Also please show me where you said you crossed off the twins. All I saw was you want to fit 2 short people in the back which the twins are capable of.
I'm not looking for a truck

I never directly stated it. But if you have any comprehension skills you should have came to that conclusion.... Lets look for clues shall we?

And I thanked him. Using common sense I am agreeding with the man. Why would I be interested in a car with less rear room than the SC430, when I just stated the SC430 didn't have enough room in the rear.


Than I ended the thread with...

Its funny because you complain about "trolling" but that is all you doing right now. You are not adding any useful info are you? Do you have an E63? I am asking owners and former owners advice. So this does not pertain to you at all.

Wait, so because YOU bought the car for a certain reason, then other people should think the exact same way?

Your IQ is just... sigh...

All your posts are SUPER FAIL. You think everyone should think the same way as you. That's smart.

Who is we? You are assuming all FR-S and BRZ owners brought their cars with under your standards.

Guess what, people cross shop the twins with the FWD Honda Si and the much heavier and more powerful Mustang.

Lol, yeah your IQ is so high. That explains your great grammar...

I don't get why you guys are even questioning his comparison? He's trying to figure out what is best for HIM and his family, and no one else. So why are you getting so worked up with what cars he is looking at. He can go brand new, or get a used luxury coupe for similar pricing. Don't people compare getting a brand new 86 to a used C5 Vette? Totally different animals but I don't see people getting on their case.

A lot of people have comparisons like these. I went from a luxury cruiser to my FR-S, so I technically was comparing the two. Got a problem with that too?

Wow, is your comprehension skills that bad?

I ruled out the SC430 because of the lack of rear room. Than someone says the FR-S has less rear room (and I thanked him and he give me a list of other cars to consider) and yet I'm still interested in the FR-S (with less rear leg room than the SC430 which I already crossed out). Are you that stupid??? Well I guess you are...

I never directly say "I'm no longer interested in the FR-S", but if you read between the lines its clearly obvious. And I stop replying to the thread. It was people like you that kept bumping this thing, so....

I think I already look pretty cool in my MK4 Supra and FD RX-7

And yes, I do take care of my family. I'm not a deadbeat like some people.

I mean this is a car forum. People post on here when they have questions...

For example. People are saying the SC430 and FR-S have very small space in the back. So why brother going to test drive them? You see, it saves me time
I see your point, and it's definitely a good one. After I submitted the post, I realized that was exactly how I picked out the FRS, so I'm the asshat here!

BMW (new ones) are not known for their reliability...they are known for being good lease cars. I've seen the 135i and that would be a great car to get that's 2 to 3 years old. BMW will hold it's value better if you bought used.

For the handling and power I say get 135i unless you are more focused on handling instead of daily driver. You get your 4 seats and lots of trunk space. If you had to sell the used car you get more money back then buying a brand new car. I think it's a closer comparison than a 650...really different class of cars.

The BRZ would be a very respectable car if it had turbo and better interior and few minor things to make it a great low cost sportscar. I definitely pay another $5K for turbo and leather interior...hell make it a 2 seater and hatch back instead of a trunk...but I'm going off topic
