(Lightwieght drivetrain parts for now, maybe a basic tune.) You'll feel after a few months that Toyota/Subaru were such pussies when they tuned this car. So if you aren't SURE you want the FRS and know EXACTLY what it's about, you might end up getting rid of it pretty soon also.

My STI always pissed me off though b/c it had 300bhp and it couldn't slide around turns, and it had crazy understeer past the limit. I had a 2001 S4 before that with even worse understeer.

So I needed a car like the FRS without understeer. I'd never get it if I lived in a snowy place. But other people said the aids really help a lot so maybe it could work.

we have alaska drivers up here with studded tires. it works great with studded tires. its not so bad on blizzaks. you will be suprised what people drive up here. take it with a grain of salt as these cars I have seen are only on city streets. Now my WRX with Blizzaks in the country side , i have no problem.
