Oh no I didn't mean it to sound angry, it was supposed to be very matter of fact. "Shut..The..Fuck..Up" better?

Well neither the Cayman/911 can be left foot braked w/o being a cirque de soleil cast member and have PDK paddles that are cheaper crap than a Logitech steering wheel so I don't think that's quite the perfect car either. Be careful which 'used' Cayman you get. GL w/ the IMS bearing.

Personally, no offense to the OP, but anyone that doesn't know whether they want a two door lighter weight coupe or a high hp luxury 4-door sedan just can't be taken seriously. Buying the FRS based on magazine reviews just says it all. Same reason I see all the FRS/BRZ versus threads as utter lameness except on the rare occasion one of them actually makes any sense. But hey, thanks for sharing your daily life occurrences with us. I'd really look forward to your next tweet if I had a Twitter account.

The car looks A LOT better in person, especially in the right color. In the picture it just looks like an Acura w/ no soul. That's not the case.

If I bought a car based on ease of left foot braking I would ride a bike to work everyday...Ide get a cayman based on being a superior version of the fr-s. Ide get a Jag F type after that and a 911 turbo after that. I have no intention of owning anything besides this basic platform of car for the rest of my life, because of how it makes me feel, not how my left foot is able to brake the car...but yeah op, why did you buy the frs in the first place if you find the IS superior. I'll probably never own a Lexus...or any Japanese luxury brand for that matter.

Do you mean heel and toe'd? How can a car be difficult to left foot brake unless you've only got one leg?

No. Try using your left foot on the throttle and tell us how that works out for you. The pedal placement is retarded for a sports car company like almighty Porsche. I'd expect more attention to detail in the $70K-$150K range on things like braking and transmission operation rather than bluetooth. For some reason most Brits, Japs and Audi don't have this problem. I guess Michael Schumacher is the only one in Germany that knows how to left foot brake.

The arrogance in this thread makes me laugh.

Tell us what you are talking about? Left foot throttle?

This is what people have try to come down on porsche for, pedal placement? They've always had great ergonomics and spot on feel, your waving the wrong flag You dont seem to understand what lfb is.


Some of the new Lexus/Infinti styling is going to be looking VERY dated in the years to come.
