Yes he loves the car. Children always are honest. He told me that looks cool but its orange Power wise its not anything to run home and brag about. I would say its at par with other average niche economical sport cars. That being said it does "feel fast" when transitioning power delivery. All gear changes in my 6 speed manual are smooth and effortless. Short throw is highly enjoyable on this vehicle. I would say it feels like a 6.5 0-60 car. It pulls enough to get you on the highway properly and get up to posted speed limits. Off the line it feels like its starving for more torque/air delivery at low rpms.

Very nice. I remember renting a Mustang V6 and a Camaro SS in the DFW area, and I saw a ton of Mustangs around. It was 2009 when I had the 5th-gen Camaro, so I got a lot of "Nice car" comments. I have to wonder, though: how is that crowd taking to the FR-S / BRZ?

On the brakes, I'm wondering if a change in brake pads would help things; I'm hoping to see Hawk offer a set of pads for the FR-S / BRZ. I'm running Hawk pads in the 1st-gen tC, and they're excellent (they're also on DBA rotors; I'll have to see when DBA makes rotors for the FR-S / BRZ).

Most of the radio, nav, and telephone functions are voice activated. I drive these cars every day; I don't find them in the least bit distracting...

Use of the radio is very distracting. Whatever happened to treble and bass knobs? Now we have to scroll through various menus just to change these items.

Press "AM/FM" or "RADIO", depending on the model you're in. Press "SETTINGS" or "SOUND", adjust accordingly. How hard is that? Now your friends can't crank the bass and ruin your speakers while you're not looking I've got the Bang and Olufsen sound system in mine, and I don't even mess with it because I'm sure the sound engineers know how to make a better sound than I do, playing with the levels. And again, everything comes up on the screen so it's in your peripheral vision. The bass and treble knobs wouldn't be in your peripheral vision so you'd have to look down to adjust them.

I tried to make a video showing just how easy it is to do this, but it was 100mb and was taking forever to upload. So you'll just hafta take my word for it!

it was good chatting with you at the event Danny. I'm glad that you're going to drive this car like it should be driven, and i'm sure you'll enjoy it tons more than your Audi.
