You mean the one where they used an auto BRZ and compared it against another manual FWD (can't remember the name but it was a Euro only car) which had better tires and said the BRZ was bleh?

I don't mind honest reviews as long as they have facts to back it up with.

They can't say "It SUCKS!" without explaining "It SUCKS! The suspension is vague and has a dual personality deciding sometimes to be harsh on rough roads but vague and overdamped on smooth tarmac" as an example (I know what I just said as an example makes no sense technically). I never did understand why EVO didn't like it.

I now know personally people who have the car and they love it to bits and do agree the hype was right. Heck, one guy traded in his M5 for the FR-S which I found rather overextreme.
