I seem to like the FRS more everyday...
 
Bought the MT about 1 month ago. I love how it's lightweight and is all around a good sports car. Gawd I hope this market of light weight rwd MT sports coupes gets bigger and with more manufactures. Would love to see a honda rwd COUPE for example. And a nissan (lightweight 240 type car, not a Z). I wonder what's gonna be out there in 10 years?

I love my FRS so much I actually cleaned out my garage to make a space for it. I haven't done that for my prior DD cars (a 335i, an IS350, G35S or my current DD G37S).

The FRS is my secondary car that was meant only to replace my beat up old 2000 Solara, but I love it so much I refuse to park it on the street, or even outside in my driveway. I don't think I've loved my a car so much since my first ('87 Integra... I'm old).

In 10 years every one of Import will be a Go Kart with light weight and a motorcycle engine in it.

Because, it seems people like that.

Still I'm excited about the new civic typer r, which is supposed to have 270+hp turbo, even if it's fwd.

I'm at a year and 25,000 miles of happy ownership. It's been through so much this past year... I don't regret anything at all with the car. :)

It's filled that void I've had for so long without my 280zt...

I was 99% sure when I bought mine and had doubts for a few months. I had been looking at Genesis Coupe, Mustang GT, Camaro, Charger, Lancer Ralliart, WRX and a couple others. Now when I look at those other cars I am 100% sure that I bought the right one. From the style to the cabin to the performance, it is an unbelievable machine. :burnrubber:

I love it, but I can't fucking stand the chirping. It sounds like a woodpecker is living under my hood now. If I could fix it I'd dance a jig.

I bought my FRS as my daily driver a week ago and love it. Drove from Atlanta and got 38 mpg on the highway and am averaging 32 in town. I have not driven my Porsche 928 since, the FRS is just so nimble and light.
