Dezoris:
Thank you for this breath of reality around here. The car is fun. It is a good car with a lot of flaws. It is far from a "Great" car as delivered this first model year.

Winter storage means that it is not a "Car", it is a "Toy" that is not up to the rigors of year round use. I can vouch for this. I don't have the option of storing it for winter (Already have a bunch of shitbox MGs and Sprites in the nice warm garage) so I will have to live with an FRS in winter. Ironic that one of the tipping points for buying the FRS over the Miata was "It HAS to be a better winter vehicle right?" As it turns out, I would not recommend this car to anyone who lives where the weather might go near freezing.
To all the haters of this video, relax, be secure in your purchase, it does not matter what others think of your toys. I think Dezoris pretty much nailed the owner experience for a significant number of people; it can kind of suck at times, but at least he is still laughing. If you are not one of those who has suffered a few tribulations, then good for you.
