I test drove the BRZ and FR-S, a Camaro 2SS, S2k, and a Z4M before getting my Z.

The BRZ and FR-S, as well as the S2k, are very "tossable" at slow speeds, if I was an autocross guy, thats what id go for, but im more of a track guy, so the low power was just not livable.

The Camaro was very powerful, but handled like ***, had worse blind spots than a Z, and had WAY too much plastic inside for the money.

I had a REALLY hard time not liking the Z4M coupe, it was powerful, small, well appointed, but it was an 07 so I had a hard time justifying that much money on a car that old, and the maintenance costs are insane.

I went with the Z because it had the right balance of nimbleness, power, reliability (compared to 'murican and de german cars) and build quality, and im very happy with my decision.
