That's unfortunate. I originally felt that way when I traded in my NC MX-5 for the BRZ. But I've grown to love my BRZ more than, if not equal to my old NC. The BRZ is the better car stock for stock, and the added practicality makes it that much better.
My NC was SCCA STR specced, so the limits have been raised to incredibly high levels. I was able to corner at speeds that would land me in jail if caught. With the BRZ, I'm perfectly fine keeping it almost stock. I do plan on putting in a couple of carefully selected mods that fit well within SCCA's Street Class. But it'll be a street car with the ability to carve canyons and win(hopefully) autocrosses.
I will say that the BRZ has made me a better driver. It's such an easy car to drive. The NC was also easy to drive, but the short wheelbase made it a little tricky at the limits.
The only car I'd trade my BRZ for is the new Cayman. Which was the benchmark for the Twins(well, the older generation Caymans anyway). And I'd go for a 6MT GTS with the torque vectoring and sport suspension as the only options. Even then, it would be very hard for me to part with this car. So I'll probably end up keeping it.
