The shift throw was also very short for my taste. I test drove a Camaro 20 mins after the gr86 and ended up buying that same car a week later.
I've heard the throttle mapping is different on the brz (less sensitive), which would be an improvement.
I considered an elantra n, but the new facelift model wasn't out at the time. The old front bumper is hideous IMO. Also, I didn't want a fwd car as my weekend toy. I'll give it another look when it's time to replacey daily, but I have a feeling it will be too harsh for a daily.
Side note: Why don't people use the rear cubby, at the back of the center console, as a place to put your phone in the Camaro?

I never thought I would find a FWD car fun but the Elantra N is THAT fun. I have a Camaro as my weekend toy because V8 is still the most important thing to me.
To answer your question about the rear cubby, it’s because a modern phone doesn’t fit in it. In fact it was too small even when it came out in 2016.
