Plus, I bought the car to have fun while driving around. I appreciate it getting good gas mileage, but if it only maxed out at 25, that wouldn't have stopped my purchase lol.
I think the main problem is that for the main group they are trying to appeal to, the car is practical for half of them. When someone has kids it really hinders being able to buy the equivalent of a 2 seater(my seat goes all the way to the rear seat).
Love the car, but the tC unfortunately is more of a practical DD and is probably why the car sells so well. |
I originally went into the dealership to look at TCs after seeing my first one in the wild (Canada eh) and tend to agree it would be much more practical for a family. Still far from the most practical but yes more so (see mini vans and SUVs for most practical)
For me the FRS is as practical a car as I could ask for and it suits my needs perfectly. No problems in the snow, only need one seat much les two and the mileage is pretty much is self explanatory.
This car was never targeted at the family segment in the first place so I don't think they are missing "half of them".
Who they are missing, is the "need more power" segment that would truly make this a "toy" vehicle. In the real world (not Forumland) there are probably just not enough of them to support the cost of the production upgrades some want.
I don't think they could lower the price or make a cheaper version as they are probably playing it pretty close already.
