I bought my BRZ/FR-S, but I almost bought...

[Flow]

Didn't need a car, so I considered alot of different options. I came closest to buying a still new '11 Ralliart sportback (don't regret not getting it, other than I was going to get it for ~23k) and a '12 WRX hatch (still regret the loss of space, power, and right now - awd, but I don't regret the mpg, and since I'm moving to NoCal, awd will become a non-factor).

I went the other direction took a test drive in a BRZ and loved it but there was a wait to actually get one and it had stuff I personally don't use so I called Toyota and they had an FR-S that I could take that day.

Before either of those I was waiting for the SRT4 dart but the date is still getting pushed back so I'm glad I got what I did.

Wasn't looking for anything when I stumbled on some info about the FR-S online. The more I looked, the more I liked. When June 1st came along, I made some calls and located one at a dealer. Went and looked at it, drove it, and that was it, I was hooked!

Been loving every mile since!

You should get the gen 3.8 then.

Fiat Abarth, I was looking for something more fuel efficient than my 135i. Specially after I tuned the 135i it was getting 14-18 MPG. But when I got behind the wheel off the FR-S, I was sold! Might not be even remotely close to how fast my BMW was, but the BMW was not even remotely as fun as the FR-S.

I was headed to a Mazda dealer to get the Speed3 only to have a Toyota rep stop by to show off the new FRS. I was sold, cancelled all work on Speed3 and ordered the FRS.

I dont know...I get attached to the FRS and talked about it so much that others are tired of hearing me talking about it....Im hoping that release series is promising and for the love of god have some added power

A Prius. My wife and I sat in one and talked all about it (for a couple hours in the dealership parking lot), decided not to get it. We had walked past a Hot Lava FR-S earlier in the day, and though we didnt talk about it right away, about a week later we started looking for one. Then during that process, almost bought a BRZ, but wasnt willing to pay $35,000 for it.

Bought a BRZ, but almost bought a 2013 Mustang V6 with performance package. Thank God everything fell into place and I got the BRZ. It's absolutely rewarding to drive, and I get looks/compliments almost every day.
