Yeah I’ve never owned a car that can corner like this one. The WRX is lots of fun because of AWD, but it can’t hide all of its Impreza roots. The STi fixes some of that. [emoji41]
Dude, 10 years in a Corolla to a twin. It must feel like a go kart/Ferrari! [emoji16]

Thanks, it's a beautiful car! And yeah, it feels like a freaking go kart. Unfortunately I am spoiled to acceleration by sportbikes, so it doesn't feel very powerful, but the engine loves to rev and it's really fun to wind up
Outside the track it's honestly more fun to put this through the gears than to be babying a literbike around in 2nd gear all day.

I’ve always really liked their stuff. And yes, this FR-S will be treated well, maintained, and driven. [emoji2939][emoji41]

Mine has too on particularly hot days, the owner's manual says it's normal. I've also had it happen on my corolla plenty, and mechanics have told me it's totally fine.
