Manual has no Snow mode...hmm that comment about the FRS really makes me wonder about the suspension tune up. If is it a typo or if it's actually tuned differently. Either way Im for both cars! Great review thank you for posting.

Most informative review I have read yet so far. Curious how the premium gets the small brakes amd smaller wheels. Anyone got a pic of the 16s?

Huh, most detailed automatic review I've read for a while o.O;
I'm curious about the push button start though. @Quantum/Hong do you know/can you ask if its like the tC rs series with the fob push button to start or is it more like the S2k where you stick the key into the ignition and then hit the button? |
