Now I just turned 39 years old a few days ago. I don't have kids, my GF and I own a house, and I've been at working for the same company for 20 years. I think I have my crap together for the most part. I've always loved sports cars, I just sold my 86 Porsche 944 turbo a couple years ago and I loved it till the maint. expenses were getting to costly. Now before I ordered the FR-S I was at a crossroad, do I get back into sports cars or a boring sedan? Logic and practicality says to me, go sedan. More passengers, MPG's, safety ratings etc. etc. etc…. I'm going with my passion and love for driving sports cars! I guess my attitude is I only live once, so get or do what you want…..responsibly or within your means. Please excuse the ramble, but I was just curious if there was any other owners out there that had these thoughts cross there mind prior to there purchase. I'm sure once I roll off the lot I won't think twice about it. Thanks for your time!    |
Safety ratings so far have been really good. I drive an MT and get 27-28 mpg (was averaging over 30 before I did my Visconti tune). And if you dont have any kids, no need for lots of passengers. I say..have fun with it. One final note, I've heard that the 86 is marketed more towards the over-40 market in Japan, as they are the ones who can afford to own/drive one.
so...
