I don't know about anyone else I only know why I bought it. The moment somebody released a relatively affordable, light weight, RWD sports car, I knew I really wanted one. There may be some truth that the youth buyers will be eager for more power, that's their preference. Give me 300-400 hp when I was 16-17 years old I'd probably abuse it. Fast forward to today, and driving has been a critical component of my employment now.
I've had the opportunity to drive many many different models of cars. I now see the folly of cars built to a spec sheet. Yes the Mustang GT is very enjoyable especially if you can legally push it...the problem is I actually can't legally use the best bits of that car. If there was some road with no speed limits, the Mustang suddenly makes a good deal of sense. I don't have that, I instead drive in a city full of super slow, boring drivers resulting in much traffic. I decided that excess power to the degree of over 200 doesn't make a lot of sense anymore. Yet there are still some roads left here were there are some nice corners the only caveat...speed limits...it left me thinking what can I drive that maximizes that aspect of driving fun? The answer is a RWD light weight car. I had to say no to the Miata and S2000 because I do need to carry more than 1 person. Then this car shows up, I made sure my parents were ok with the rear seat comfort, I was more than satisfied with the car's performance...and now I've owned this car for 1 year with no regrets.
