No wonder they cannot understand why cars like the FR-S, BRZ, MX-5, s2000 and MR-S can all be glorious to drive without more than 200WHP.

This. This right here.
I would not have bought this car had I still been in Houston. Driving in straight lines sucks.
However, now that I live in the hill country, this car works better than most for 'spirited driving.'
Let me tell you, when you're driving these rolling hills with 2 way traffic, I push the car plenty. There has never been a time while driving on some serious hilly and windy roads where I was like 'GOD this thing is slow'. Rev match, keep your RPMs over 4500, take it to a fun hilly, windy, road with not more than a 100yds in straightaways at a time.
That's what the car is meant for.................... Except I still think I'll go FI
