Wife's new Red Dress (Haters gonna Hate)

Made a thread a while ago about my wife wanted a new car.

 

She wanted:

5 speed

Red

sporty

Unique

 

Test Drove:

A3

A4

A5

CTS

Genesis

G37

370z

FR-S at a driving event

Looked at a Lotus

 

Mustang, Camero, corvette are a dime a dozen so they were out.

 

We ordered a BRZ 4 months ago and picked it up today, on her 33rd birthday, great gift! Say what you want about lack of power, I wanted one and I am glad she picked a BRZ over a soft handling A5. No mods, no track for a few years until I get full custody of it. I have my track rat MR2 for that.

I filled the car with helium balloons for her birthday before she took delivery of it!

yeah great car for her:) not a lot of power but sharp wheels.

if I was going for something that looked similar but with a bit more power I would get a new hyundai genesis coupe

 

You might be the only person on earth that likes the stock wheels.

 

Congrats to the wife. These look good in red.

A5??? 370z????

 

And you picked up a (new-age) MIATA?

 

They were probably looking for a more out of the box "driver's car". Those are not the first cars that come to mind when I think of a driver's car...

 

Congrats Max, I remember when you guys were going out to look test drive a handful of these. Nice range, but not surprising what you chose. What would choice #2 have been?

Thanks for the "women's car" comments, haters. :)

I have not driven it yet, but will tomorrow. Talked about looking at a Miata, but too small and they are not unique.

 

Wife is 5'10" and I am 6'4" and we both fit just fine, steering wheel teloscopes!

 

#2 car would have been a 370z if I had my say, but she wanted the red A5 (manual)

 

The Why Nots:

A5 - not sporty enough for me, a touring car, heavy

G37 - same reason

CTS - did not fit, not a fan of wooden steering wheel, very plastic feel inside

Genesis 2.0T - was slow for the weight of it, plus horrid sales person.

370Z - expensive for what you get, felt heavy and disconnected

 

I am also comparing all this to my MR2 which is a great drivers car that has stiff suspension and handles fantastic.
