Many of us have had many reasonable discussions on what we dislike about the car and what we can or will do to change it. There are also many of us that are satisfied with the way it is and do not wish to change anything.
It is the constant barrage of "this car sucks" and the expression of opinion as "fact" or "truth" that starts to get annoying. As soon as we defend our opinion we become fanboys or uneducated yokels that just don't know what a real car is.
Too "slow" for you? Change it or move on to something else.
Like another car better? Then buy one and get rid of what you have without telling us we are all wrong.
Some of the guys that move on just can't fade away either and have to keep coming back and telling us how we are all fools for liking the car.
People that don't like it and go to something else are doing exactly what they should and I congratulate them for making that move but then should just go away and stop slamming us.

It's just all I've notice Doc doing is drive by shitposting.
You're not much better either, but to each their own I guess.

I'm still wondering why the usual handful of people on these forums bought the car if they complain about it so much. Now if you all didn't buy one, that would make a bit more sense.

Of course he does! Here it is:

I agree. If you don't like it, buy another car and move on.

If you don't like it and can't buy another car to move on, at least move on from these forums :P Because we obviously don't like negative posts. Or maybe thats exactly why, trolling the internets is not an uncommon hobby.

People that buy or lease cars for like 6 months are also the kind of people that don't think before they make decisions. Rather than look stupid for it, they try to make everyone else look stupid instead. That's why we get these "goodbye; I'm a martyr" threads.

Outside of significant circumstance changes, or quality issues, I just don't get how someone could get into a new car, and then shortly thereafter be like "nah" and get something completely different.

Is my very strong opinion that many of these guys that claim to have one and hate it have never in fact even sat in one much less owed it.

I personally test drove the FRS/BRZ (standard & automatic) at least half a dozen time throughout 1.5 years before making my decision. I abused the system that my local CarMax has, which is they let you test drive the car w.o. a salesman with you. When I finally purchased the BRZ on the eve of Christmas, I just purchased the car without even a test drive. Just walked in, asking for a WRB BRZ Limited, signed papers, and done. At that point I was 100% confident that the twins were the right choice.

Evo may have one. And coming from an Evo to a twin, i could see where he would be disappointed.

Now that hontard guy, I believe he's just a straight troll. Or 12 years old, because no car enthusiast could be that ignorant or blindly devoted to one car.

Yes Evo no doubt has one and really is not at the same troll level as some! I agree wholeheartedly bout the other though.

He sure does seem disgruntled and bitter about his purchase though.

I couldn't have predicted my car would be as much of a pile of junk when I bought it, and to the people who say fix it under warranty thatd be great if anyone knew what was wrong with it.

I 100% still have one and im not comparing it to my evo at all, I mostly compare it to my s2000 in terms of power and handling. my biggest gripe with the car is just the quality, I would fix the power issues if everything was sorted quality wise but it hasn't been yet.


as far as buying another car that's just not financially a good idea, I cant really trade my car in and finding someone to buy it would be a hassle. once the dash and windows are fixed I am going to fix the other issues by throwing those parts in the trash.
