But I understand how more power can be appealing when the car is hauling more than just a single driver. If all you do is drive around getting groceries, might as well get a clean little FRS or 86, or even better, a mid 90's Miata that will be dirt cheap to buy, insure and drive while providing a fun ride, if you can handle that much manliness.
Haha, too funny.

Mine is a 5-speed but it's little 1.5 L only has so much to give regardless of what you do. A hundred horsepower/torque is what it is.

I was on the cusp of buying a Ford Focus RS last year. Working from home, I don't actually need a car, so I've been content just modifying the Yaris. Also far more unique than an FRS/86 or Miata. They're dime a dozen.

You make Snow White (my FR-S) sad


But nice system you got going. I thought about getting another 10" sub in a ported box (like I had in the Vios), but didn't want to run a separate amp and power cable through the firewall, and I wanted something that's on the lighter side and super quick to disconnect for the heavy grocery runs. So that's why I stuck with the 100w Bazooka tube. That, and it didn't cost me a penny (neither did the 50w version in the FR-S).
