Thill, I would not recommend you test drive an FRS/BRZ until you are ready to buy another car - that way you won't be kicking yourself in the butt for the next few years!  |
Haha, I know.. But I am excited to drive a BRZ/FR-S (if the dealers ever have one that they loan out to test drive!). I have driven cars very similar to the BRZ. I almost traded in my Mazda 3 a few years ago on an RX-8 which should have similar characteristics. The Miata (which a good friend owned and I drove several times) was a blast. He had the MazdaSpeed Miata that had lots of mods and that little car was a blast. But it was not a daily driver.. I suspect the BRZ will be close to that Miata as well.
Honestly, I am just glad there are more options out there for RWD sports cars. I welcome the FR-S/BRZ with open arms and truly hope it is successful. Lots of rumors about Mazda coming out with another RX-7, and if the twins sell well, we could see one. My best memories of driving a car with my RX-7's. Remind me of the BRZ.. Not the fastest car out there, but a blast to drive and you could really wring the hell out of that engine to redline..
It will only make the other manufacturers better IMHO.
