And I never really get to actual redline ~7400 to merge, I usually stay below 6500 when getting up, I just don't think that's a valid argument. Especially for people seeing this thread thinking they might want this car but decide against it.

The FRS/BRZ is not fast. But it is definitely more than capable for day to day commuting in almost any condition.
I, specifically never said it wasn't. The argument that person made was that it's probably easier to merge and drive daily with a more user friendly mid range.

I mean I redline my car all the time when I merge if I can, but not everyone does that. To get the motors potential you have to wring it out. That's what driving a low displacement, naturally aspirated car like this means.
