Just curious as to who feels they traded "down" from their previous vehicle to one of the twins, or if you feel like you traded up but your friends/family/society in general didn't really agree with that decision and felt you traded down.

Example 1 (based off the former): You had a Corvette and traded down to a FR-S. You loved your Vette and didn't really want to trade, but did so say for financial reasons.

Example 2 (based off the latter): I sold my 2011 Mustang GT to buy my FR-S. I traded up IMO based off what I wanted, but a few people felt I was going from a powerhouse to an underpowered go kart (I come from V8 horsepahr country).

I had a discussion with someone about this today, so I'm just curious what everybody else's predicament was when they decided to trade in.

Be sure to post your previous ride and why you traded!
