It certainly is a bigger car, but an extra two hundred pounds is nothing. And the AWD version of the BMW might weigh even more. And if you are really concerned about weight you could buy a Cayman.

And how much more do you have to add to get the AWD package?

I wonder how many of these are sold with all-wheel drive. I would not buy an AWD version of this over a Golf R or an STi.

They may tiny, but at over 3,500 lbs they aren’t light either. At or over 50k, I expect more than this. Too heavy to be a true sports car, not much nicer inside than an any hot hatch(actually the Civic R is nicer), I can think of at least a half-dozen cars I would rather have in this price range, and another…

Guess I’m not accustomed to your first drives not lasting long enough to write a review:

And this could be the official jacket:

Sorry, but I could never own a car whose color is named “Orange Fury”.

I assumed this was the first chance you had significant time with it on roads other than a brief press review at a track. Was I wrong?

For street use, I do not understand why people don’t go down a tire size and up in aspect ratio. You’re just beating up yourself and the car for no good reason, except that it looks cool.

It looks good in white! A little less busy and more refined.

Strangely enough though, the ride quality is far better than every one of its direct competitors. But yes, I can’t stand rubber band tires.

As usual, you’re a little late to the party, this thing has been reviewed ad infinitum by every magazine, blog, and YouTube channel.

The handling is pretty terrific, I admit.

It’s a nice car, and a bargain at that. I have a friend that has a Shelby GT350, a cool car, but I can’t see paying another 25-30 grand when the 5.0 GT is more car than anyone really needs.

Not where I live, but I could see that it would be tempting for some. I, however can’t stand the looks of the new Camaro, and the Ecoboost Mustang is a little too big/heavy.

Please note I freely admitted the 370Z was faster, no need to restate that. As for Toyota and Subaru getting the marketing all wrong, not true for a lot of buyers, including myself. But it is time for a complete refresh, and I suspect they will listen to the “more power” crowd.

I think are, but we are going to have to wait at least another year. I still enjoy my mine though.

Nobody buys a BRZ thinking of it as a pony car substitute. When I bought mine four years ago, the current model Miata, Mustang and Camaro were not available. The 370Z was pretty much the same as the current model, and the only alternative I considered and was faster and more luxurious but not nearly as light or good…

And what would those muscle cars be, exactly? A new Mustang GT is well over $40,000. Every Ecoboost model well equipped is over thirty grand. A stripper V-6 Camaro might tuck under 30k but I don’t know many people who would be satisfied with it.

Double Life is awesome, especially the harmonies.
