Beyond that though, I was mostly underwhelmed by the Stang. The size and weight of it was definitely noticeable and the steering was nowhere near as responsive as the BRZ. The Mustang is undoubtedly much faster than the BRZ, but it did not FEEL nearly as fast as I expected 435 horsepower to feel even with the shorter final drive of the performance package. I primarily drive my BRZ on backroads on the weekend and I think it is the more engaging drive for that purpose.
What do you mean by "good amount of time test driving"? you mean like with dealers and whatnot? or say a friend's car?
