I'm not entirely sure you're familiar with what a review is supposed to consist of.
It's 90% objective, 10% fact. The facts were mentioned, the rest of it is how I feel about those facts. Opinion is precisely what a review is.

Yeah, I suppose there is a bit too much 370 talk in it. But it was meant to be more of a point of reference in some aspects. I would've felt the same way about the FR-S even if I didn't own a Z. Heck, back when Mazda revealed the RX8, I dislike the thing and I wasn't a Z owner at the time.
The FR-S actually reminds me quite a bit of the Mazda, from power to balance. Quite frankly when it came down to cars in that segment, I've always preferred the S2000 over anything, and I still do. Can't forget the Z4M, either.
But, I am very aware of what the aftermarket is contributing and I've come across some really superb E-85 tunes for these cars that make 40WHP with just a tune - it totally changes the character of the car. There is no conversion required, as the engine is capable of running on both standard gasoline and E85. Just a $300 tune, and you've got 40WHP. That's some of the most incredible bang for the buck, and it will be highlighted in a follow up piece to the review. I always try to shine the light on both sides of the field, so discovering this was an extremely pleasant surprise.
