So its easy to get excited about the concept of this car. Reality is it falls short on so many levels. You just need the perspective of spending time in other drivers cars to see it more clearly. When I was doing my bitch fest review, I had just come from multiple S2000 ownerships, Exige, etc etc. Almost 2 years later been working on fixing up a 98 Prelude for my mom, and after driving it for a month the FRS is even more disappointing. When I find things in a 15 year old car that are better. (excluding wrong wheel drive)

Twins, great idea poor execution. Half baked sports car.
Is there a car you would have rather have bought for the same money? I am curious. I have watched your review videos, etc. and am interested in these sorts of things. Having bought the base FR-S, I am not sure what I would have got instead except for something used. Having much more experience than I in these sorts of things, I am curious what you think overall as to a better alternative.
