Heh, I'll sell you my running swap for $1500 shipped

i probably would have stuck with the mini until it died. i mean, it's a fun car, but it really needs more umph to it. yes, i could have gotten an S, but i'd rather have what i consider to be one of the most beautiful cars of the decade

This is what I was going to buy, if I hadn't found the FR-S. 2012 1LE SS

Id still be drivin a prius saving money waiting for Toyota to bring out a sports car. Nothing else out there has made me as happy since the hand full of different gen supras Ive had. Im pretty much a yota fanboi, and will prolly stay that way.

Probably an EVO 9 or 2012 Mustang 5.0 with the Brembo package. Maybe just kept my WRX for a while and bought a cheap rwd fun car to keep myself entertained

midenginebias · 09-10-2012, 05:40 AM

2008 Subaru Legacy 3.0R

2001 Honda Insight

1991 Acura NSX

2007 Lotus Elise

Don't know ... was looking for a nice car for 2 months and when I saw the BRZ, that was it, I didn't look any further! :-)

Natheria · 12-02-2012, 01:05 AM

I'd be driving my NA miata. I still plan on buying an FRS in a year or two, possibly replacing my Civic with it. I probably would have bought an s2k at that point (actually, I'll still try and find/test drive one when I'm in the market again... Honda! Why you no make sports cars anymore!!!)

GhostofAkina · 12-02-2012, 01:55 AM

WRX- new or 128i- used.

Exhaust · 12-02-2012, 01:56 AM

Ok nobody judge me...... but I kinda like the new dodge dart *GASP* clear the room..

wdninja · 12-02-2012, 02:04 AM

Would have kept my 2010 Evo X.

I've got almost $50k invested in the FR-S right now and have enjoyed doing all the work myself...just waiting on the damn turbo kit to arrive to install the rest of my go fast goodies.

2013 Camaro. Which I'm going to do anyways because I am very uncomfortable in FR-S seats.

Subie · 12-03-2012, 12:13 AM

I would have seriously been considering several cars, including but not limited to:

Civic Si
Camaro SS
Mustang GT
Impreza WRX/WRX STI
2013 Accord Coupe (I would have waited for its release)

My preference was to stay under $30k, so most any new sporty car that's in that price range would have been on my list.
