as big a problem as the internet would lead you to believe, and these issues can be swerved with a good inspection and proper oil. I currently have a Busso V6 in the guise of an Alfa GTV Cup, (I'm about to put it on the market if you're interested and I'm based near you). It's low miles under 60K and one owner before me and a very, very comprehensive full-service history. Oh, and I also had two 205 GTIs back in the day, both 1.9. My feeling is the cayman is the most complete. The Alfa the most special. Elise the most engaging. The Pug the most honest. With that said, an Alfa would be a must-have, especially if you've never owned a Busso.... and possibly a well-sorted cup (155 made, less on the road now).

I have owned and run each of your options as a daily driver. Elise (with sports exhaust K&N air filter) fabulous handling and sounding car but impractical in the wet- getting in and out with roof on you need to be 5" and 10 stone, you will need asbestos hands to remove whatever you put in the luggage compartment after a short drive and it will refuse to stay on the road (in either wet or dry conditions); GTA fabulous sounds but unreliable and watch for corrosion- rear window replaced twice in the same winter after remote popping of tailgate resulted in rear screen disintegrating into 1000's of pieces and after six months of use the exhaust started to corrode; Cayman S (PDK in black with sports exhaust) great handling, fabulous gearbox, faultless driving and ownership experience throughout. Head:Porsche, Heart:Lotus, Sounds:any of them

I would say the alpha have had one of these cars Those V6 engine’s sing beautifully

The Elise will be an absolute pain as a daily driver so that's got my vote 😂

GTA for sure. I think it’s a car that every petrol head should drive once at least, if not own at some point.

It has to be the Cayman due to the quality of the engineering alone.

Friend has an 06 Cayman, bulletproof reliability. Sorry your 205 story ended sadly.

I am shedding a tear to see Pepe go. Pity the Peugeots are not an option here in the US or I would find a 205. My vote goes for the GTA as the most interesting vehicle to watch. Nothing in life is ever as beaten up as an ex-track car, and Caymans are just so......common. Have fun with your purchase!!

Cayman all day. Best car there. I have always been underwhelmed by Alfa's and the Elise will be a nightmare day to day.

busso busso busso!!!
