I also would find it hard to believe that the FRS is less reliable than a 2014 Mustang, but I could be wrong.
You keep complaining about power, yet the 86 was never supposed to be about power. It is about bringing an affordable, lightweight RWD coupe to the market, which Toyota accomplished. It has won plenty of awards around the world praising it's fun to drive nature. If you want a fast car, there are plenty to choose from. If you want a lightweight rwd driver's car, there is not much of a selection, especially for under 50k. It is currently the only car you can buy that is under 3000lbs, rwd, and has the capacity to hold more than 2 passengers.
You act like the car has failed, which it hasn't, even if it ends up being discontinued.

Depends which trim you get. It can even be 25kish out the door. or 50k+
The fuel economy is about the same compared to the eco boost in the mustang.
Frs cannot back seats are 95% worthless. The mustang can still fit people without making the front passenger uncomfortable. Trunk space is also twice as much.
As for reliability. The mustang has been around for 50years. The FRS has been around for 2 going on 3. (or 3 going on 4, samething.)
I feel sorry for your passengers if you got a FRS to carry around people.
Many people will say I am mustang biased. but truly the mustang wipes the FRS off the floor on paper, and the premium trim interior for the mustang (33k) is x100 better than the limited editions for the frs/brz.
Ill still buy a frs.
