Before you bought this car, did you hesitate and realize you're buying the new Civic? - Page 17 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I don't give a crap what other people think. If I enjoy it, and my girlfriend enjoys it that's all I care about.

Just like at the drag strip. I don't care what you run down the strip. If someone has fun in a stock PT Cruiser, then good for them.

The intertubes would be a very quiet place if we could all just get along!

Hell, I met a kid with a brand new Silver Ignition 10 Series while driving highway 9 yesterday and the first thing he says after I tell him how much I love driving mine is, "doesn't have enough power, though". Why the F*ck did you buy it then? I mean, do you have anything else to say about your masterpiece of a car besides the few endlessly-recycled criticisms from internet reviews and forum boards?

Hey that was me lol. Don't get me wrong, I love my FRS to death and really do appreciate the car for what it was designed for, but test drive a 2015 WRX, and you'll understand why I feel the FRS/BRZ could use a little more power. I love the handling of the FRS and all but the 2015 WRX is pretty much on par in terms of handling (no body roll, etc). Subaru took what they learned from the brz and improved handling in the 2015's by a lot.

I got the FRS because I wanted a car that's fun to drive. To me, that's more important than anything else. Life's too short to drive boring cars! :P I'm happy with what I got for now and the FRS is a great car don't get me wrong, but after driving a 2015 wrx -maybe- I'll be happier with the 2015 WRX and it's something I'm considering trading in for when I have the financial ability.

Back to the topic at hand, I don't consider or see the FRS/BRZ close to ever becoming the next Civic at all...

Oh, and by the way in case you were referring to me, I bought my own car with my own hard-earned money without any financial assistance from anyone else.

blackhawkdown · 05-28-2014, 05:28 AM

interesting, might get a 2015 STi. LOL

Davey · 05-28-2014, 08:25 AM

Drive a 2015 WRX for more than a test drive and you'll think it could use more power, too. Then you trade it in on an STI and in a couple of days you'll think it could use more power... Etc.

Knew I wanted one once I drove my brothers :P

I wish it will be that cheap. Kevin Hunter has hinted at $50k-$60k. Also Tada San has said it will be RWD. The concept is also RWD

Damn. Well at least I can still hold out hopes for the 6-cylinder V8 normally aspirated turbocharged engine with a sequential traditional manual dual-clutch transmission.

Well the next IS-F is said to be going V6 TT. Than we have the V8 from the RC-F so either one or both seems reasonable.

On a side note we do have a new FT1Club.com

A turbo charged car is not normally aspirated, that's what normally aspirated means.

A traditional manual gearbox is single clutch H gate. A traditional sequential gearbox is a single clutch only really needed on downshifts.

A double clutch sequential is not a traditional gearbox and isn't "manual" it's automatic to control the twin clutch shifts.

He was obviously trolling. The funny part, is that vh-supra corrected him on price, but not the features.
