Very cool story. Yes, you are deinfintly way down on power based on what you are used to, but from a practicality perspective you will probably double your MPG, while at the same time, have a fun car to drive (in other words, the FR-S is far from being a Prius!).

I love the 1 Series BMW, but after dumping a ton of money into a BMW 10+ years ago I quickly realized that they were not practical for daily driving unless you lease a new one every 3 years that is fully under warranty.

Look forward to seeing your future mods. I came from a more powerful car as well, but I am actually pretty happy with the power in the BRZ. Yes, it could definitely be faster, but 90% of the time the power is more than enough.
