I'm approaching a year of ownership, still love the car, but it's underpowered imo...
Yeah, the Lotus is more powerful, but not by a ton. It's certainly no monster though, which seemed to be EVO's complaint about the BRZ. My point is just that you don't hop into a Lotus and go around kicking the tail out with the throttle-- it's another "momentum" car. Yet I somehow doubt the same reviewer would jump in an Elise and call it boring...
