See, now we're making sense. If you want to pity me anything it's that I'm in Houston where the curvy bits are few and far between. My biggest kick lives in the on and off ramps which thankfully are smooth, banked and made for speed.
But therein lies the difference. The FR-S is my DD. I don't have anything else to "take". So I let it do what it does well, which is be mild-mannered and thrifty during the day to day commute, and loads of tire-squealing, tail-happy fun on the track once a month. Burning fuel just for the sake of it doesn't seem like fun to me; I feel like one of the things that makes this car so special is you can have the best of both worlds.
