So, for 35k I can get either a new Saturn Sky Turbo, a new 370Z, or a used Cayman S with around 40k miles.
Has anyone owned a 370Z or Sky and can compare it to the Cayman?

I had written a long reply to your question and then my internet crashed.
In response to your question, I have driven the 370Z. Feels leaps and bounds better then the 350Z did. In terms of the Cayman. Personally, even as a currently Z owner, I'd get the Porsche no questions asked. In terms of Saturn, I can tell you that as a service writer in an automotive repair facility, we see more Saturns in need of repair then any other car company. They have a/c issue and major cooling issues. As a prior MR2 owner, you know how important cooling systems are to cars, let alone turbo cars. If you want to re-live the feeling of the MR2, get the Porsche.
