A friend of mine saw the car and said "I'd rather get a V6 Camaro".
...He was serious! But apart from that, most people just tell me I have a really nice car. Some girls tell me they think it's cute (but that changed when I got the lip kit and the wheels). I try not to show off very much, but when people start asking about mods, I get all excited and start showing them every little thing I've done to it. |

Older guy (60+) stopped me in a parking lot the other day. Asked what model of car it was and I told him a Scion FRS, but it's made by Toyota and Subaru. He looked dubious as he said "So what is it, about 50k?" I told him a bit over 25k and his eyes about bugged out of his head.
We chatted about it for a bit before he said thanks and when he went to leave he said "Compared to American cars like the Mustang, it's so ELEGANT". I laughed and nodded. He waved and I heard him say as he walked away "I'm just going to get in my Matrix and leave now" while he chuckled and waved. |

Maybe it's crooked? Some people are sensitive about that kind of thing.

I've had my car for exactly 1 week and these have been my experiences:
1st night driving around after bringing it home. Just driving around getting a feel for the car, a white FR-S pulls up next to me with his buddy in the passenger seat, they both roll down windows "Nice! Dude!" and I tell them I just bought it, he had an atx, and I'm mtx. We "raced" to the next stop light. Lol 3rd day with car, getting gas at a shell station, BMW 335i next to me, as I come out of the gas station and back to the pump, the guy is ogling at my car. "bro what is this thing?! It looks like Maserati or Porsche or something, how much did this thing cost you?!" I tell him and he's in disbelief and starts telling me how hot of a car it is. He said he'd trade me his BMW for mine. I laugh and tell him not a chance lol 4th day with the car, driving down a local highway and a Porsche GT2 with passenger fly by me, passenger looks and smiles at my car with his thumbs up. 5th day, s2000 tells me he's jealous of my car. Same day, on campus, hot girl walking with her friends on campus as I'm cruising to work (I work on campus) she pushes her boobs together and blows me a kiss. I don't know this woman, but she wants the D, most likely in my car lol (at least that's what it seemed like she wanted haha) I'd say my encounters with people have been positive. I see a lot of people eyeballing it. |

Had a GTR owner checking out my FRS at a stop light. Asked what I did to it and said he was considering one for a daily driver. I think he was more interested in my car than his...

Someone asked me that too and also asked if it was the reinvention of the Toyota MR2. If you think about it, our car shares similarities at least in body styling to those two cars and I'd also say in sex appeal since people seem to ogle those cars as much as ours lol

Probably bc Nissan screwed up by only offering that dbl clutch manual transmission that I've heard is very disappointing. Lol
