The RSX has great steering and the shifter feels great. The engine is hellishly thrashy at higher revs though. Also, while the RSX takes small bumps more comfortably than the FR-S, big bumps are horrible - while the FR-S handles them really well.

well, in fairness to you. even improving the torque dip and adding a slight increase in top end hp would make the FRS/BRZ that much more enjoyable. but hey, that's what the aftermarket is for, right? |

I can see where he comes from. Although I have heard my share of people who run their mouths when they find out I traded my GTR in for the FR-S....My reasons (personally) is that straight line was getting boring and the car drives itself really and anybody who knows how to drive an auto can drive that car....The FR-S is a blast to drive (especially in the hill country down here in San Antonio), a true driver's car, and I will be honest say I do miss my GTR but I don't regret it as I know I will have another one soon and FR-S can be my new and efficient DD. Now I do have plans to utilize the fact that this car weighs in at 28xxlbs and make this power to weight work in my favor.....and I am not doing the LS swap (fucks up the weight distribution too much)....My goal is to have it at around 350-400 by next spring

Umm, how much do those vehicles cost again? What is with the obsession over the stop light gran prix?
