I didnt read through the whole thread, but am I the only one that noticed that "ken gushis 600hp drift FR-S" under that cover was really a tC?... looks like gushis old tC...

perhaps, maybe Mike was mistaken

umm im sorry guys maybe its just me but..navy blue exterior with black and red seats on the interior?....:iono::thumbdown:

seriously toyota? do you have no clue how to coordinate? ...jesus man

yes its dumb. Please just give me black leather all i want

Congrats and thanks for posting!

You have confirmed my feelings about this car.
I'm a FR-S Lover not a hater.
I can't wait to drive and own the FR-S!!!
:bow:

Mad props to Scion for doing this. So happy they are leaving the 86 badging on it. Truely a great tribute to the AE86. Can't wait to get mine.

Congrats to Titus and thanks again for all the great info. I am always concerned about interior sizing since im also a big guy (6ft 320lb) but I carry me weight well. My main motivation to lose weight for the past 2 years has been to buy this car.

Now I just have to pray we get some good TRD parts. I will buy one stock and then start changing things out myself after warranty. Hopefully we will see a supercharger in the future.

Thumbs up for Initial D!!!

Ok guys I just sat in a premium BRZ in Shoreline, WA at Carter Subaru. It is still there today. PIctures and specs don't do the car justice. This car is the sexiest most sportiest/Track type car I have ever seen and sat in for $25K price point! I have been contemplating between the Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec and this and I have been following the BRZ/GT86/FRS on the web for the past 3 years. It was definately worth the wait. I can't wait to drive one and buy one!

That's how I felt when i saw it in person. It's better looking than a ton of cars under 50k. I think in its small sporty class it's the best looking car.

Mx5
Mini Cooper
500 Abarth
Cayman
Veloster
Focus ST
TT

I found it more attractive than all of these other small offerings.

blows them away, it really does.

yea, the only real flaw i found, but red and blue go together pretty well. its not horrible. the stitching on steering wheel, e brake , shift boot is awesome

Update: according to behind the scenes blog of scion commercial shoot the optional sound system is the Pioneer Bespoke

Well...I wouldn't know about blowing away an audi TT or porsche cayman...but for the price it looks the FRS is an amazing offering.
The fact that we are even mentioning cars 2-4 times the price is incredible.

i didn't notice the TT and Cayman, either way both those cars are upwards of 40 50 60 grand..the FR-S looks better than both IMO and people wont notice just another entry level porsche or audi...but the FR-S has a presence..at least it will for a few years.

i was referring more towards the FR-S direct competition based on price

Cooper S
Genesis
Mustang
Camaro
RX-8
Miata
GTI

FR-S is better than all of them imo, the gti is great cause you can get 4-door, but for driving the FR-s is superior it is simply fantastic :thumbsup:

How is the shifter and the clutch feel? I plan on this being my first manual car and I am hoping this is an easy car to drive as a manual.

I was talking about looks not performance. I know those two cars are faster than the BRZ.

Thanks for the write up. I didn't knew all FR-S came with the red stitching.

On another note, I think I'm gonna have nightmares of that gaudy head unit!

Careful! there won't be the red stitching in Canada!

Look up this thread, post # 36 by Jehuty77 who's been to a special event at the Toronto Event. He got to sit in a FR-S and got some extra info from a Scion rep.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...o+event&page=2

This car should snug fit 5'10 160lbs people like me easy.....nice to know.....

are all FR-S come with that Pioneer unit with the touchscreen LCD? even the base FR-S?

Sometimes this is "orange peel"... Sometimes its not correctable by wet sanding however.
FYI, most BMW's and even some Ferrari come with this (super annoying) phenomena.
The information is that this is due to the modern environmentally-friendly paint.

I will have our car prepped and wet sanded likely right after delivery at a wonderful local paint correction and detail guy, I will be sure to let everyone know how it comes out! :party0030:

Thanks for your feedback Titus, we appreciate it! Can't wait... Just got told by Scion "beginning of June" :thanks: :bonk:

has he uploaded the video yet???? i wanna see a video review from this guy's experience...

clutch is silky smooth and very short, shifter was good too, better than the tC's clutch/shifter by miles

no, the pioneer bespoke is an option. you can google "fr-s interior" to see the standard pioneer system

I could make a video but it would just be what i already typed in the post, the only video i took at scion hq was the exhaust video

Awesome! Just read your post. You are one lucky dude. You also mentioned the issue with the steering wheel. I guess another seat would take care of the issue with super low down seat rails. Or wait for someone to make an aftermarket steering wheel hub, modify one, or mix/match from another car, or maybe one for a TC would fit, and run a D-Shaped steering wheel? I don't know. Just throwing it out there. It's a tough one because the stock steering wheel looks engineered really well. Also sounds like they really nailed the rack and steering ratio, along with height, weight, combination of all to create a great steering feedback.

