Good lord it's like a funeral in here. When I first got my car I LOVED it. Every time I got in it I would giggle and sling it around....just the best. So next month will be a full year for me driving this car and you know what has changed? Not a damn thing.

While I've had this car I've had the opportunity to drive much more powerful and easier to drive cars and while I've enjoyed them, at no point have I thought I'd rather have them than mine. I guess Going through the back half of college with a 2dr base civic with a manual gave me a different perspective on what is required to be a convenient DD. Other than moving furniture, the FRS has never let me down for day to day practicality. And as far as having to rev the nuts off of it to get power....WHO DOESN'T LIKE REVING THE NUTS OFF OF IT?!

In all seriousness if it's not the car for people I'm glad you guys are thinking about switching. Why drive a car you don't love? My real concern is the long term viability of a platform where, not even a year in, a good half of the community so pumped about the car that they sit around on forums talking about how the love it are jumping ship. I can only imagine what your average, non-enthusiast thinks about it. I fear that the next year will see the used market flooded and all the people on the fence will go with a cheaper used example and new car sales will tank. S2000 pt2. Also I hate to admit that the people trolling this car saying things like "once the hype wears off you'll wish you had more power" and "could've had a wrx/v6 mustang/etc etc" may have actually been right. I need a drink.

TL;DR:
