I just skimmed the rest of his reviews and didn't see a single sports car other than the FR-S. Mostly trucks, SUVs, and family cars. I'm thinking the twins might not be his kind of car to begin with.

Actually was a good and well done review, but disagree with some of his points.

Strip out his final rating and I really can't contradict many of his comments, pretty objective review.

It goes to shit when he counts high revving as a disadvantage and gives it a below average review while calling it "the almost perfect sports car".

A guy from Texas thinks heated seats are dumb? Well that's surprising. I'm guessing you wouldn't have such a strong opinion if you lived somewhere with a winter.

Even in extremely cold weather, my ass is generally not the first thing I try to warm up. If you prefer that then more power to you.

My fiance is from Alaska and she even mentioned that heated seats are dumb and not needed. Just another thing to potentially go wrong. This is why we have heaters and A/C... Take it for what its worth.

If I had a choice of getting air conditioned seats, would I do it? No, because in a minute or two, I'll have cold air blowing. I'd rather spend money on wheels/tires/suspension instead of making sure my ass is warm or cold.

Well you're certainly entitled to your opinion on the subject.

Wasn't intended to flame the BRZ owners who have the heated seats already. Just stating my reasoning why I purchased an FR-S vs the BRZ and that's one of the swaying decisions besides the front end. I figured I can add the navigation aftermarket, wasn't too keen on having the side door lighting, or the climate control in a tiny car.

This is why we have options for this reason. I may find it doesn't suit me, but someone else may really really like it. Same goes with modding cars. Some people slam it, some people go for performance. We should be lucky and thankful to have so many options. My fiance's Dart has a really crappy aftermarket and its turbocharged.
