The BRZ / FR-S produce more than enough power while also having exploitable limits. What's the point in having a car with all kinds of power and extremely high limits when it can only be exploited while going balls to the wall on a race track?

With cars like the BRZ / FR-S you don't have to exceed all the posted limits to have a blast driving it on a daily bases. Because of the relatively modest power and relatively skinny semi-performance tires the BRZ / FR-S can be ran through the gears, induce oversteer, drift, etc without the risk of losing your license, etc.

Again, these cars are all about the experience behind the wheel not 0-60, nurburgring time, etc. Stats are great for selling cars but they don't even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to evaluating how great a sports car is.

This is why cars are thoroughly reviewed / tested first hand and judging by the vast majority of credible entities that have reviewed the BRZ / FR-S they don't need more power are are phenomenal driver's cars.

The Mazda MX-5 Miata is no quicker than the BRZ / FR-S and it is World renown for being one of the best driver's cars on the planet. So there's no reason to think that the BRZ / FR-S wont be as well.

I'll have to test drive before making up my mind in the end. There's always the MX-5 if I'm not entirely convinced. I know for sure that's a phenomenal car because I've driven it so no worries there.

I've driven many far quicker cars and none where nearly as fun to drive other than perhaps an EVO 9. But an EVO is far more expensive to maintain. Oh and the S2000 is awesome but as a daily driver a bit too harsh and I don't want to buy used.
