It's like I told someone who was bagging on the power in these cars: I didn't buy it for raw power. If I wanted that, I'd have gone for a Mustang GT or Challenger. I bought the FR-S because my preferred driving is done on twisty turny winding 2 lane roads in the hills of Western Marin and Sonoma counties. That's where I have fun (since it's an alternate way home some days when the highways are backed up). I wanted a car that would feel stuck to the road that I could throw around those curves so that's precisely what I got.

I bought it because I had a mustang for a daily driver lol. It was an expensive daily
