Anyone had the chance to drive one? Anyone own one? I've been on the market to replace my aging Focus, and I've driven all sorts of vehicles. I had settled on a used 2011 Mustang GT or 2010 Comaro SS, but by chance I got the opportunity to take a drive in a Scion FR-S.
Turned out to be a rather fun test drive, so fun in fact I took the car home.
For anyone not familiar, the car is the result of a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru. Boxer engine, low weight, rear wheel drive....its a blast to drive. 2700lbs and 200hp; its not a rocket ship, but it has enough power to be fun. This car gets sideways with the greatest of ease...partially due to the Prius tires they put on it from the factory...I'm not kidding.
My only regret is that its black. Its great looking in black, but my God, the paint shows every little imperfection.
The aftermarket is already ablaze because of all the crazy drifting fans overseas.
