The thought of what car to get after the FRS is bothersome. The FRS does everything right (althought some creature comforts can be better) but what other cars will there be that offers the same amount of satisfaction with an affordable price tag (new car)?

There are Porsches, BMWs, etc that might provide similar experience but the price tag will be much higher.

After driving the FRS for almost two years now, I know i've been spoiled with pure driving satisfaction and it will be hard to find something similar in the future that fits all the categories the FRS excels at.
This is the exact reason I think this car is such a bargain.

The real unfortunate thing is bmw use to be great at offering a good balance of sport/luxury, but those days are gone. They tamed the sportiness to sell more cars and the weight of the cars just continue to rise.

So, now you are just left with porsche, but the price jump to those are quite high. I sure do love the new cayman gt4 though. Now only if I could justify spending 90k+ on one.
