What do you love the most about your FR-S?

I have to say I love the incredible balance/well roundedness of this car. I've had quite a few special cars over the years, and this one is definitely my favorite -- it just does everything well as my DD.

So this morning I'm coming around a wet corner feeling the liveliness of the chassis and stock tires telling me all kinds of goodness, and I decide to goose it a little to see what would happen. Rear end kicks out, cars tracks perfectly around the corner, and I proceed on my way with a huge smile on my face knowing that buying this car was definitely the right move for me.

Thant's what I love most about my FR-S...

Drifting
Going 50 mph while turning

What don't I love about my FR-S...

Hell, I even like having the crickets, seriously. I don't start hearing the chirping until my engine oil temps have reached (or exceeded) the standard operating temperatures, letting me know when I can and can't get on the throttle or run through the powerband. Although, once I get Torque Pro up and running, I won't need to rely on the mechanical insects, but still.

I can't really pick one particular thing that I love about this car because there are too many to choose from. All I have is love for my baby

Definitely hate the crickets so much. Switching around gases and ive been driving it harder since its broken it's break in process. Crickets are so loud when i use cheveron 91 down here in socal. When you hear it inside with windows down, or even a car next to you at a light that amplifies the sound.

However i do love this car more than the cons. My previous car was and rx-8. Loved that car, super smooth, great handling, unique looks, rare on the streets, and not your typical straight four. Only down side to that was the 16mpg LOL. 45$ for gas every 5 days from just driving to school. Now i get all that with my fr-s but i pay 32$ driving to school (15miles 1 way) Driving to work (4miles 1 way) and driving to the gym (5 miles 1 way) all in the same day 5 times a week. I can drive it hard and i get gas every tuesday. 29.1 avg mpg, 35mpg freeway traffic and 27 local. It has everything my rx-8 had and good gas mileage too. And i grew up on toyota cars. Wanted a toyota sports car for so long but never wanted to pay over 10 grand for a used supra =P. This one definitly answered my needs perfectly.
