I drove one.
Had the sales guy with me sooo.
I had no issue with the power. Yes can use more (25-50 RWHp), but it would be faster than any car I've owned.
Brakes are good too.
Suspension is nice too. Didn't seem to harsh and felt like it had lots of potential. I did hustle it through a back road but did not push it.
Driving position was nice. Seemed like I could get it better but I was comfortable.
All controls were right where you want them.

I still would like to drive one again and for a bit more time.
I like and it is what I want, cheap and fun.

I want an FR-S RS1.0.
The color and the mods work for me.

I sat in the one I bought 6 times (it was in the dealer show room for 2 years) and test drove two others, one standard (loved it) and Auto (bought it) and I could not find the standard in Hot Lava. If you drive it again, don't be afraid to be aggressive, with all the safety features the car will help keep you on the road (as I have found out after I bought it) example: drive about 20 mph and saw the steering wheel hard (turn it left and right), you will fell the break assist on the front wheel that is starting to slip, it will grab (its really strange at first but it auto corrects so you done over steer and slide). Put the car in SPORT and take it on the highway an exit or two (watch for Police) I have owner the car for 6 weeks and I am still finding new limits, it is fun.

Good Luck
