but if you have that many songs why listen to the radio? unless its about talk radio or something then I can understand but if its just for music wouldnt it be more enjoyable through your own custom sound playlist?

I listen to the Sat radio to hear new things.
Sometimes it's also nice to not have a playlist set up or listen to something specific.

Actually yea. I listen to business radio. But occasionally I listen to the rap channels to hear the latest music so that I can add to my collection.

When and if you're lucky enough to own this car, you will realize it already has enough power..

I hate how when I buy the car, I have to void my warranty to fix something it should've started with.

I hate that someone will inevitably respond to this and say "If you can't go fast with 90hp, 900hp won't help you".

You're missing out on one of the best drivers car ever produced because your concerned about someone else's opinion.. Or some journalistic tripe that some bozo writes for a paycheck.
I've owned cars costing three times the price with more than twice the power that aren't as "good" as this car..
You're ignorance and short sightedness is keeping you from something special that doesn't happen very often in the automotive world...
But I guess some people would rather have a big horsepower number then actual driver involvement and enjoyment..

We're in the middle of what I like to call the "horsepower wars". And toyobaru decided to ignore that and focus on make a drivers car. I've had my BRZ for six months. I've never had a passenger say "that thing needs more power."
