The people on this forum will generally go all crazy on you, label you a troll, preach how you must not appreciate a true sports car, imply that you have never been on a track, tell you that you are a drag racer, suggest that you would be happier with a Mustang or a Camaro (because if you want more power, you obviously want a large, heavy muscle car!) and immediately start stroking each other's egos to justify there planned purchase if you make note of any of the following:
  • 200hp is not a lot of hp
  • 151ft. lbs is really not a lot of torque
  • 2800lbs is not that light
  • 0-60 in 6.0+ is not quick
  • 25-28k is not cheap
  • Point out that the brz/fr-s is not going to be quick around any circuit.

oh... and use search... a lot...
I have been here for 3 years, I think most people here are not that bad. Some people here just used a bit harsh words, but they are great and helpful people. And yes, you should appreciate the car for what it really is and what it can possibly serve you. If you can't do that, you can never justify getting the car even it's dirt cheap. People who bought Yaris or Fit also appreciate the cars for what they are made to be.
