If it makes you feel any better I work in a professional setting also. My boss came into my cubicle last week to talk about my car. She thought it was some sort of expensive super car when we all know it isn't. I've received numerous compliments on the FR-S. All these people didn't care if it was a scion and I don't either. Sometimes a beautiful car is a beautiful car no matter the brand.

As someone who is probably older than most of the FR-S owners out there, I'm 51 and got the car less than a year ago, I can tell you that I love my car. I've had muscle cars in the past and a boat load of "family" cars, but this car gives me genuine pleasure to daily drive. I haven't done too many mods... Yet, but I still love the way she handles and the few things I have done give her a bit more giddy up. Granted, there are a lot more twisties around here, but I also love the flat out punching the pedal and feeling her response. Do what you must, but I for one, will never regret buying my FR-S. JMHO

At 51 one you just barley qualify for the older crowd discount in here. You would be very surprised at how many of us are even older that that.

There are still much older (Lunatic and Humfrz) come to mind.

Drove the 2015 X1 that is based on the prior generation 3 series, from what I have read. Felt just alittle sharper than my wife's Honda CRV, and not nearly as precise as the BRZ in handling. But you are right, did not feel every pebble in the road like the BRZ and the X1 was smoother and quieter inside. |
