No mistake. By all accounts it's a wonderful car. Good luck

The recent road tests of it and its twin the Subaru BRZ are very positive. You may need to upgrade the tires though if you want to track it.

the basic chassis setup is driver oriented and a tuners wet dream
lightweight, low cost, low center of gravity of drivetrain due to flat-4 engine configuration, manual transmission and rear wheel drive (with LSD?). I'm sure it won't be long before you see turbo 500+hp versions by tuners

Should have bought the Subaru.
I give it a year before the insurance rates match or exceed that of an M3. |

I don't have much track experience, only drove a few times. I will like to drive a new car and not worry about too much mechanical problems. Any problem happens to a corner of Carrera or M3 which will cost more than a new FR-S. A CIVIC SI costs $25990. A FR-S is $25990, flat engine, RWD, nice style, a very light and small car. Curb Weight 2758lb Height 1285mm Width 1775mm Length 4235mm Lease rate is good: $2000 down and $420 per month (Tax Included) for 3 years. Hope it is a good decision.

Why would that be a mistake? I wish I had bought one myself although I like the BRZ a bit more. Nice car am well priced IMO. I haven't had a chance to drive one but from all the reviews, it should be a very exciting car to enjoy.
