It's surprisingly spacious and very fun to drive if you get it on some back roads. I would never put real tires on the car because I feel like it would ruin the experience. The whole point of that car is having the limits set VERY low with limited grip, but very fun and controllable with good balance. Once you start putting sticky tires on them they are ruined.

It takes a lot of money and suspension tuning the get a Z to handle as well as a BRZ/FRS does when you drive it off the lot.
The tires are crap, but everything else is dialed in. Sure, it won't win a pedal-mashing contest with a Z, but that's not really what either car is made for anyway. |

If I had to drive an auto, this is my favorite slush-box. (I think it's the same one that comes in the Lexus IS) In sport mode, with the nannies turned off, it does what I would do with the gears 95% of the time. It even holds gears for engine braking. |
