People ask because they are almost there......... they need just a little nudge to take the plunge. Then, for me the buyers remorse sets in for a couple of weeks.

I didn't care for the FRS or the BRZ because when I test drove it, the engine sounded like a VW bug, and that was a total turn off for me. It handled nice, the interior was OK, radio looked kinda cheap, and was 'peppy'. But the interior of the Z is much nicer, it handled better, more power, sounds much better, and more expensive and no back seat. I think the FRS/BRZ had a tad more width in the front seat.

Then I read the FRS/BRZ repair report from Consumer Reports - readers reported much worse than average. The Z was average. The Z sticks out, there are not many on the street. Sales in the US was only about 7338 in 2012 according to wikipedia. Insurance is higher because parts and repairs run more expensive, say almost 3x of my Civic which translates to $1100 a year on the Z for me, no infractions and I'm an older multi vehicle owner. The Z is 100% Japanese made (according to the sticker). You should be able to get a Z for 6% to 10% below MSRP, depending upon the dealer. They are usually getting sales incentives they don't tell you about.
