For me it would be a Genesis 3.8 GT (actually had one ordered before stumbling across the FRS)
Exactly. I did consider a couple of used Z4 BMWs, but could not have afforded a new one. Still, 27k would have gotten me a fairly recent model. In the end, I decided that at 59 years old and at 6'1", it was too hard to get out of the Z4. Besides, I love my FR-S!

I also looked at the Mazda Miata, but there are just too many of them on the road and I didn't like the safety issues that come with convertibles. After seeing the recently posted crash photos of the FR-S getting T-boned, I am sure now I made the right choice.