Throughout many forums, blogs, etc. folks write about how they want to drift it or toss it around the canyons. I'd laugh when folks own it less than 10 days and crash the darn car. More accidents on these suckas will raise the insurance rates for everyone else that buys one of these. Or drive themselves off a cliff and take the new FRS/BRZ with them down the canyon (then when youngsters want to buy them, parents will say nope because its dangerous to drive one of those, lolz). C'mon people. Enjoy the damn car for what its intended or designed for. Don't start acting like gangstas and just destroy the damn thing. I'm not hating. Just a lot of the comments are coming from young guys that are possibly getting their first car for their grad present lolz.

And for those that want to boost it already, wait until you drive it, have had it for a while, and sit and wait. Products will come down the pipeline. With more options. And less headaches and problems for you guys. C'mon. You act like you can just slap a turbo on there with a makeshift exhaust manifold, intercooler piping, etc. Don't forget, ECU would be your biggest problem. Unless you have a blow your bank account custom ECU wired. C'mon if you ain't a pro drifter with hella money backing you, it ain't going to happen. It's ok to dream guys. But seriously, buy it, drive it, enjoy it and add the power as you go. I bet for most, including myself, suspension work and some bolt ons would yield plenty of fun based on folks feedback like yourself titusdrake. I look forward to messing with one. I have exchanged conversations with a good friend of mine that I've known for 20 years plus. He is looking at purchasing one and we will exchange some thoughts on parts we could possibly manufacture for it. No promises. But he makes and sells turbos, kits, suspension and stuff now. It wouldn't be too hard. But I guess thats what many folks want to do; or itching to do.

This new car is bringing excitement and anticipation back!

Tell you guys one thing I have in mind: Designing a bolt on supercharger kit with plans to add maybe 50-75 ponies utilizing a Rotrex supercharger with oil recirculation (maybe with a small intercooler depending on costs, reliability, etc.), pack of new injectors, piping, downpipe, pullies, belts, brackets, hardware and something for the ecu and/or to compensate for fuel/throttle, etc. All while using 91 premium gasoline. To have the dependability and reliabiility. To keep A/C and Power Steering and everything else.

Why Supercharger instead of Turbo? With a car as balanced as the FRS (based on numerous reports, feedback, test drives, Mr. Ken Gushi, haha, etc.), adding just a bit more horsepower will really turn this car in to a monster. Anymore than what I'm suggesting will probably destroy the nifty handling and daily driveability of this car. And as balanced as it sounds, I think many will enjoy the instant throttle response of another 50 ponies on top. Seriously do you guys think you'd enjoy the FRS more if we can get it dyno'd at 250+/- with 210+/- lb. tq.? That'll give it a nice powerband for the twisties or occasional canyon cruises, hence I said cruises.

Titusdrake, I like you've posted 86 posts!!! Lolz...just messing man. Was ready to log out and just saw that under your SN.

50 more hp would make the FR-S a MONSTER. like seriously it would feel STI fast, it is already VERY quick. i was planning on only owning my next car for 3-4 years then buying a Mustang GT cause the new 5.0's are awesome..but with dat Scion FR-S price tag ill just drive drive this baby for 5-10 years..ill pay it off then save for a super or turbo. gotta throw some Greddy exhaust and an intake on for now...

like a boss :party0030:

So now that pricing is out, what's it going to be? FR-S or Mustang? Also where was the subwoofer located in the car, does it detract from trunk space or is put someplace magical like in the floor or something so it doesn't interfere with storage?

I love this car already but I have to drive it and when I do you can bet I will compare it to a wide range of cars, Im honestly half tempted to go with the Hyundai Veloster even if it is FWD. More research is required though.

that's exactly what my goal is if I get this car!

so no video yet?
