At 210hp it definitely feels a bit underpowered but in the Northeast you gotta have All Wheel drive. The F is unusable in the snow IMHO as a rear wheal drive car with ultra low profile tires. The 250 handles well but I really wonder if the F can handle like the legendary M series BMW. This car is small. The back seats are children seats only IMHO. Even the front passenger seat is tight for tall folks. I'm fairly average size and I'm comfortable but the drivers seat is almost all the way back. I get great mileage, can get over 30mpg highway but I highly doubt the F is in the league. My biggest beef is what justifies 40% more price just for a more powerful engine. It just doesn't cost remotely that much more to make a car real fast (look at what Chrysler sells at low prices) It is amazing that an engine that powerful can actually fit in an unmodified engine compartment. My "measley" 210 hp engine visually appears to fill most of the space under the hood. I have the IS250.
