I want to play in one
This pretty much sums up why I want this car.
I've driven really powerful cars in the past and they kind of freak me out a bit. I don't have the experience or training to properly drive something overly powerful. Plus, I have a history of speeding tickets that I don't need to repeat.
The BRZ, which is a joint project with Toyota (Scion FRS in the states and GT86 overseas), is by all descriptions just a really fun car. It has not received a single bad review, and the general consensus is that it is among the most fun cars to drive.
And Merlin, I figured I could fit at least one bike in there with the seats folded down and the wheels removed, but right now, we (my wife also races) rely on the truck for going to races, and that includes hauling our bikes, spare wheels, a cooler, trainer...
