Yup or get something 'in between' that scratches your itches. It's a bit of a moving target for me - my FR-S is certainly a compromise car, but you could argue just about every car is a sort of compromise. I'd look to an M3 as a possible step up that can 'do it all', but then again I'd consider a 997.1 + 100 series land cruiser + trailer with shifter kart attached
Wife may protest about too many cars in the driveway though.
But the moving target part is - I still care about running costs, and I can't beat the combination of affordability, fun, and flexibility the FR-S brings. I can cart my kids around, fit golf clubs in the trunk, fit a BUNCH of stuff with the back seat down, get close to 40mpg on the highway, all while looking good and cackling like a maniac.
I guess I need to make more money, so the affordability factor stops being an issue.
