I can only afford one car that is kind of a middle ground of everything, but if I already had an S2000, it`s a no brainer for me.
Mokinbird, the problem is one S2K is built beyond my personal driving ability. As well the AP1 has 130k miles on it at this point and is reaching it's endings, anything I do replace the AP1 with will need to be a RWD sports car as well and I'd honestly prefer a new car. That leaves me with only a few options and all of the alternatives besides the BRZ are blagh.

Genesis feels sloppy in comparison
Mustang GT is all power no finesse
Miata is less power + better handling but I'd like to avoid another soft top. And this puts me in the same dilemma I'm in now

The navigation doesn't bother me 100% as much because I know with cars like this selling the navigation to FRS owners who didn't pick one up won't be all that bad (so I'd imagine).

I'm one of those twisted individuals that took a RWD sports car out in the middle of New Hampshire's worst snow storms... And loved it
