Just get a nice CAI and full exhaust system, you wont be able to hear that motor noise and will enjoy the nice exhaust note of the car ;)

Appreciate the effort though.

I do agree that it may have been fairer to only have 2 grown men in the front, with an Elise/Exige or Cayman holding the same 2 (given that they can't fit 4).

Having said that, it could be argued that if a car is designed with 4 seats that can ( just about) fit 4 grown men, it is only fair to test drive it with 4 grown men in the car.

Great review. I feel like getting a Cayman S/R now!

Not everyone is lucky enough to know two full grown midgets.

I don't drive my Evo around by myself and then go test drive a FR-S with three of my buddies in tow to give a "non-subjective" review.

But I'm really here for the car.

I was worried about the interior. Huhhhhh. I wonder if the BRZ's interior is better. In my experience, Subaru's interiors fit and feel was much better than anything from Toyota.

you must not be asian or know any asians :)

Calidrifter 06-22-2012 01:08 PM

No I'm not Asian but i have plenty Asian friends. But they all seem to be taller than 5'6", my shortest friend is 5'4" and he fit fine in the passenger side back seat with my girlfriend in front of him, shes 5'3".

But not everyone who is going to be in the car is going to be of that size or in that arrangement. I think it's reasonable for two people around 5'4" to be comfortable to be sitting on the same side. Anyone else would've had their knees pressed against their chest.

Not many people know this, but the Challenger is actually a small mobile country. :D

I've heard that when purchasing a Challenger, they not only give you your registration, they also issue you a zip code.
