Not that it was really "mine" and not that I have a BRZ yet, but I was leasing a 2012 Audi S4, which is (under)rated at 333bhp and dynos at 300whp. Didn't make the transition right away, now I'm in a slow-as-t**s E30 BMW. Supercharged V6 power is really nice, especially on the highway, but having a car that can throw it's weight around effortlessly is much better. I had to put in serious effort keeping up with a friend's 150hp 240SX in the twisties; 3800lbs is a lotta weight!

Reeeeally? I would think the FD would be better by far! Maybe I've just romanticized it so much over the years, but I would think a twin-turbo rotary engine with timeless styling and a driver-focused cockpit would be tough to beat!
