UGGHH.. Double clutching a V-dub... You just brought back LOTS of nightmarish memories for me.

I'm right there with you on some of the complaints here. The first cars I bought were old VW Beetles, and then my first 'newer' car was a 94 Jeep Wrangler. Talk about lack of amenities.

THAT said, in comparison to most newer vehicles built around creature comforts, and more things that used to be 'add-ons' becoming 'standard equipment' to entice the buyer, the FR-S is a bit of a shock in how bare bones it is. I think its just the juxtaposition of expectation built on what people have grown accustomed to over the last 10 years or so against the reality of the car.

And personal opinion here: I really don't think ANYONE should be learning straight drive in this car.
