First let's organize your thoughts by determining and prioritizing your needs over your desires.

Let's get back to basics here...you own a 5-Speed Base Focus so from the looks of it, I am assuming your previous car's purpose was to be used as A-B transportation or to run errands.

Have you thought about how your life would change by going from (I'm assuming) a 4-door to a 2-door? From going to 5 seater to a technically a 2-seater?

Here are some questions to think about:

- What did you like the most about the Ford Focus that you would want in your next car?
- What was missing from the Ford Focus that you have always wanted in a car?
- What are are the three most important aspects to you between Size, Performance, Appearance, Comfort, Economy, or Reliability?

Comparing Size
- How often do you drive with more than 1 passenger?
- Where do you park your car?
- How did you like the size of your last vehicle?
- How do you feel about driving a smaller car compared to your Focus?
- What kind of activities do you do that require a car (like to haul things around).

Comparing Performance
- How often do you drive in situations which require great acceleration (uphills, freeway)
- How important is power?
- How important is vehicle weight?
- How often do you drive on contouring, twisty roads?
- What's your ratio of city vs. highway driving like?
- What do you think about off-road driving (track, autocross).

Comparing Appearance:
- How important is other people's perception of your car to you?
- How proud would you feel knowing you would have a car that looks like it costs double the amount (BRZ) to most people.
- How important is the interior layout of a car to you?
- What characteristics of the interior are important to you?

Comparing Comfort:
- How much time do you spend in your car?
- How open are you to feeling most bumps on the road?
- How important is ride noise to you?
- How important are driving ergonomics to you?
- How important is road visibility to you?
- How important is your drive height relative to other traffic?

Comparing Economy:
- How important to you is cheap insurance?
- How important is fuel economy to you?
- How is the distance of your commute like?
- How important are special financing and rebates to you?
- How important is resale value to you?

Comparing Reliability:
- Have you had any trouble with your last car that you would like to avoid in your next car?
- How long do you plan to keep the car?
