I enjoyed my AP1 very much with its bolt-ons and 4.77 gears, but like everyone else said, somewhat impractical. Especially since I stored it during the winter. My FR-S is everyting I wanted the S to be (minus the power) but to be honest, driving around town the FR-S is quicker. The F-20 has gutless low end and midrange where as this boxer seems lively under 3k rpms. I have not regretted my purchase after three days and 300 miles, I am loving this thing more and more. I actually WANT to drive this car everywhere! I found the S to be exhausting to drive and I often took my Civic if I ran errands.
