2800lbs with 4 seats since 2013, 100+ hp/L naturally aspirated a, 6 speed manual and rack and pinion steering at under 30k. People complain about power because people live to complain and it's the only complaint anyone can leverage against the Toyobaru as a driver's car.
Lets turn this argument around shall we? People can only talk about how well it handles because it would probably lose in a drag race against a v6 camry. For the american market a brand new brz is hard to justify since for half of the price you get a used corvette c5 z06 thats only 300lbs heavier with twice the power STOCK and we all know how well these chevy engines can take upgrades. Its a good car but its not a good bang for your buck car.
People justifying its handling might be related to the fact that its a sports car. That was the intended purpose. Look at all the marketing leading up to and shortly after its release. Nobody said it would be a rocket, but everyone knew it was built for fun. So I don't see any issue in criticising people who point out faults in something it was never designed to do.
