Does it need to be new? If not, I’d definitely recommend that you take a look at the 987.2 generation of the Porsche Cayman and Boxster. Reliable, especially because they have the M9A1 engine and can be had with a stick or PDK. They are the last generation of the hydraulic steering systems (along with the revered 911 997.2). Also no bore scoring or IMS concerns as with the M96 and M97 engines in the 996.1, 996.2, and 997.1.
