They are mainly asking for reasons NOT to buy it :P

People ask the "Is it right for me" question because they want to justify their reason for buying the car due to the "hype" and then some start to encourage the potential buyer with it. I hate how many people over-glamorize the car being the end-all "inexpensive" driver's car, fun, blah blah blah.. It's a really nice car, yeah, but there are other cars out there. Not everyone on this board is a SCCA Autocrosser, drifter, or weekend canyon carver (live near mountains/canyons). Most of the time, people are just driving to work or school and home with occasional weekend trips. It does get you to point A to point B and it is fun, but it's also impractical. It's too much sports for some people and there are always threads either comparing this car to another, complaining about problems, etc all to justify why this awesome car can't compare to a honda accord or toyota camry in almost every aspect besides sports saying that it's apples to oranges (which it is).

This car is slow, impractical, a little expensive for a car, has little options, and the list goes on. It looks nice though. Hell, that's one of the main reasons why I bought it. Also handles very well. Look at how people justify buying the BRZ over the FRS. Same thing, looks. HIDs, Leather, Nav, bumper (i prefer FRS bumper), name. It's all HYPE. The "gotta have it" factor.
