Really? I love them. Which one did you drive? The 2.5 or 2.3?

I find them to be quite fun, the engine is a character, it loves to rev out to redline. Handling is good, ride is perfect and blends in well.

Or do you just talk out of your ass like most people on this forum?

I think that's actually worse $/horse than the FR-S kit, but at least you get leather seats. Well, Mercedes leather. It's real leather, but it looks and feels like vinyl.

The problem isn't choosing only one. The problem is not being able to choose squirrel more than once.
