Honestly, it's embarrassing when I'm laying into the throttle, the car is screaming down the road, yet I'm just slowly creeping past the station wagon in the next lane. I still love her, but the lack of power gets annoying.

Since I totally disagree as well that the car is underpowered, it's not unanimous. And even though I have a lowly AT, I'm able to select the proper gear every time.
ETA: WTF are people doing on the streets where the stock FR-S/BRZ is "underpowered"? Easy three digits on the speedo on an uphill passing lane is enough for most people.
ETA again: This sort of thing makes Mr. Tada really hate selling cars in the US. He designed this awesome little machine, slipped it past the suits against all odds, and people still bitch.
