Yeah, I don't like long highway trips in the FRS. Not that it's not good at it, just that I'd rather not be on a boring road in a car that's primary purpose (to me) is to be fun to drive. That's why I have a Regal that is great on the highway, but less fun in the twisties. Though get a tune to fix the transmission and that might change...

Finally I got home
Well Long story short. my search came to an end. And quite literally its surprising to no one but myself. the ultimate daily car, thats fun to drive, cheap to operate. I fit in w/ helmet, is non other than... another 86 this time. I traded up my 15 FRS, to a 17 BRZ, limited, spec'd out with the performance package. Clean history and only 13k miles now I will NOT be modifying this to the same level as my other car. I am going to take measures to ensure to maintain the simple nature of the car as it is. and I can do that by promising compliance with DS in scca mod list that said there are a few things I require. the throttle pedal spacer namely and I am thinking about putting the OFT back on with a 91 stage 1 tune.... and a muffler delete, cause that shit was light and I like my single tips.. feel free to insert I told you so's here |

The Lexus/LandCruiser is INCREDIBLY quiet. Wife and I can converse in whispers if we want to and still hear each other. The stereo is gorgeous sounding (Levinson). The seats are cushy and leather, like sitting in your living room. For me... that's NOT as good. They're not as bolstered as the FRS, although there is an adjustable lumbar support. I find myself having to shift around in my seat during the drive, change seat positions, and having to stretch more at stops to feel good during a long drive. The physical fatigue of driving is less, it's easier on the eyes especially at night or in bad weather, to be up above the road so much higher, and much easier on the ears, but the Cruiser isn't as kind to my body otherwise. Still not sure which one I truly prefer for very long trips. We've tent camped out of the FRS, too, and fit a TON of gear in it. Folks got a kick out of watching us pack up our site down in Oregon Inlet (OBX) last year! The Cruiser is a LOT more fun to camp in. It gets less than half the MPG the FRS does, but uses regular gas so the cost differential isn't QUITE as bad as it may seem. It is a BIT (hehehehe) more capable off-road.
