TXGarage review

http://txgarage.com/2012/05/scion-fr...d-quick-drive/
Quote:
The Mazda MX-5 is the first obvious choice. They are both basically the same price, and both lightweight, but the FR-S seems to be more than the MX-5. It has more power and it’s a little bigger of a car. I can actually fit in the car with a helmet on with no problems. Your next choice is the Genesis Coupe, which you might know we like a lot, but the Genesis is actually a lot bigger in size and feel over the FR-S. Also with its new engine tuning for 2013 it has much more power than the FR-S. I think of the Genesis as more of a GT car over a track focused car. Really, one of the cars that comes to mind for me while driving this car was the Porsche Cayman. It’s light and focused and similarly sized. The engine in the FR-S is almost pushed back far enough to call it a front-mid engine layout. Yes, the FR-S is down over 100hp to the Cayman, but it’s also down almost $40,000 in price!

i think they hit is spot on

Judging by the quote looks like a great read, nice job man you've been on point lately. I'll edit my post when i have some feedback.

Shoutout to texas! :happy0180:
This was such an exciting review, the reviewer really conveyed his excitement and love for the car so well even i was smiling as he was talking about going through the corners. Also, when it came to car comparison he mentioned the porsche which i found exciting because thats basically how i see this car at not even half the price. Also hes planted another seed that the auto might not be so bad after all, its such a solid transmission that even the manual enthusiast cant even decide. Definitely have to drive this car before i can make any decision. These reviews are making it harder and harder to wait!!
