neutron256 make a great point. He is totally being subjective and negligent. This guy must enjoy his ignorance because if he read just a few articles (which would take 5-10 minutes) he would understand the philosophy and motivation behind the point of this car. "low quality interior, low on power". To use that as his reasoning behind his opinion is a pure lack of understanding and is an embrace to being conceited/close minded.

He's probably one of those idiots who drives around revving his car's engine a lot because that's all it can do is make noise after the three thousand pounds of chrome wheels have been installed.

Here's the video btw since the first one wasn't working for some reason:

You can hear he is out of breath he is most likely obese like his 300C and probably doesnt fit well in the FR-S. BTW low on power, i can imagine the poor 2 litter engine having trouble accelerating with him on board.

470hp to be exact. Just another fat assed car that needs a lot of power to save face.

The title of the video is a misnomer, the girl is not remotely sexy.

He actually likes the FRS and is simply pointing out some little things that he dont like about this car. At least his wife enjoyed the ride and she dont seem to be complaining.

Watched the review, had absolutely no negative comments while driving the car. Everything is after the fact complaining about features or power, which nobody can really argue against.

I think that says everything, it's all opinion. Guys who agree with his other videos will likely agree on this one, he didn't say anything outrageous, move on.

Ahh, I see what he's saying - he's got a supercharger on his SRT8. Looks pretty clean, actually. It's a boat, but that's a pretty fast boat.

most of the posts here are at least as bad as what the review. all he really said is that this car isnt about straight line speed but for driving. you dont know how much horsepower his car has. hes not hating or ignorant really, just voicing his opinion.

i think everybody here is forgetting that the only way the frs makes sense is in a subjective matter. objectively its mediocore. the problem is that with subjective qualities, people can have different opinions.
