They aren't. In fact they are probably the very strong majority. They just don't hang out on forums so have a very small voice.

I wouldn't replace mine, but 4 doors...GTI/GLI? Focus ST? Lexus IS?

Needs to be capable on the track. This out rules alot of options. My ideal option ATM is Hyundai veloster n, or a maybe a new GTI mk8 with dsg depending how well it does on the track but with the way prices are I am going to hang onto my car. This is long term planning.

Been my daily since 2012 and will be for the foreseeable future. I love this car.

Sure with coilovers, noisy brakes, no AC, terrible gas mileage, and near 500whp it isn't the most practical or luxurious choice but it still puts a smile on my face every time I leave work! Worth it :burnrubber:

I'd be swapping it with a sport compact luxury car like BMW 3 series, Audi A3, Lexus IS, etc.

For me specifically, i'd swap it out for a Lexus IS500 :D

An all-stock BRZ/FR-S is meant to be a daily driver. I switch to snow tires from Nov to March/April, and drive in all kinds of road conditions, except 4+" snow - then I'd work from home. In fact my car is my poor-weather vehicle. Motorcycle for everything else.

Why are people who only own a single vehicle in the minority.

I had 3 cars while my BRZ was my daily. Both the others were much bigger with 4 doors.

Going on 81,000km in a little over 3 years.

Most of the mods I've done have been daily friendly. The yellows/B6 is probably most noticeable but hardly stiff compared to coil setups I've felt.

Daily. Or maybe semi fortnightly these days.
Still has the stupid sound tube (plugged at the firewall), but no oil leaks so not a lot of incentive to change things up.

Tcoat 06-30-2021 12:09 PM

Oh and the word is 'their' not "there".
Although I do drive it there as well.

since i added my RCE SS1 its nice being able to adjust the damping for soft on the street. All you guys just made me realize to suck it up. Honestly the car has everything I would want:

Adjustable damping
Push Start
Keyless entry
Dual Climate AC
Andriod Auto
Fun to drive

AND Most important! Paid off :bonk:

Why do I want another car payment in this day in age when the next car I buy really should be an EV
