  A manual BRZ is far from a shitty sports car. Hell, it’s more agile than a lot of $100K+ ones.

    Oh I drove a Saturn sky and wrecked it. That car was fun but I was to young to properly gauge its quality.

      Yeah. They don’t sell it with a better engine because it would embarrass more expensive cars, kinda like the Porsche boxster/cayman (which handle better than the 911).

        When I moved away after high school my parents sold the old Volvo station wagon I was driving, decided the newer Volvo wagon my mom had been driving would be what my younger siblings would drive, and with strong encouragement from my younger brother, my mom picked up a used Boxster thinking that she’d never have to do the carpool line again. This was after the dot-com bubble burst and there was a surplus of used Porsches for relatively cheap. Somehow they found one as an automatic transmission back then, but it was still the best car I’ve ever driven as far as the handling goes. I loved the GTI I bought later, but that Boxster was a different level. At the speed limit it was almost like the car was steering itself because it was so effortless, and it was easy to go double the posted speed limit without realizing it if there weren’t other cars around.
