I have my quad cab Tacoma as my 2nd. It's a hell of a lot better toting the kids and family around and also comes in handy if and when you need to transport more than a spare tire.

With 3 cars its the BRZ that's pointless to own for me

it's really not that good of a dd and still too new to get caged.

It has problems though. It gets like 19 mpg, the rear seat doesn't fold down, and mitsubishi probably won't be around in a couple years. 2015 is the last model year for the Evo lineup too.

If that's what you're looking for, I'd probably go with an STI hatch. You get the practicality of the hatch (and folding rear seats) and the suspension is even more comfortable. Only problem is you have to buy used at this point, unless Subaru wakes up and releases this latest generation STI in hatch form.

Your original 3 choices kinda suck. lol.

The GTR is nice but its too big, heavy and surprisingly, considering its size, almost completely inefficient.
The Elise is nice but why buy an Elise when you can buy an Exige?
The Supra is also nice but this car will feel like a boat (a speed boat) compared to the FRS.

Judging by your first options I am assuming you have money and don't need anything practical. So since you asked. Acura NSX would be my choice. Or if you are good with a wrench, STI swap a 98-01 2.5rs. Then you will have my dream car.

I DD'd mine for awhile also. It's still not as good of a DD as other options though

cdrazic93 · 09-23-2014, 01:44 PM

Tesla Model S.

Milo · 09-23-2014, 05:29 PM

I DD my brz, and well it's not very practical, had to put the rear seats down just to get a broom in it... My other car is a 90 Toyota celica gt4, I can put more stuff in that then the brz, if I could I would like some sort of truck /suv, Tacoma, 4 runner something more practical than the 86...of course dream car would be a tesla because electricity

Annahra · 09-23-2014, 06:24 PM

BRZ is the perfect DD for me.

I don't even want a Tesla anymore because they are EVERYWHERE here!! I see more of them than I do twins.
