Repeat this after every month and you’ll soon realize that the car isn’t so bad without FI and you just saved $6-$8k.
If you really want my honest opinion, both options are terrible financial decisions, especially if you go the newer car route. Do you need the FI or do you just want it? Can you see yourself with the FR-S five years from now still? Sure, if you have the money I guess it doesn’t matter.
Drive your Vibe for 3 or 4 weeks straight, then jump back into your FR-S and you’ll probably reconsider your desires. Or maybe not.
I highly suggest trying that though.

Superb comment! I agree 100%
I actually had the same feelings when I bought this car. I kept thinking about future modifications that would make it faster until I realized that I had already owned this car for 3 years and been enjoying every moment of it with just some simply bolt on parts (exhaust, front pipe) I had been putting on throughout the years.
I came to the conclusion that I just don't need that power to enjoy this car. Exact reasons why I sold my WRX & 335i and replaced them with this car.
I have a few other cars in my garage (Honda Accord, Honda Fit, Volvo S90) and driving the FRS/86 after them is a beautiful thing
None of those other cars give the same emotionally connection like these twins.
Also, since your in Ontario. You must also factor in that no insurance company would legally insure you with such extreme modifications like FI. Of course you can just not tell them....but in the case of an accident you could end up in a horrible legal situation.

Of course, these are just my opinions on this subject.
You make the final decision.
