Honestly, though, this is how everyone feels about EVERY performance car that comes out. "It needs more of this. It need less of that." What's a manufacturer to do? There's a reason an affordable, RWD sports car hasn't been popular in a while. People are far too demanding.

If power is everything, then you have choices. If handling is everything... you have very, very few choices.

Power isn't everything, and no I think you're making false assumptions. 200 hp and just 151 ft-lbs leaves a lot to be desired, especially when its coming from an engine with a low (comparatively) redline and unremarkable engine sounds.

In a perfect world (avoiding FI) the BRZ would have weighed 200lbs less, or came with a 2.5L engine (at the current price, for both scenarios). If that was the case, would I still want more power? Yeah maybe a little, but nothing that bolt-ons couldn't solve. Meanwhile to get what I want from the car as it exists in this world I need to go FI, which isn't as desirable due to the increased cost and potential for reduced reliability, nevermind loss of vehicle warranty.
