Just going to chime in here on the comments about mustangs. Having driven a 95 Cobra, 2001 GT automatic, 2005 heavily modified automatic, and the newer 2016 in standard transmission, I will say that your fear is not completely unfounded. It really has to do with 3 words: Independent. Rear. Suspension. Everything prior to the 2015 had a solid rear axle. Great for straight line acceleration. Not so great for corners. All wonderful cars to drive, but for their own reasons. One gripe I do have about the 2016 is that it is a chore to drive smoothly. Clutch travel is stupidly long and the car feels (and IS) heavy. Great cars but just not my thing.
As far as the BRZ goes, I have had mine for over 3 years now. Daily driver. It is very rewarding to drive once you learn its limits. Great blank canvas for adding parts to, if you are in to that. Great to leave stock. Just a but of advice though. Back seats are almost useless. Touch screen stereo is garbage. Get winter tires if you live in an area with snow.
If you needed a little more incentive to pull the trigger, here you go: I have driven many high powered cars. The previously mentioned Mustangs, as well as a built 99 C5 Vette, C6 AND even the new Stingray. But I still smile whenever I get in/out of my car. And I ALWAYS look back at her.
