This is 2013 and we have reliable, comfortable, quiet, technologically superior cars. The FR-S/BRZ happen to have all this in a lightweight sporty package like the ones I grew up with. I want one and I don't want to be messing around with it all the time. Call me whiny, I don't care.

I'm with you. I don't miss the days when I was under my hood every weekend just to keep my cars running right.
(Anyone who has ever had a car with a Holley 750 with mechanical secondaries knows what I am talking about)
Call it old age but the only wrench turning I want to do anymore is directed to making my car BETTER!
