I came to the FR-S out of a Miata which was a fine handling car and I didn't expect to get a new car that actually handled better. The more I drive this car the more incredible it seems. It might be priced as an entry level sports car but I honestly think that time is going to be very kind to the reputation this car enjoys.
Thanks <3
I had been planning on keeping the BMWs for as long as I could get parts for them because I just wasn't able to get excited about any of the new cars coming out. Everyone's hope that BMW was getting back to its roots with the 1-series was shattered when it turned out to be nothing more than an ever so slightly smaller and cheaper 3-series. The Genesis coupe seemed promising, and it was neat that it was coming from such an underdog. It was a huge leap forward for Hyundai, but it misses the mark as a great driver's car. Then the twins show up and wow. No buttons on the steering wheel No rain-sensing wipers, backup camera, lane departure warning, no electric this and automatic that and power the other thing, no 13 different drive modes that may or may not do anything anyway Light weight Handles like a dream And is oh so affordable Time to make room in the toybox And big thanks to Japan for bringing us this car Plus as an added bonus, the people on this forum are really great :happy0180:
