Saw an insurance question, as long as the motor of the vehicle is less than 2.5 lifer than it is not considered a sport car, if its more then your insurance will go up. My dealership that I bought my Tc from told me that.

well as far as back seats ..well I was driving with four people in my new FRS..now one friend is short and sat behind me (I had the seat 2 notches forward) and the 2 other passengers are 6' each and they squeezed in (right front and right rear)..not the best for a hundred mile drive..but no problem for a short drive some place. I drove a miata for 2 years before I got this car so belive me when I say this ..the car is much more usable.

It's gotta be bc of how many young kids own tC's and cobalts. Let's face it young kids wreck cars so insurance companies see these cars as a liability. Until recently most Z owners were older and more 'responsible' drivers in the eyes of insurance companies.

To the guy who said your insurance will be cheaper if its under 2.5L. That is not true at all. Z=3.5L cobalt=2.0L...the Z is still cheaper to insure. The Z is even cheaper then my slow as crap xD!

Ok sorry for the late responses guys, I was not able to test drive it until last night. So here the run down of what I think. After my GF finish test driving the car I had a chance to take it on the high way. There is little to no difference in both cars. We test drove a premium fully loaded BRZ 6 manual and it pull just like the FRS. The big difference is the interior. Man talk about nice i started to get jelly for a second lol, the cockpit in the BRZ is design a lot better then the FRS, from the seats to the dash to the head unit and controls. To be honest tho same car just more beautiful inside.Power is the same and saw little to no difference in performance, Although it seems the steering was a little loose on sharp corners in the BRZ.

thats due to the understeering of the BRZ.

If you haven't seen the card in person yet, then how would someone know.

Space, for many people, can be an issue. If your strickly pimpin with your lady friend sitting shot-gun , then the coupe should suffice.
