I can save you some time if you'd like, based on what you said here, you won't be buying the car. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my little red FR-S, but I went into it with my eyes open and knew what it was going to be. At the risk of being judgemental, I think you are expecting it to be more than it really is.
It's a car that gives you all the tools to have street legal and light track use fun. It may even be more than that with a few mods or in the hands of a more skilled driver.
It is not a pocket rocket, and wasn't intended to be. No "sustainable fun" street car I've ever driven had huge amounts of horsepower. HP give you bragging rights, and will make me smile, but only in short bursts. This car makes me smile constantly.
I've got around 600 miles on mine and every mile came with smiles. Even when the perverbial soccer Mom in the Honda Van today decided to power away from me at the stop light (yes that happened, but I wasn't really trying to prevent it).
For those that asked earlier, now that I've loosened up in it, and can drive it like I own it (rather than I'm borrowing it) it truly does channel all those great memories from my MK1 MR2 (all 110HP of it).
