I traded from a Camaro 1SS to the FR-S when my family ran into some financial issues. I loved my V8, but I also love getting twice the gas mileage and paying less a month on the car (plus the car reminds me of my old FC). The main thing that made it possible, though, was the fact that since I was trading in a vehicle with a higher value than the car I was buying, Texas doesn't require any excise/sales tax on the transaction. I did have some negative equity, but the lack of paying taxes helped offset that.
