of course it has enough power and I don`t want to bash on this car
but the way it unleashed it is simply annoying for DD

just look at the peak torque numbers...there is not much happening until you get in the high revs

I can not agree, annoying a 200HP car for a DD? You are spoiled..(and good for you). C´mon i drive a 70HP DD

I´m far from a wealthy guy and i live in a "poor" country (really - no sarcasm) and here 90% of the ppl DD a 100hp car. I DD a 70hp car. I truly cant see how can 200HP be annoying for a DD.

I may possibly agree (but actually i don´t ) if you say 200hp can be annoying in a sport car now days, but not in a DD. But again, different realities, is nice to see how different people can look at a 200hp sport car in different countries.

pls re read my post

for example a 150hp pre facelift
BMW 320d will be 100 times more enjoyable for DD than this 200hp car,..simply because of the way the power is being put out

you step on the gas and there`s power...with the high rev engine you have to downshift and get into high revs all the time to get the same effect.

I saw my first GT86/FR-S today. Orange one coming from the other direction across 3 lanes of traffic. I tried a pic with my phone but it didn't catch it. Looked pretty cool in person, but I would recommend AGAINST orange.
