Bottom line, it is an entry level vehicle into sports cars, because entry level simply means the least expensive way to get into a certain thing.

Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari all have "entry level" models into their world.

In the end, who gives a flip is someone thinks you have an "entry level" car? All that matters is you're happy with it. Look I could afford a much more expensive car and looked at more expensive ones when I bought the FR-S. However, it met the criteria I had at the time so I was perfectly happy with it. Still am 170,000+ miles later.

Is it entry level, yes. Do I care, no.

Once again, Dadhawk sums everything up very nicely. [emoji1376] [emoji1659]

I like the way you explained what “entry level” can mean. It’s not necessarily a derogatory statement. I do however have issues with auto journalists saying it’s a car for young kids with no money. They couldn’t be further from the truth. Yes of course it draws younger people with less disposable income, especially on the used market. And I think that’s great, it’s a perfect car for an enthusiast to realistically afford. But plenty of us are much older than that. Which speaks to the broad appeal of the twins. Much like the Miata.
