- Lack of torque - Mods - Stiff ride - Like - Loudness - No care Please drive one. It's not for everyone. Only 8600 of you. Or something like that, right?

No. You will not want the BRZ. It is meant to be a loud, simple template for a racecar. If you want to cross-shop relative to the GTi, you need to look at the STi or WRX instead. I would personally suggest a used STi. - brian |

Unless, he went with the 2.5L Touring, which is a bit more comparable to a Civic Sport. Also the Mazda has a lot less fake vents.

OP everything you list is something the FR-S/BRZ is bad at. Go for a test drive but expect it to not be a competitor to the GTI in those areas. The Civic Si seems more up your alley.
The Civic Si is not a hatchback. |

This car is not for every one, and that's true.
What I like about this car is when people is braking before a corner, but I can still press the gas pedal. |

I get that the GTI and BRZ/86 at different things and that I'll be making compromises with either of them. I'll go on test drives, maybe find one on Turo to see if I can see myself with this car on a long term basis.
Thanks all |

Please read what I responded to. I posted them to refute the point that the Honda 1.5 Turbo and Mazda 2.5L "don't compare" when clearly, they do. It's as simple as that. |
