For the most part, my BRZ has sufficient power for my needs. A bit more would be nice but then the balance will be tipped and power will outcome the handling. I find I have to scrub speed off quickly because the higher handling limits boosts my confidence IMO way higher than it really should be. More power will just make it worse IMO.
However, that said, I agree with you that there are more than a few occasions I do wish there is more torque on tap. And nothing is worse than having the looks but not the backing. Especially when you have those pesky other cars and trucks breathing down your neck.
This is the conversation in the elevator today with the executive secretary. I love your new car, the red one, what is it? Oh it's a Subaru. It looks nice, is it fast? (I tried unsuccessfully to change the subject as I don't want my bosses to know I have a new car) It's pretty good but it's nothing fancy, it has a small 2 liter engine. Really, but it's at least a v-6 right? No, it's a 4-cyl, ok, I'll see you later ....
I hate to tell her but her Lexus GS will probably kick my ass to the way to the onramp.
I'll wait for the early adopter reviews and prices to drop before I go FI on mine.
Kombatlion, I would definitely go FI if you have the means and the environment to play with. PR looks like a lovely place and I plan on visiting it in the future.
