i'm leasing mine and approaching the 2nd year out of 3 and i also find it amazing how it handles through turns...you can just steer the car with the throttle
i would take it out for a joy ride

(close to 100 miles) almost everyday of the week but then realized i was racking up the mileage way too fast lol so now i have to hold back alittle on taking it out for a spin
I would probably go with a BRZ after contemplating on owning this car and then definitely changing the tires out for something with more grip.
