I had my 500 Abarth (2013) before I decided I needed to get back to a RWD coupe (BRZ). The Abarth had about 50,000 miles when I sold it. Not a single issue. It was fun and a blast to drive. For those...

Coming from an RX-8/R3 which I adored, yet could "see the writing on the wall", I completely sympathize with your post. And like you, my BRZ has made me not miss the RX8 so much anymore!

For the 2013-2016 models, I actually think the lower level "Premium" trim on the BRZ (and its equivalent in the FRS) will hold up very well. The only issue with the higher level trims is that the...

I really wanted a 370Z a few years ago, but got an RX8/R3 instead. Glad I took the advice of some friends who told me the 370Z was not a joy to drive (a faster car than the RX8, but not as much fun)....

I've watched these guys attempt to do car reviews in the past. How did they ever get to be popular?

They are cringe-worthy in their reviews. They don't sound very knowledgeable most of the time,...

The Miata is a great car. I wouldn't mind having one. Yes, the styling is not for everyone. The styling of the FRS/BRZ isn't for everyone either. This is one reason I got a gray BRZ - it doesn't look...

The only new cars in this price bracket would be the Miata or the new Fiat roadster (aka Fiata). Nothing else in this price bracket new can touch this car's attributes at 24k. I looked. Nada.

I had an Abarth and traded it in on the BRZ I now drive. No regrets. Wanted something with less bodyroll and with RWD. The shifter was atrocious, but the rest of the experience (sans bodyroll and...
