Motor Trend's $28K Bang for the Buck (spoiler alert!)

July's Motor Trend compares 6 cars discussed ad nausem here against each other, including the twins. They wanted to include the V6 Camaro as well but GM didn't have "one available".

The article is not on their website that I can find, but the end result is:

6. Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec
5. Volkswagen GTI
4. Ford Mustang V-6
3. Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring
2. Scion FR-S
1. Subaru BRZ Limited

Primary difference between the twins seems to be the suspension preference and they considered the Subaru a better value if you want the extra bling.

Randy Pobst quotes:

FR-S: "Stability controls have allowed setups like this - too loose at entry, a real drift car".

BRZ: "Bravo, Subaru (and Scion), and thank you for these proprioceptor-pleasing injections of the driving drug, the BRZ is better balanced."

The article is 10 pages (20 print pages because of ads) and no single chart compares all of them, but definitely worth a read.

Article on website now (thanks Astericked Accolade): http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...or_comparison/

Very cool, I must read it.

Scans or it didn't happen.

And this is why I will be getting this car. I have looked at the competition and used car market and I cant help but love everything about it.

Working on it.....

I feel a bit weird saying this but...thanks Dad!

you're a lucky son :)

That's it then, the FRS is rubbish! Everyone cancel your orders and run to the BRZ! ;)
None of them appear to like the FRS better, someone give it a consoling hug.

You're welcome! And remember (if you've read the "what does your user name mean") the Dad in Dadhawk stands for "Death after death" so it's all good, and if not, well here's a sticky grenade for you....

I just went outside and did that. She seems to be fine.
