Everyone's idea of what makes the perfect car is different, and it's fine if you just want to go fast. There is certainly something to be said for having a ton of power at your control, however I have been down that road with my WRX and while it's great, to me it doesn't hold a candle to car that really involves you in the driving experience and provides a constant stream of feedback as to what's going on under the tires. It is hard to get this across in words or videos, it is really something you have to experience to have that revelation that a slow car can be way more fun than a fast car. The ultimate example of this to me is a go kart, which only goes 50mph flat out, but beats the pants off my WRX in terms of fun. The only car I've driven that has come close to replicating the go kart experience in a street car is the Mini Cooper S, and I think the BRZ will be even better than that.
