If you are looking for RWD sport car, convertible, and power together. Why not a used Lexus SC ? that thing is V8 powered, and all the luxurious you need.

I totally agree with Chen, a more driver car would be the S2K. S2K is the best of both worlds (Miata + FRS) together

Why would you want to buy the worst car in the history of the world?

He might be referring to the older SC400 which is a very good car, today its only flaw is its very old now. I do agree though that the SC430 looked absolutely terrible, its extremely expensive and from most reviewers say it rides bad and is apparently awful to drive. Worst Lexus ever made, without a doubt.

And the fact that you could only get it with an auto trans.

SC400 was a coupe not a convertible.

That awkward moment when you get kinda excited and think you see another FRS from far away and then it gets closer................

Edit- bigger rear sways should fix that oversteer issue the Genesis doesn't have.

If all you want is power in a GT then I'd say a 370Z is a better choice. You're getting 330HP for $30k from a naturally aspirated motor.

I was right there with you as well. Either the Genesis (3.8 R-Spec) or the BRZ. Test drove the Genesis first, thought it was awesome, really fast!. Then I went to test the BRZ for giggles and just bought one, no regrets haha. Genesis tranny is horrible >.>. Sadly for that car the Automatic is better than the manual, but keeping with the Genesis line, if I want a comfy car, would definitely opt for the Genesis Sedan

lol, that styling line in the rear window always kills me

Doesn't the BRZ Limited close both those gaps considerably? The BRZ looks more mature than the FRS, IMO.

I liked my brother in law's GenCoupe 3.8 MT, but I still can't get around the lines of the car - to me it just doesn't look like all the lines fit with one another. I certainly did like the power of the 3.8, but my BRZ Limited with the Phantom ESC isn't that far away from the power to weight ratio of the Genesis, looks better, handles better and I like it better. But to each his own.

If I could afford both... I'd probably buy a Cayman.

The entire front end (hood bumper lights) and rear passenger windows are ugly to me. I like the back of the vehicle and ive never seen the interior before.
It's a Hyundai tho i just can't see myself buying one when I have always been a enthusiasts of Japanese cars

How its the same car with minor front bumper difference..lol..that doesnt make sense
...But then again thats something a BRZ owner would say, my car is more mature then your FRS lmao
