Friend of mine daily-drove an FR-S for a few years. Recently traded it for a new Civic Type-R. >50% more hp, way more grip, way better brakes, way better NVH, way more interior room, way better tech.
He misses the FR-S. I don't blame him.
I made a similar trade when I went from my Mazda RX-8 R3 to my BMW M3 sedan, with similar results. In my case, I almost doubled my horsepower. If I could, I'd trade all that extra speed for a few hundred pounds of weight reduction any day of the week, twice on Sundays, and extra hard on special occasions.
There's no shortage of capable cars, or cars that combine capability with practicality and comfort. There is a massive shortage of cars that are feelsome and engaging at real-world speeds, with accessible handling limits and limit behavior. That's what the BRZ/86 is for, and it does that job better than almost any vaguely-modern car you can buy.
