I've got a 06 Toyota Sienna that feels like it goes faster on the straights. What's attractive about this car, to me, is it's potential. When I first drove this car I thought "that's it? what was all the fuss about?" My 95 MX-5 R-package felt much more inspiring out of the box. My first test drive was a bit disappointing to be honest.
While the FR-S does everything my MX-5 did, it simply didn't do it quite as well besides not being back breakingly harsh (in stock form). What it did make me feel that the little miata didn't is that with the much larger footprint it will be capable of handing much more power and being much more stable at high speeds. A lot of room for improvement and tuning. And, with some minor tweaks it can be just as much a scalpel on the twisties as the tiny MX-5. I think this has already been proven time and time again by boatloads of tuners within months after it's release. With the right "investment" it has the potential to battle with and win against sports cars that cost many times more than it. I think that is what the designers and engineers of this car were aiming to do, and they did it well. This car is the best thing that happened to the automotive aftermarket since the fast and furious movies. lol
