As usual... don't read the comments unless you have a desk or wall to mash your head against.
Not much else to say, we all love our cars here.

The crappy thing about this car from all I can gather, is unless you can have seat time, you should just shut up about this car. The people whinning about low power are usually the non-owners and never drove it. (talking about the comments).
Makes you wonder why, because every single review of this car is stellar!

I wonder how many height complaints are people not knowing about the height lever? I'm 6'1 and I actually scoot the seat forward a tad and have plenty of headroom.

It's sad that some folks will never get over their pre-conceived notions (whether it be cars, food, genders, races, religions, etc.) and experience new things, but that's life I guess.

Ironically one of the things I love the most about my FR-S is how easy it slows down. I can floor it to pass quickly through a narrow gap (not dangerous gaps) and then just ease off and brake a little to be back at the speed limit because it's so light. Try that in many other cars and it's hard breaking and big weight shifting forward.

I went to the link and said to myself, time to start enlightening the ignorant through some gentle head bashing (theirs (not mine)), but, then I realized, I don't need to justify anything. They are the ones depriving themselves of driving enjoyment.

Downshift, and downshift often...I love the engine sound at high revs.
Heeltoe, and Heeltoe every shift...I am more addicted to this car everyday! |
