My FRS has been my one and only car for 3 years and I think it's great. I understand it isn't the most practical vehicle but it has just enough cargo room and fuel efficiency for me to live with. I sometimes pick up a friend to go to an archery range and with the back seats folded down we can fit our 62" traditional bows with our quivers as well. There was also room for a guitar and amp as well. I barely ever have to carpool anyone and I have put people in the backseats before just once or twice since I've owned the vehicle and they were no taller than 5'6". The backseat is uncomfortable and I don't recommend this if you regularly carpool. Most of my friends have cars at this point so it all works out anyway.
Other than that I'm enjoying the drivability of this car every day with the occasional autocross. I also keep a set of winter tires for when winter rolls around. This car is actually very capable in the snow provided that you have winter tires. I was able to get to where I need to be and even passing some AWD SUVs on the way. The only thing I don't like is when I'm stuck in stop and go traffic and that's a little annoying with a stick shift. So to reiterate the FRS/BRZ can definitely work well as an only vehicle if you can make do with the limited passenger space and I highly recommend winter tires.
