Arrow Excellent Video and Review: FR-S Pilgrimage Road trip from Vancouver to Laguna Seca!


FT86CLUB Homepage Featured Story


[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thtP1TYvp6E"]YouTube[/ame]


A rather long video, but reasonably well done. And, no, he does not get to drive the FRS at Laguna Seca, so do not expect that at the end. He does get a ride in a Skip Barber Mazda3.

I really enjoyed this. It's basically a review but he goes through all the details and describes the whole essence of this car really well. Thanks for sharing!

This to date is one of the best reviews I have seen, he nails what the FR-S is all about... It's nice to see that someone other than an "86" owner gets it

He is so passionate about our beloved car. This is the best review I've seen thus far. I loved the end when he described the car and the trip. Great job!

Everyone doubts the Mazda3 but I owned one identical for that one (except color) before my BRZ (2nd Gen, S model, Manaul, sunroof package) and it was vastly more competent than anyone thought.

Until I put the hurt down on a lot of big power cars on Daytona

When I first saw the post, I thought how boring another one of these- but this was good- entertaining and gave good objective insight. Thanks for the review. P.S. Initial D is my one of, if not my favorite anime series.

Loved the video. So happy that the car's essence has been captured. It was as though I made this video because I felt myself smiling and agreeing with almost every word as they were said.

Where Barcelona to Budapest is more rock and roll, this is more of a day in the life of an FR-S owner.

Definitely a resounding Well worth watching and needs to be shared.
