Yep, agreed! So many people always compare this car to faster cars...for example, typical youtube comments. "bro, why would you buy this slow piece of shit when you can buy a STI or Golf R" Yet most of those commenters probably don't drive and don't have a clue about money and think buying a $50,000(CDN) STI is attainable for everyone. When they go out into the real world and have a mortgage, family, bills etc......all of a sudden that new honda civic base model looks appealing.

I just smoked a tailgater Dodge Challenger by making a 40mph sharp right turn lol,
I say goodbye after that right corner, and he didn't come chase me after. I guess he lost his pride knowing his car cant turn a corner. =/ P.S I am happy with my car with 220 HP =] |

i was going to take a 90 degree turn and slowed down...i felt like it was a proper speed enough to make the turn ...turned the wheel in and the car understeered..luckily there was no one in the opposite lane...but the car coming towards me probably had this reaction after he saw a huge car go wide on the turn into his lane

We're too fixated on HP this and not having enough power. Fortunate we have this car in an age where safety standards have made cars these days more robotic and computerized. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Fast Lane Car has put out some of the dumbest reviews I have ever seen for the twins. Also Roman can't drive a manual to save his life. It's embarassing to watch him drive.

The video is pretty spot on IMO. The car is very slow and it's a pity since it does handle really well. Out of the factory, it should have had another 50hp to make it more balanced.

At sea level a manual FR-S at does 0-60 in 6.2 seconds. A manual TC does 0-60 in 6.9 seconds. I don't know what the automatic TC does but I highly doubt it's faster than the manual TC. I'm not saying the FR-S is really fast but they should at least drive the cars at sea level before they tell the world the car is slow. Especially when the FR-S is more affected by the air pressure than the lower revving TC. Most people are not living in the mountains.
