On other hand, if u need power form frs, you HAVE t rev it all the way to 6000. So in daily commute it will be slow, unless u rev it. But them fuel eco will be worse. Seats were very tight, I'm 185lb and 6".

On positive note, the short through shifter was better than BMW e92 m3 and Audi S5. Perfect and precise shift every time.
5.8 to 100? What car do you drive? The 1.8T I get, cause it has a little more torque than the FR-S that comes on pretty early, but pretty sure it doesn't handle as well as the FR-S, which is one of it's biggest reasons for being.
