How do you answer the follow?
 
Today I went to the local autozone to pick up some sandpaper. A girl saw me get out of my BRZ and went into the store before me. I was behind her at the register and she asked me if my car was fast.

I replied "No, it's slow, but it really hooks the road"

Now this isn't the first time I was asked this question and I always answer the same way. What about you guys?

...I say yes.

before though, i'd say "she's not fast, but she's quick" then walk off while they were confused

I've been on here too long, I was trying to find the original version of this thread then realized I had better things to do...

I just say it's not that fast but it's fun, either they get or they don't, I'm not going to wait around and explain it to them.

I would say fast enough. It is compared to a lot of "iconic" sports cars

See, I struggle with this question because the FR-S is the fastest car I've driven. She's fast to me. I have absolutely no experience with higher HP/faster cars. So I want to say yes, but this site has brainwashed me because everyone talks about how slow this car supposedly is, so when I'm asked I just go, "It's quick/agile, probably not as fast as something with a lot more horse power though." I feel it's an honest answer from what I seen here, but personally I don't feel like it's honest because it's not really my answer.

I say it's not too bad, and usually mentioning it's pretty light and it's RWD is enough to get a "that's interesting" look.

I always answer that question with its faster than my other car. If they ask what's my other car then I say a Prius!

next time just invite her for a ride, let the car answer it for her.
(better know some good roads closeby the autozone)

if shes fat and ugly, dont do that, car will scrape.

Lol, being ugly will make the car scrape?
Or you cant look right cause shes ugly and you might crash and scrape the car?

Good idea on the invite though

"It's fast around corners!"

Mr.Zoolittle 07-19-2013 07:19 PM

slow, plain and simple answer

bkblitzed 07-19-2013 07:24 PM

i saw slow as hell but really fast in the corners.

You could tell the them the car isn't about top speed or 0-60 times, that it was designed with handling being the priority .
