I’m the minority based on what data? Internet commenters? I’ll confess that it’s not the greatest daily driver, something like a FiST/FoST, GTI, or similar would probably make a better DD. But if I have to compromise with just one car to do DD/track/autox, I’ll take the FR-S every time because of its ability in the…

Yeah, I’d probably enjoy a bit more straight line speed. But on a momentum course, like the one I drive most often, the car’s handling means I’m still passing more powerful cars on some straights because of the speed I can carry.

Once the car become a track only car I may end up fixing that with a header, e85, and a…

Yep, I’m the asshole here. lol

I made the comment mostly in reference to people who claim the car doesn’t even have enough power to commute on highways properly/safely, which is an absurd claim that’s made surprisingly often.

Regardless, if they don’t like driving them then why are they commenting on an article bitching…

It’s funny how all these people apparently don’t know how to drive a low horsepower momentum sports car with a manual transmission.

If you have to fix it as soon as you buy it, you bought the wrong car for what you’re looking for in a sports car. I’m 4.5 years and ~95k miles into ownership of my FR-S, with plenty of autox, rallyx, and track days as well. Have yet to NEED any power mods. The car is still faster than I am with stock power, and I’d…

It sure is :)

I’m seeing averages around 27mpg city and 33mpg highway, but I also like to use the full rev range of the car and don’t pay that close of attention to fuel efficiency. It’s not bad, definitely good enough for my needs, and I didn’t buy a sporty car with the expectation that it’d sip gas. Also, the Civic…

The GTI is rated for about 33mpg highway from the factory, which means you’re seeing better results than advertised. What makes you think 86/BRZ owners aren’t seeing better numbers than factory advertised fuel economy too? Because I know plenty who are. Comapring the 86 to the GTI, for 2018 models, the GTI is only…

lol wut? What high compression NA sports coupe, or any sports coupe for that matter, or you seeing that’s getting 30mpg city and 40mpg highway? This is a stupider criticism than the people bitching about the lack of power.

When are you guys gonna do an event in Chicago? Preferably karting.

What’s your honest expectation for the A90 Supra?

Debate that occurred earlier in my office: What do you consider the BMW Gran Turismo cars; hatchbacks or crossovers?

Pick a daily: BRZ or ND.

If you could own any Kei car what would it be and why would you pick it?

It’s a known rumor mill without much validity to a lot of their stories.

Check the plate ;)

Ah yes, TopSpeed the shinning star of automotive news integrity, known best for their diligent effort to only publish verified and factually based articles!

I believe honesty is the best policy

Nah, you just gotta look in the right places. Many of the people who grew up at that same time, idolizing those cars and tuner culture, are participating in Time Attack, HPDE, and drift events like Gridlife. Which is a great thing IMO.

I’m gonna have to disagree with you there.
