Not in a million years could GM do this. It would be like a chicken giving live birth.

You think this trans is notchy? HAHAA!! again take a wrx out in any temp and get back to us on that. Or a BW T5 trans (in fairness to compare rwd to rwd box). I've never come across one that wasn't notchy or didn't grind from 1st to 2nd when cold.
For living in a place that doesn't have a harsh winter we have some SHITTY roads in VB.. and I dont hear one creak, rattle or clunk out of this car over the worst of road surfaces. My wrx.. sounded like a bag of bolts and soda cans over every little pebble in the road.
This car for being as minimal as it is (as it was designed to be, it is just a $24K car) .. is put together pretty well.
Granted, I just got mine in December so a lot of the production mishaps have been cleared up. I only have 2900 mi on it so far so I really haven't gotten much wear into it yet.. but at the same mileage/age my more expensive WRX sounded like it was falling apart.
No car is perfect but to expect $50K car traits in a $24K car is just stupid.
If that's your opinion stick to the civic. Seriously. Dont bother. If you think $25k is huge money in the car market you've got a lot to learn. I'll refrain from personal insults but the bullshit here is gettin thick.
You're getting $25k worth of car with a FRS. If you're questioning that you dont fully understand what this car is to the car world and what it represents. It has the same sort of soul that old lotus's and porsches have, that MGB's and triumph's had.. its raw, its light and its fun.
If that cannot be grasped and all that's wanted is all that other foo foo plush bullshit then go by a fucking accord. Soulless drivers deserve soulless cars.

i know what it represents! i've driven the car ,and it's junk! in my view! granted,it does what it does well! i am NOT disputing this,it's why i am considering purchasing it,but i just don't believe it's built very well,and i have expressed this already.if you don't agree,that's "kewl" i respect your opinion.
as far as me having a lot to learn? i have driven just about everything available to drive, over 45 years and i KNOW for a fact you can buy cars that cost LESS than this "crap" that ARE better built! i know what i am talking about. yes! my civic is one of them! it went out at $17,800.00. car's an anvil!..bulletproof! they been buildin' 'em for over 40 years lets see how long this f**kin' brz/frs lasts.
