No cabin issues for me. There is a distinct lack of rear seat room, but I don't plan on having many passengers back there anyway. There is a bit of road/tire noise, but not much (my previous daily driver was an '06 Accord SE, and with the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity tires it was dead silent...so I'm kind of spoiled that way). There is more leg room in the front of this car than there was in my Accord.

Comparing other cars from other countries after tax to our FR-S after tax is like comparing a nipple to a baby bottle. No comparison. Genesis Coupe R Spec is going to be subject to the same 13% tax and charges...
Amen to that...

My $31000 (CAD) fr-s is comin next week! Finally.. >.<

Wow after TTL + financing + shipping cost + exhaust and everything my limited BRZ was less than that. Even at 13% tax you are getting raked over the coals. That being said my limited BRZ is well worth 31k.

EDIT: Okay maybe CAD but even in USD it is worth it. I enjoy driving the BRZ as much as any car I have owned that was 2-5x the cost; albeit with a bouncier ride.
