I'm 39 and considering one or a WRX. When I was 34 I bought a bright red Z06 and the wife called that my midlife car so I put that on the license plate, MIDLIFE. It was great to see people pull up behind me, read the plate, think about it and then start laughing. I almost didn't buy the car as a bit of guilt was there, but my father-in-law who was dying of cancer told me life was too short and I should just do it. Later, I sold the car to justify shifter kart racing to the wife but I miss it and later replaced it with the most fun car I've ever owned, a Boxster - again life is short. The Genesis Coupe I drive now to keep miles off the Boxster is a very nice car, killer for the money, but its not a "fun" car the way Miatas, CRX, Boxster, and the Z06 were. It's more like a Mustang where you can have fun with it and the torque is great but its big and doesn't feel willing. So I'm debating on the FRS to replace it to get back to that fun little car spirit I miss. I think the looks aren't all that midlife-ish, but certainly a lot more if you are coming from a Camry and such. Do what makes you happy.
