Since then I've had a Focus RS which was a good car minus Ford messing up and a Camaro SS 1LE.
I have not regretted selling the BRZ.
But I bought another one last month or whatever so :shrug:

Ah I used to have a 91 MR2 turbo, another car with a 'scrappiness' to it. Really enjoyed that car for years until I went to an E36 M3. Better overall car, but while it brought that refined hunkered-down glued to the road feel, I lost some of that playfulness inherent to the light nosed MR2. The 86 feels the closest to the MR2 (despite big differences in power delivery) of any car I've driven to date.
So with the new BRZ & the Camaro 1LE (another car I considered once), which one do you grab the keys for more often? The 1LE is an amazing piece of engineering, and I really like the way they look/sound, but I can't get over how claustrophobic I felt sitting in the cockpit. Both visibility and cockpit elbow room, I was surprised how tight it was compared to my tiny FR-S - I figure it's just more of what Chevy was going for when they designed the car, and probably something you'd get used to fairly quickly.
