but! two things i couldn't get over:
1) the engine's power curve really kick your ass at like 2500, but you can feel it get short on breath even at 5500, so its a little anticlimactic to rev it out. so though its much more powerful and faster in every relevant metric than the brz, it doesn't 'feel' as fast.
2) it just couldn't match the 'fun' factor of the brz, with the perfectly weighted steering, seating position, and just that it feels like a small and light sports car.
the ecoboost would be a nice compromise car, but i thankfully had the ability to keep my old 05 civic as a dd, to cart the little one around and fit things in and use the brz for fun driving.
