Thoughts on 2 years of ownership

[DarkSunrise]

I'm nearing the 2 year point as well. I have car ADHD and bought two other RWD sports cars to possibly replace the FR-S, but somehow the FR-S has kept its place in my garage. I've come to realize it's probably got the best mix of features for me (light weight, good feedback and handling balance at the track, low torque to give me an excuse to downshift and hit redline on my daily commute, cheap consumables and good gas mileage, great looks). It's an old love cliche, but is it possible I like this car more now than when I first bought it?

That's a new cliche, when was the last time someone said "I love to thrash my baby and when I see the price to repair the parts I've worn, I want to thrash her twice as hard!"

May 25 will be my 2 year anniversary, currently at 21,8xx miles. I purchased some new shoes for her to celebrate. Hopefully she will appreciate my choice... an upgrade from stock but downgrade from current selection in regards to grip, also in a slightly smaller size (205/45-17). Should be just right for daily dancing in the streets on the 17x7.5 wheel set the stock set currently are on...

First new car I've ever bought... and after 2 years shes better than ever - definitely the car I've been waiting for (affordable sports car that is a coupe, prioritizes handling first, maintains a reasonable weight, and looks like an exotic) and I really don't see me ever dumping her for anything else, ever. I'm quite long term in my relationships - till death do us part, and the like... The little quirks she have doesn't bother me, I have quirks too.

However, unfortunately, a distracted driver totaled my FRS a few days ago when she ran a red light. I have been thinking about what to replace my beloved toy with. My choices so far are:

(1) A new FRS,
(2) A used Cayman S, perhaps 2010 model,
(3) The upcoming Lexus RC350

What would you folks do if you were in my position?
I appreciate your inputs. Thanks!

FR-S. seems fitting on my thread about my continued love of my car that I would recommend getting another one.

[BobRickel]

Only had mine since Dec 27th. Have put on 15K trouble free miles. I love this car. She does everything well.

I will be at the 2 year mark in 2 weeks, and I'll have just over 25k miles.

Still like the car, but tired of my noisy coilovers and dodging potholes. There are also more rattles than I'd like when my music isn't loud. To be expected with a car like this I guess, but what can you do.

Still love driving the car every day, this next 6 months to a year will decide what I will do after my lease is up. It's definitely lost its brand new luster, but there's not much I see on the road I'd rather be driving.

If you have absolutely no need for backseats and can find a lowish mileage Cayman S for <=$40k then I vote Cayman S.

I would be a Cayman S owner right now if not for an underhanded asshat dealer.

I can say the FR-S backseats come in handy and I am glad I have them.
