Switch my auto for a manual or an s2000 or similar car
I have had my frs auto (2015 - 25,000km) for a year now and am thinking of making a switch to manual. I could either
1) Switch to an frs manual (2014 - 21,000km) 2) Get u used s2000 (2004 - 110,000km) 3) Any other ideas? 370z? Miata mx-5 |

2007 AP2 S2K was the car I had for a year after I traded the FR-S in for it. I want another one. I'm sure you'll like it, but it is a lifestyle choice if it is your daily driver. You can still find stock ones with low miles that people have mothballed, that need cash now. lol

2. Get an AP2 S2K if you don't need a back seat, and don't mind a 12 year old car for about $13k - $18k depending on mileage, condition, market. 3. Get a 2017 Fiat 124 Abarth Spider + a tune new for about $30k. Quote:

I'd say try an S2000, ND Miata, or previous-gen 5.0 Mustang GT. As long as you're trading your car in, you may as well try something different and get another kind of experience. You've already tasted FR-S/BRZ, now try sampling a different flavor of sporty car.
I love my FR-S, but I'm glad I've owned different cars in the past (STI hatch, Boxster S, 350z, GTI, etc.) to know what they're like.

Like some have said already if bored with the FRS maybe try something else out. Our choices here are much more limited than they have down south though and the prices reflect it. You can probably find buckets full of 370Zs but you want to try them out very well before you go for it.
