I haven't test driven anything because I know I'm not in a position to buy any of them, with getting my masters degree and the inability to find a full-time job with my specialized degree in pharmaceutical marketing and management. I was looking into the 1-series, 3-series, g35 and g37, and the IS. I work per diem, getting close to 40hrs most weeks so I can consider a car payment and the ensuing insurance because I have a good clip saved up but I probably won't buy until I have the full-time job secured so I have time.
I haven't really driven in many different cars to be quite honest, and certainly not many sports cars, one time a 350z but that was a while ago, and not much else. Like I said, I think the RWD will make a big difference in feel for me because all of the rwd cars I've ever driven in have really felt different and alot more fun so that is something I'm looking forward to. I hope by the time this car does arrive, I'll have secured a full-time job to be able to afford it along with my student loans which will kick in when I finish my masters ($800 a month

@Serial - I got those numbers from a couple websites with 0-60 and 1/4 calculators, just a rough estimate at best as we all know gearing can change things alot.
Edit - One of the cars I've always loved regardless of its unreliability is the 95-98 Eagle Talon TSI. It was 2800lbs and 210hp with the turbo model and I always thought it was quick enough for me so the FR-S should be quicker.
