Opinions abound. The torque dip is certainly there and documented, but somehow didn't ruin the fun for me.

Waiting to see one on the road to form firm opinions, but I'm glad I got an '18. Front fascia on the '19 seems to be awfully round, and puts an awful lot of grille out there on the SS. Seems more...

Yep, same here. I'm 5'7", and the SS fits around me nicely. If I were 6'2" and large-framed...well, I might have wound up in a different car. Hard to say.

Just curious, why wouldn't you call the FR-S/BRZ a "sports car"? It met all of my critieria for that.. (RWD, true manual available, light weight, tight handling)

Same here..my SS is substantially longer and somewhat wider than the Japanese sports car that it replaced. I had to spend a day reorganizing my garage to get it to fit in there.

It's nice that so many permutations are available for the SS.. I have no use for a sunroof, and prefer the driver involvement of the manual..but agree about the Recaros, good stuff!

Yeah, this is my feeling, after about a month of ownership. Parallel parking in the BRZ was a bit easier..but it's not like it had awesome visibility, either.

AWD? BRZ is RWD. I did have 2 modified Subaru WRX's, over the years, and AWD or not, they were a blast to drive! But, as you say, clearly not a musclecar of any kind..
