You have to understand that the FR-S is a completely different midset than your current car.

In your current car, you put up with corners to get to the straights.

Your priorities may also change down the line with kids and family. No point dumping money and constantly modding a vehicle. Taking the family for vacation is much more rewarding.

I have my eye out on the FR-S as well, but in the meantime I'm gonna enjoy my current ride which is also RWD.


Awesome ride ! Spot right on in the Family matter. I too have eyes set on the FRS. Truth be told in taking a family out is better than enjoying a ride alone. The biggest reason why I am waiting on the new WRX STI Hatch Back. I can buy one now, but no reason to buy because 2015 is the all new WRX.

Also, spot on of Modding a car. It is a waste, I had modded 2 cars, and really, all it does for you = losing money. Modded car always break here and there, even the little thing bothers me, and chasing the number is foolish.

In reality, do you have time to ride ? if you do, on what street ? under what circumstance ? Well, if you take it to a race track every weekend, then mod it up, and constantly race it to grind, but even that will be boring after a while doing alone. If you mod your car for just Ego alone, which I did...it is a waste. If you mod your car to just go to the car show, it is a waste.

If in reality you can only ride normally, and do not want any tickets or pulled over by cops. Any cars is fine, as long as it look good.

Your gonna regret it and I know that for a fact. Just like when I traded in the Jeep SRT8 for that dam G37s. The power between them is even more then what I lost. But on the other hand like I told you long ago who needs a million HP and go 200 mph. Its not like you can used it all the time. lol
