The Z4Ms are even worse in the handling department. They're just ... no fun unless you're going in a straight line. IMO.

Yeah, Miata/FRS/BRZ are definitely not my cup of tea. I drove a stock FR-S once and was really underwhelmed.

I haven't driven one, but I bet an M2 would be a pretty perfect daily driver for me... if they weren't so freaking expensive, and if they weren't a BMW.

Modern BMWs just suck ass to work on, and they have a lot of recurring issues. I put a lot of miles on my cars. I don't want to work on them constantly.

I loved my E46... it was just too slow and it seemed like I was always working on it. I loved my E36 (and Nick's E36 brought back a lot of good memories) but holy crap they're old.

I feel like I should go drive a V8 gen6 Camaro.
