Yep. I agree. I own both the BRZ and the S2000.
Basically, these characteristics are common to small displacement, high specific output engines. They tend to behave like racing engines, only delivering fun performance well up into the rev range. You almost have to drive them like your mad at 'em when you want to go faster.
The BRZ is less of a Jekyl and Hyde car than is my S2000. They're both fun, but not everyone's "cup o' tea."
My wife went out for a BRZ test drive with the salesman without me, returned and said that it was the most FUN car she'd ever driven, and that it's SLOW.
I'll leave you folks wondering about buying this car ... to ponder that.
Your right foot will quickly find the firewall, and you'll think, "Wait. What?, That's IT?!"
But it's FUN!
