a Prius is a step up from BRZ at least the Prius is not claiming to be fast
Uuuuhhhh, it's stated everywhere that the brZ was not ever meant to be fast from the factory. Its handling is superb, the car is extremely well balanced, and is the perfect new-age tuning car. It's a poor man's Porsche as many describe it as.
Hop over to ft86club and read the threads where owners had traded in their high hp cars for a twin. There's even owners who have gtrs and still love their frs:brZ.
Prius tires were put on the car for a reason, to make the car less predictable. Were they the best choice, no. However, they serve their purpose enhancing the driver's car effect.
