This grow QUICKLY grows on you. I've been taking turns faster than I was in my Nismo 370 on coilovers.

I should point out I spent a good deal of seat time in the FR-S before I bought mine. I knew exactly what the car was and I liked all of it. Best car to come out of Toyota in a looooooong time.

Yes, if it was possible I'd highly recommend every potential buyer to drive this car for a minimum of an hour before making a decision. After about 5 hours plus in the seat now it just keeps getting better and better. I'm going to end up getting in trouble with this thing. Where I never got in trouble with my more than double powered Camaro.

This car has a fairly narrow niche. But if you're in that niche, there's nothing like it, and very little to complain about.

Many others have alluded to this, but after you've been behind the wheel a bit in the 86 you'll begin to hear it - this car has a spirit, and it's an antisocial little hooligan. It's the immature cheese in those Cheez-it commercials.

It compels you to do silly things. Listen to it at your peril.
