I have a 2006 mini cooper s. I don't know how that compares to a typical car etc. I do know that the wheels and tires make a huge difference. The stock mini S has terrible noisey hard tires. I would probably go for the lowest noise rated tire I could find that had decent grip ratings.
what tires do you use? |

I could probably get used to using my car for daily commuting, my music usually drowns out most of the noise anyway. It just isnt the optimal car for commuting in my opinion. My car only has 10k miles after two years though, its really just a weekend fun car. Mass transit works way better for commuting to work in NYC. |

This is my only car and after having it for almost a half a year I love it! I was the best upgrade for a car I ever had.

I currently drive 2017 camry. Then I realized that what I want is fun to drive car. (I used to drive rsx type s)
I think brz is practical enough compare to miata or s2000. And it is also affordable. I will sell this Camry, and brz will be my only ride. Sent from my LG-H950 using Tapatalk |

i only plugged my sound tube after i swapped the header because that replced the induction noise with better sounding exhaust noise.

It basically comes down to the only real sports car with fantastic seats and good gas mileage that looks fantastic, that also has storage. Best looking car coming out i feel is the RF Miata. Just has not much practicality for a single car setup. |

My Frs is my only ride... I came from a Tc... I miss the carrying capacity. But love the handling and feel of the FRS... so trade off is great... besides.. my wife has an edge... so I can haul what I need.

It was my only car for a little over 6 months. Never needed a larger one.

True, but a base of base models 2-door, 2x4 manual Tacoma is about as simple and small as you can get for today's trucks. It ain't no old Ford Ranger, but it's the closest you can get to that today.
