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.

3. Feels heavy like a mofo!
4. Gas mileage is terrible but the worst part is the gas guage drops faster than the actual mileage(for instance my car was on E with 40% of gas remaining in the tank!!)
5. I always said I hated 4 cylinders but living with a 6 cylinder is worst!


To you guys thinking about the more powerful cars over the FRS/BRZ, keep your car. Bigger coupes is pieces of shit IMHO now. I miss the lightweight feel and agility of a 2800 lb coupe even with a torqueless engine. I finally see what some of the folks on here have been saying since I joined.
man, after 3 years of hearing your constant arguments for more power and more cylinders, i was convinced that you had owned similar cars to the G35 and liked them better, only to see you post this? lol

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?

The thing is I drove G35s before and other cars like it. Living with it is another thing. I still likr the G though but I feel the FRS is better as a daily driver as I don't race. I love the power in my G and I can handle it but I live in a traffic infested state so the power/torque argument is lost on me all of a sudden.

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

My son has a G35 and he just bought a FR-S today. The G35 is not that much faster, even in a straight line.

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

You are a funny guy. I don't understand your obsession with putting these cars down each and everyday. It is, well, odd.
The first rule of forums ... Don't feed the Trolls.
