M3?
370z?
STI?
EvoX?
Mustang GT? (same with Camaro SS)

These cars are not in the same price class, if they were, I would have gotten any of them. Let's be real about this...
_____________

Genesis? - I had a 2.0t and had a blast with it. I had a lot of mods and it was fast as hell, but not very well made IMHO and in a slow speed accident it was totalled. I wouldn't go back, it's a dangerously flimsy car with terrible brakes, sloppy suspension, terrible ABS, SC and TC. But fun.

Mini- I thought about it, but they are not reliable. I hear they handle as well as the twins though- like a go kart. But a Mini S or (but it's way too expensive) a John Cooper Works is nice.

Fiat- I would not think about touching any POS that FCA has shit out. This is the least reliable car in the US right now (not opinion- it's been proven by the numbers). Dodge... ditto (FCA POS also).

Mustang 2.3t- Maybe, but it's not at all the sort of car I like. However the modding community around this car will be awesome.

Camaro V6- My wife has a RS and it's a nice car, but not my kind of car and heavy AF.

MX-5- Kids won't fit in the trunk.

TBH, the FR-S was the only car I would get for the price. It's small and agile but I can still fit my kids in it in a pinch. If I could have afforded to piss away the money, I'd have a Camaro SS. But with a 30 mile commute and Daddy Taxi services, the sticker price would only be half the problem since I rack up about 15,000 miles/year. I get twice the MPG with this than I would with an SS.

My #2 choice would be an STI, but the initial cost puts it out of range right now.
