I think a lot of people don't have perspective. They call themselves car guys but only ever read spec sheets. Yes this car is cheap and slow. But when it comes to your money what can you do. A lot of people shit talking are driving corollas so doesn't bother me.
Comes to mind for me one guy who "doesn't get" my car. Yet he drives an accord and had some hooptie before that. And likes to talk about drag racing his civic back in the day. But it's OK, same way I don't understand people like that they don't understand us.

My wife despises my car. She has been in it twice and will never, ever ride with me again. She thinks we are going to get run over by a truck and be killed. She isn't joking and truly fears it. Doesn't help that when sitting in it all you see is other vehicles door handles and trailer hitches I guess.

I haven't gotten anything but compliments from strangers, but my friends and I like to joke around about how slow the car is. It's actually not bad but compared to the 400+ whp cars they drive, yeah it's slow lol.

I find the "fastness" of the car to be adequate enough for what it is.
The car handles incredibly well, and puts on a smile on my face every time. That being said, I was out with friends last night and as we met in a parking lot they were admiring my BRZ. Later that night we saw this jag F-type parked, and a couple people commented how it looks so much like the BRZ...and in some ways, prefer the looks of the BRZ. I said yeah, but that Ftype is $126k, and about 300 more hp! They both said they were amazed at how much the 2 cars resembled each other, and that the BRZ pulls off its sexiness so well for so little. |

I've honestly gotten nothing but compliments on the car, even though my fiancee doesn't like it much. That said, I seem to have been the recipient of more aggressive drivers near me than in any other car I've owned.
