Cubby works for me...

Went to go check out the FRS today for fun. Sticker price ranged from $26- $30 on the 4 the were on the lot. Sat in one & looked behind me. Man how dare they call this a 4 seat car. The only people fitting back there are either riding in car seats or have no legs. Although I didn't drive one, sitting in it I felt the seats were comfortable, but seems the Z leather seats are firmer. I feel the interior is not even close between the FRS & 370z & at $30g's I'd pay a couple grand more for the 370z.

YMMV

The back seats help you keep insurance costs down. That's it.

Uhhh...yea, exactly. Drove both the frs and brz. Very underwhelmed. I was a HUGE nay sayer to this car. Close to $30K??? Well, been to Sebring a few times, see them on the track, now they arent setting any records, neither are stock Z's, that being said, its a FANTASTIC, simple platform to toss around. Real good fun factor. Then again, for he price, Ill have a Z, have as much fun and exponentially faster in every area. Fun, little car, but $30K? No way, $21-23 tops, would be ok.

So what the manufacturers of BRZ and these low hp cars designed all this themselves. Nissan should diss them because they are trying to compete or watever that friendly s*** they are trying to portray.

With this, no embalming involved. It's already mummified.
