And coming of age where I am actually able to get one not just financially but also responsibly, it becomes harder to do so. There are plenty of cars I would chose over the FR-S (NSX, Supra, RX-7, MR2, etc) but the fact that we were all gifted with this car at this exact point in time sort of worked it's way into my life, and I'm sure there are others this is relevant to.
This is a fantastic point, and I am in the same boat as well.

Don't get me wrong - I love my recently-purchased 2013 FR-S in Whiteout, but there are far fewer choices today if you want a newish sports car (that can also be a daily driver) with low mileage, maybe a warranty, and a reasonable cost of ownership. Even more recent cars like the S2000 have already slipped out of this threshold. 350Zs are still out there, but un-abused low mileage cars are slipping away, 370s are still expensive and full of compromises, and V8 Mustangs and Camaros are overpriced for what they are.
