Now, that's a tough one.....
On one hand you have "a happy wife is a happy life".
On the other hand, although those other cars are fine machines, they may not be as fun to drive.
You may try to convince the wife that it being a leased vehicle, really has nothing to do with its mechanical problems.
Also, you may be able to convince her, that in general, the FR-S/BRZ has shown to be a reliable vehicle and that you just got one with a wonky connection in the drivetrain.
Second to the last resort is to get out of your lease, go over to the next dealership and get a BRZ .... which will only work if your wife is not well automotive read.
The last (but not the worst) resort is to go with the wife's desires. Hey, its just a car and can be traded or sold ..... a good wife is hard to find ..... and can't be traded or sold ....
