Goodbye to everyone! Going down the SI route

That's what I'm doing come Saturday at 10am! Just walk in, take a look around the car, start it up, then sign the papers. I only went on one test drive a month ago. 39 hours to go!

Yes the interior is cheap. It's a scion. But I could give a fuck less. My last car was BMW with red leather seats. It looked awesome. But then I realized I don't really spend much time looking at my seats when I'm driving. It only looks good for the 2 seconds when I first open my door, after that I don't care. Driving a luxury car made me realize, I don't care that much about luxury lol. Sure its nice to have, but it doesn't get my adrenaline pumping.

I know most people could never go back to driving a cheaper japanese import after driving a european car. But then most people don't drive the way I do. Everyone else wants a comfortable relaxing and quiet ride from A to B. I wanna feel the rush and luxury doesn't do that

Now I'm not saying the bimmer can't get my blood flowing at all. I had my fun in that car too, but it still wasn't as fun as my FRS. It's really hard to beat the driving feel on this car. It sits so damn low and the stock suspension already feels like its on coilovers. I fell in love the first day I test drove it.

The engine doesn't have VTEC scream of my old honda, but it still revs nice and high. It will pick up a few girls less than the BMW but that's ok, those are just the gold diggers anyway.

This is a great fucking car for the money

Why can't people just be realistic. I hate fanboyism in general

Exactly. You think you are buying a reliable car from a reliable company, and then you realize it's complete junk. How was I supposed to gauge how bad the car is from a couple test drives. Haters gonna hate, I guess some people just hold toyota/subaru to a lower standard than I do.

I may never understand why people escalate a conversation based around individual opinions into conflict?????

That said I would concede much of the quality issues: tail light condensation, crappy sound system, wet window squeak, etc etc etc.

But I don't care because comfort and refinement were not on my attribute list for buying this car. But that is MY LIST not everyone else's. Personally I have sold off some other cars that most would consider superior but kept the FRS and will probably make it a dedicated track car at some point. Those other cars failed to hit that special nerve where you absolutely love to drive them and no longer notice the flaws.

Post pics of your car(s), regardless of what they are. I'm curious now.

When a car is special to you, flaws just become 'personality'.

haha this is basically how is described my first car to all my friends.


It may not be the most fancy car, but it's got "character"!

Doesn't make me less curious


I'm starting to lean towards T "Canadians are Eh'holes" Coat's opinion.

You mean that he's only here to stir up shit? I don't even think that's an opinion anymore; it's been more than amply demonstrated.

Flaws such as a cheap interior, shitty paint, bad sound system, shitty headunit (no problem with the stock one in my '15 to be honest, I don't mind the speakers either), creaks and rattles, lots of road noise?

Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to any of that, I was too busy looking out my windshield while taking corners at twice the posted speed limit with a big ol' shit eating grin on my face.

I just do my best to help those who have less experience in the automotive world, but hey, this is the Internet and everyone is going to act like THEY know what they are talking about.

The best thing to do is keep our heads up and continue spreading the truth, and just hope that someone learns something.

Thank you to those of you who actually read what we had to say, instead of starting arguments. Fanboys can be so childish

Good day!

I hate shitposting in general. You don't seem to be doing anything but belligerently posting vague responses claiming to "educate" people.

Also, you say you dislike fanboyism, yet:

If this car had come with 240hp stock, all these dudes would still be singing the same tune, saying that they don't need any more than 240, and that 240 is perfect.

Just man up and admit that our engine is weak. Honda had a 200hp 2.0 liter back in 2006, and it gets even better mileage. We need an upgrade

• This car needs more power. Just because you are satisfied (or have convinced yourself of this), doesn't mean that most people don't notice that it is in fact lagging in the power department. Nearly EVERY driving enthusiast who has reviewed this car, has agreed about this.
• This thread is full of fanboys making excuses... Just stop. There is no excuse. Toyota and subaru got lazy on the engine, period. Just look at the other threads, nearly EVERY single member is looking to make this car faster, and most have had to boost it just to get decent power.
• You don't mind the stock power. Fine, but please stay out of our way while we plead with Toyota & Subaru to make a decent engine.


It always cracks me up to see people say that the stock power is perfect. If this car had debuted with 240hp, would the same people be saying that the car has 40hp too many? Lol

*Flamesuit ON*

Also holy cow you live in Visalia. You should come down to Bakersfield C&C and hang out with the rest of the FR-S owners. There are two NSX owners here that I'm sure you'd love to meet as well. First one's on me!

Also that way we can see what you actually drive. I'm curious now. I've never seen a photo or build log from you, and you only have a handful of posts referencing your FR-S/BRZ.

Also, since you're being level headed and we're all fanboys, What would you recommend for a new 2015-2016 car under 30K? Also what would you recommend used? I'm doubly curious.
