But I could not get over the spindle grill and the fussy design in general and the overall softness and numb feeling. Even the Jaguar F type was on my radar but I couldn't justify the money (maintenance, issues etc..) Camaro's, Mustangs, Challengers or anything else domestic was never an option.
I am old (not as old as @ Tcoat lol) I do not finance. The bargain BRZ hits the spot. It captures the essence af driving and the reason I fell in love (in the eighties) with cars.
I do not 'need' more power but I like playing with my toys. So I modify and change it to my liking. When I am driving I mind my own business and don't drive like an idiot comparing my car with whatever is out there.
And yes, I know that I am not the average target group for which this car is designed but this article hits a nerve. |
I did not buy it for "performance" driving either. For how I get to drive 98% of the time it may as well be a Camry. I bought it as an inexpensive throw away that I can clock mega miles on and then just get a new one in 5 years. It is damn near the perfect vehicle for my needs and if I had sat down and wrote a wish list of what I wanted in a car it would have checked every single box. Not one of those other vehicles in the review would have checked near as many of my boxes. Not even close.
