German cars... Fun to drive, not fun to own... I sold my M3 with 115K miles on the odo.. Tracked it and never babied it.. No major issues with it...
But was needing new steering rack, VANOS noises getting worse, AC compressor noises.. I didn't want the hassles of it all.. Sad to see it go.. Thought the FRS would be a care free replacement with warranty.. So far so good..
Missing some of the torque and the refined pull from the I6.. But the FRS is more fun at slower speeds.. Spending less also makes it more fun to beat on..
I really like the lightweight and skinny tires on the FRS.. While it might not be as good at the limits like the M3 was... It's better for everything to the limits..
