My BRZ is my baby/toy. My DD is an '06 v6 std gearbox F150. I love the truck, for me it's the perfect DD. Someone else suggested driving the Vibe for a while and using it as a counterpoint to the FRS. I concur wholeheartedly.

I often wonder what difference it would make for me if my BRZ had 50 (or 100) more horsepower. If I answer honestly, while the additional ponies would be cool to have, I don't think they would affect my enjoyment of the car all that much. Perhaps I just don't drive the car all that hard or maybe it's the contrast between the (genuinely slow) F150 and the (not really slow) BRZ, but the BRZ is my Goldilocks sportscar. Maybe the Vibe will offer the same contrast for you. Give your FRS a bit of time, it may be juuust right for you, too.
