How many of you plan to keep your FRS for a LONG time? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

CrazyWookiee · 09-30-2012, 05:33 PM

I'll keep it until it dies. People say "oh, you'll say that now, but down the road...". So be it. For now I'm going to say I'm keeping it until it dies. I treat it really well and it's a weekend cruiser. When that gets old, it'll be a Spring/Summer/Fall daily driver and when that gets older, it's going to be tracked. In 5-10 years when something good comes out, this car will be saved for weekend track runs and my new vehicle as a weekend cruiser or good weather dd.

Simple. 'till i die. Or 'till i'm damn broke :P

bimmerboy · 09-30-2012, 09:24 PM

once the STi BRZ comes out, i'm sure many will upgrade

Texas BRZ · 09-30-2012, 09:34 PM

I use to say that I would keep a car for several years... But that has never happened, maybe because I'm a bit spoiled... I admit.

I plan to realistically keep my FR-S for perhaps 2-3 years, or until the powertrain mileage warranty is up (60k miles).

However, I will most likely trade-in for an updated version of the FR-S at that time... Unless I happen to have a terrible experience in owning this car, I'll go with something else... So far @ 5k miles, the car has been above my expectations.

Im keeping my BRZ forever.... well... till it dies. Might get a 3rd car in 5 years or so. But my BRZ only has less than 2k miles on it XD

tomato86 · 10-01-2012, 12:31 AM

Probably a very long time. I said that with my last car ('08 Evo) but wanted to go in a different direction. Ideally I'd keep this forever and maybe grab another, better version down the line to stow away... I'm sure I'll need something with 4 doors eventually too.

Add me up! First owned car and will be a keeper! Car is like no other car out there!

pyro530 · 10-01-2012, 01:45 AM

I will probably keep mine until they come out with a TRD or STi version.
I'm thinking by that time I will have a 2nd car as a daily driver so I can keep the miles off of her.

JoeBoxer · 10-01-2012, 01:56 AM

I rarely keep a car longer than a year or so but this one will be with me for a long time, i absolutely love it.

track_warrior · 10-01-2012, 02:19 AM

Im keeping mine till it dies at the track!! Hopefully not anytime soon.

Reflex · 10-01-2012, 04:09 AM

Keeping mine for now.. until a better FRS/BRZ comes out so I can buy it in stick cause I drive auto right now

st162celica · 10-01-2012, 07:14 AM

Give it to my son in 15 years time.

MVJ1975 · 10-01-2012, 08:05 AM

I'll likely pass it off to my son in 8 years.

But Bunta that is a race engine, you could go to jail!

I plan on keeping mine for at least 5 years. That is about as far as I usually get with projects. I think this one may last longer though because there are so many parts available I can play for ever.

I plan to drive it on this motor, maybe turbo it, until it dies and then swap in a new motor.
