Adressing your dislikes:
1. if you can't live with the power, stop even thinking about it and move on. It is what is.
2. Um, haven't heard this from anyone. Maybe you aren't depressing the clutch all the way I dunno...
3. Again, haven't heard anyone have this issue. I'm assuming you don't weigh 500lbs so
4. They sell muscle cars that have plenty of HP and ride like a cloud on the street. Not going to get Porsche ride and handling at this price
5. Both cars understeer, if you are oversteering you probably need to relax your right foot.
6. What gaskets? Tail light gaskets only thing I heard of and that does not effect driving the car. The other problem I haven't heard of anyone having this issue recently, correct me if I'm wrong. Also I have a June 2012 BRZ and haven't had the issue.
7. Are you brollic or fat? I'm 220lbs of lard and no issues.

The car is an overall package. You get handling and they couldn't give big power at the same price. You can get a mustang but then you lose the handling. You have to weigh your needs with what is on the market. For me this car meets my needs and is the only car available for the price that does.
What do YOU want. Sounds like you need a muscle car.
