I drive a 2013 Scion FR-S. Between 2010 and 2012 I was actively searching for a new car, but seeing as how my current one ran fine and was paid off, I wasn't in any hurry. I test drove a lot of cars. I think about 20 in that period of time. A short list of cars I drove that I remember well enough . . . 1994 Z28 Camaro, 1996 Twin Turbo 300zx, 2004 Mach1 Mustang, 2012 Kia Forte, 2012 Kia Soul, 2012 Hyundai Elantra, 2012 Mazda Miata, and 2012 Mazda 6. It eventually came down to the FR-S and the 2012 Ford Mustang GT. Both cars were amazing and spoke to me in different ways, but I eventually settled on the FR-S knowing that the Mustang didn't handle anywhere near as well and that I wouldn't really ever get to use the whole power band, so it was a bit of a waste. I don't regret my decision in the slightest. It's an awesome car and it very much feels like "me." I don't know what I'll get down the road. I'm kind of hoping soon there will be electric performance cars. I think those would be kind of fun.
Yeah. Every last person I talked to though said they'd recommend having a Twin Turbo as a DD. The engine bays are so cramped no one likes working on them and while some people said they're reliable enough, other people said they're finicky. I didn't wanna risk it.
