It's slow, but fun. Lots of cars I've owned were like this, but they were designed in the 1980's. If you consider the inflation, those cars were a lot more expensive back then compared to ours. To be able to get a 200hp sports car for $25k is pretty darn awesome. Everyone loves to compare the S2000 to our car; well that car cost $32k in 2000 which is about $44k in today's dollars.

Considering some other cars I owned:

1987 Toyota MR2 112hp: ~$27k in 2014 dollars
1990 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II 203hp: ~$40k in 2014 dollars
1991 BMW 318is 134hp: ~$40k in 2014 dollars
1994 Toyota MR2 Turbo 200hp: ~$45k in 2014 dollars

I don't think you can beat the FR-S/BRZ for new car bang-for-buck!
