Every time I drive my dad's 2008 corolla I feel like the thing wants to escape me. The steering is so loose I'm afraid one time I'm going to turn the wheel and nothing's going to happen. Not to mention the fact that it takes twice as much distance to fully rotate the wheel in either direction than my FR-S. The only thing I like about the differences in driving is the corolla doesn't really care whether the air conditioner is on or off, while the FR-S tends to crawl a bit with it on.

So I haven't driven my FR-S in exactly 1 week. At first my Impreza just felt awful. A week later, I realize that at 100k, it's still a great car for what it is. The handling doesn't feel as sloppy as when I come directly from the FR-S. I say this, but I know the second I get back behind the wheel tomorrow, the Impreza is going to feel like a pig again. This past week has given me hope that I'll survive the winter without driving it though.

I recently got an '02 Accord 4cyl AT sedan as a daily driver. I really love being able to hop in that thing, start it up, and not stress in the slightest about hitting stop and go traffic on steep hills or parking and door dings in general. And it soaks up the terrible road surfaces around where I live, and I never have to think about angling over steep driveways, speed bumps, or parking curbs. It's like driving a couch. I hated it the first couple of days while convincing myself it was worth it, but now I love it. I don't love driving it, but I love that it's a stress free transportation device.
And now when I get in the FR-S...holy balls. Everything about it feels so much more amazing than I remembered it last...driving position, steering feel, handling, power delivery. There is no better mod for the FR-S than getting it a transportation appliance acquaintance.
