Once I actually owned the car, I wasn't sure I was ready for the world of BRZ and all the car-bashing that comes with it. I mean everywhere you go online, people not only have bad things to say about it but just completely beat on the car. I love my car for what it is and how it makes me feel when I get into it, but most of the internet is full of trolls who love to beat on the flaws of this car. Like shooting a bazooka at a dead horse. Where is the love man?
Ya, online the number crunchers like to say how "underpowered" it is but very few have actually driven it. In real life I have only had two people ever say it was underpowered but after a 10 minute ride they changed their tune dramatically.
The vast majority of the general public has no clue how fast or slow these cars are (or even what they are in most cases) but we tend to hang out with a very opinionated crowd so there are all the naysayers.
