Crap. Now I have done it.
 
My local Toyota/Scion dealer finally received an FRS that wasn't sold before it arrived and they gave me the call to come take if for a spin. I was worried that after all these months of reading magazine articles and this forum praising the car that I would have built it up too much and be disappointed. I WAS NOT! This is a seriously fun car! I need to wait a little longer before pulling the trigger but, I have to say, my mind is pretty well made up.

haha should have just bough it! I did something similar... My Civic was causing me some headaches so I test drove an FRS. I immediately bought it because WOW.

It definitely doesn't have that acceleration punch of some other cars in the price range, but run it through some corners and I wouldn't want to be in anything else. It's just super fun, planted, and great to drive. Probably one of the best car's I've driven, including ones that cost 4 times as much.

My Two Cents...
 
My Mustang cost a little bit more. It's also faster. But it's also a lot less fun to drive.

Test drove one yesterday. It lives up to the hype. Even the automatic was like WOW!

Everything was perfect except the color. I am also trying to figure out if I want to wait for a 2014 model.

Good timing though. You can actually find them on lots now.

Oh, God…

That didn’t take long.

You’re not going to start up, again, are you? ;)

The FRS/BRZ are junk. You were hypnotized by the dealer. It was all a dream. Slow and cheap. :D

lol, honestly, I came from a 500 rwhp cobra and I was told I would regret the swap. Friends and family alike. I have not regretted it a single day. The FRS/BRZ is better than its hype. I was hooked after my first test drive. There is something about this car that is SUPER addicting! As said before....welcome to the dark side :thumbup:

AbsolutKev86 03-16-2013 07:31 AM

wooohoooo!!!!

I tried finding a replacement for my Integra Type-R for probably 3 years. Drove tons of "fast" cars, but they just weren't FUN.

Took the brz out, and by the 2nd corner, I knew it was what I'd been looking for. It just puts a smile on your face at every corner. And even when below the speed limit. :)
