The entertaining FR-S goes against Toyota’s image of building only boring cars. Essentially identical to the Subaru BRZ, the Scion FR-S differs only in some tuning, styling and equipment details. Read our blog for more details on the Scion FR-S: bit.ly

its called the toyota gt86 elsewhere like europe and japan but over here in the states its manufactured and decorated with scion badges/logos. scion was created to appeal to generation y customers. id prefer the car with the original toyota and 86 badge myself. you can buy them online for a fairly good price
Meh. It’s the age old argument of American muscle vs. Japanese nimbleness. Personally I would take this over a comparatively priced Mustang any day of the week, and a friend of mine rates the Mustang miles over the FR-S/BRZ.
Wish this guy knew how to drive, makes the car look bad.
Just bought this car a week and a half ago and HNNNNG….I’ve fallen head over heels for this ride! Living on winding country back roads makes it a really fun daily commute to and from work.
even this guy drove like an ass in the car, has anyone done a real review of this car?
While that car looks and performs in a stunning fashion, the better bang for your buck is the Mustang v6 especially with the performance package. However, the nimble and balanced demeanor of the FR-S/BRZ will entertain much like a Miata MX-5 and RX-8 would. Sometimes the extra power isn’t all that is needed to bring a smile to a driver’s face.
he made the statement that you cannot get navigation on the FR-S which is incorrect. It is an $860 option.
MOAR!
Now that’s what driving is all about! fun. It’s time we get out of this ‘sofa on wheels’ or ‘whale on the road’ SUV craze, and get back to the real sport and fun of driving.
You’ve never had fun in your life? What a sad existence.
Its funny how they say the FRS springs are softer when in fact the rears are actually stiffer and induces oversteer much easier.
This is why I’ll NEVER, EVER, buy a USED FR-S/BR-Z! LOL!
BTW, when did Consumer Reports reporters start having fun doing their jobs?
not* the owner+
hahaha nice one. i’m the owner of the last comment but felt that i needed to express my laughter. probably true though… Illuminati is in everything
c’mon 200 horses thats weak sauce with a side of bs for dessert
Why isn’t it still called the Toyota 86 (Hachi Roku) in N America?
Back to R&T and C&D for the real scoop…
Toyota and Scion finally decided to put aside the Metamucil and suppositories and build a fun to drive car.
Any bonehead can build a fast car in the straights. Superior handling is engineering prowess.
Glad I bought a tc 7 years ago. Car looks like shit.
hes having fun. i would laugh the same way.
I’m glad we got our Drifting urges out today.
Let’s get back to business
The illuminati?
Its called having fun.
Scion it’s fucking awesome, the all idea it’s buy a good value/price ratio car, full of only the necessary to have a fun drive, and the best it’s incredible easy to improve, performance parts are sell everywhere! and that’s fucking awesome!
stupid shit.
