That's why I didn't buy a Mustang, because I didn't want to be cruising a GT just to look over at a stop light and see grandma driving the stripped down base model V6.
The FT86 is not a high production model, like Civics, Accords, Camrys, Mustangs and all the other "one size fit's all" models car makers are churning out. |
To be fair, the K24 engine is pretty awesome with gobs of smooth torque throughout the rev range. It felt pretty strong in my test drive when I took a SI out.
But yeah, the Civic didn't do that special emotional thing that the BRZ did when I took it out for a spin. Although for someone who needs something practical (like say... has a kid, for instance), a BRZ probably isn't an awesome choice as a DD.
