I enjoy it. For my purposes, there are no drawbacks at all to this vehicle as a daily driver. I'm 6', weigh 290 lbs and drive about 30K miles per year on weekly overnight trips. If the car weren't enjoyable, it would have long since been traded or sold.
The whining about the 86 is in part a matter of perspective. I grew up driving beastly old American cars and tiny British sports cars that definitely did have times that were not enjoyable. Compared to my old Triumph, the BRZ is a luxury car that still feels connected to the road.
I also rent vehicles frequently when my travel schedule requires flying, so I get the benefit of a direct comparison with the potatoes other people are driving. Most cars on the road are not only dull, but they're designed around the manufacturing process or marketing studies instead of the driver, and it's those little design errors we don't have that make a car exhausting to drive. Right now I'm driving a Ford Flex in Oklahoma and
can't wait to be back in the BRZ for a 500 mile round trip through Florida next week.

I've had to rent Camrys (Camries?). I would kill myself if I had to drive it on a daily basis. I'd drive it off a bridge, except the Camry would make even that boring.
