Why Would Anybody Buy A Scion FR-S?

Today I finally drive the 6 speed manual Scion FR-S!
This one costs half as much as my Nismo 370Z....So, is it an awesome budget sportscar?
I've always liked the Scion FR-S but never really thought it was worth buying brand new. Unfortunately after a few years the sales didn't do to well for the car after the initial rush of enthusiast bought it. The lack of acceleration is the biggest downfall, especially on a car costing $27,000!!

But used for around $17,000? Now that sounds more like it!..... Or does it?

Check out Champion Car Company for your next high quality pre owned car!

The younger generation is so jaded on horsepower...when I was a young man, if a car was able to pull off a sub 8 second 0-60 it was considered pretty darn quick. And the BRZ in any of its variants is a sub 7 second 0-60. Not slow at all. Make no mistake, it will get you a ticket any time you want one lol. Having said all that, yes some additional power would be nice, but I could say that about any car I have ever owned including my long gone 98 corvette which was a seriously quick car for its time. So, if you are THAT jaded, dont buy one...but it really is a car you can live with long term. Its quick enough, economical to operate, and fun to drive, and comfortable enough to be a do it all daily driver. Subaru did a nice job with the compromises they made. Regardless of what the detractors might say about it, it is a wonderful car.

As of this year, the Scion FR-S is the most reliable, gas efficient and customization "on a budget" car.

The frs has to be one of the best looking platforms

The FR-S is meant more for Japan than America, a small island made of mountains.

I'm actually getting my dream car this year which is a 16' FRS, I honestly don't care bout the speed, for me it's about the looks of the car

[Jose_bello_Jr]

I was deciding between a BRZ & 370z.. I went with a 370z a few grand more but waaay more fun for sure! Acceleration is addicting lol and handling isn't bad. Only thing is the blind spots! Can't get used to them. Great vid man. Subbed 😃

Im saving up for a used brz or frs as my first car.

[uralsmol]

frs is more of a run car rather than a fast car, and you can do anything to it

[sucrose]

I bought my 2013 brand new, the only problem I've had is the transmission went out on me last year, so it lasted about 6 years before ANY repairs. Now I do have another issue, the driver's side door will not lock/unlock with the keyfob. I have to lock/unlock manually. But that's it! Love my "Sickspeed"!

[zachg]

For a collection I would honestly have an frs in a collection+370z and m4 didn't want a 370z from this channel I found you looking at videos

Great review👍 if I had a choice for a used budget sports car, I think I'd have to go with an frs again, and supercharge it again. I've grown very fond of boost. Although I've driven both a base z and nismo. I loved them both, but I think I'd really only buy the nismo. I was close to doing so, but at the time my picky ass had to have a new car, and 50k was crazy to me. It's funny though cuz now my frs is basically a 45k car after modding it. Oh the choices we make.

Hey dude, really good thorough review. Nice job.

[RobiticDuck]

I sure enjoyed doing donuts in my '13 BRZ (also manual, I've only ever seen one automatic version of these cars in my area.)

[epicraptorman]

Really like styling of this car. Acceleration is kinda disappointing...

[juliacano]

is this a good car to just get around and drive anywhere as in running errands ? also does it drive smoothly, im really into that but im not really about the acceleration nor racing. I just want to get to point A to point B

[DiscountWaifu]

headers and n1 exaust, tuned. my favorite!

[dsp_splurge]

I’m gonna be honest this might be my first car so I don’t really a super fast car

[deslaya]

the beauty is that toyota made is really accessible to put more power in this car. tunes can get rid of a lot of torque dip, and the aftermarket for the 86 is absurdly large.

[JonBslime]

It really is a shame ppl are not more aware of what the 86 platforms provide as a drivers car, it was never about flat out 0-60 times or racing in a straight line... this car has a near perfect performance to weight ratio with a amazing handling chassis. It’s about holding top speed while taking turns and still being in control of the car and not crashing within 2 seconds of going into a turn even when not pushing it compared to other “sports” cars. If you want straight line performance get a mustang aka crowd killer or any car with high power that still can’t turn worth a damn! I down graded from 07 mustang GT (300 hp) to a eclipse GT (265 HP) to a FRS in wanting of better handling and I’ve never wanted to get in my car and jus drive for the hell of it so much before.

I found a clean title, manual, one owner frs on sale for $10, 998 a while ago. And it was sold before I contact the dealer.
