very nice. i like how these are very elegant, with the subtle exterior and the light brown interior.

FX86 06-13-2016 10:33 PM

Unfortunately the only one they had.

I have a MT and previously owned the AT.

Remember this: You will never shift the manual as fast as the AT when you slap that flappy paddle. From a 5mph roll, AT is actually .10 seconds faster than the manual to 1/4mile.

The only reason you get the manual now a days is if you really feel "connected" to the car by rowing your own gears, and thats very subjective ( I sure don't feel anymore connected with the MT than the AT)

Well,tbqh,if you are driving around in NYC,I don't think anyone would be feeling that connected to the car in the traffic you guys get,but let's not start this argument again(even though I was the one that kind of brought it up).

I do like the color of the car's interior,and though I don't like lighter colored cars,the exterior color isn't that bad either.Most of all,those stock wheels are a million times better than the standard stock wheels.The only thing that could've been better is better taillights.

Man that color and interior is gorgeous. My bank account would be in trouble if they offered this setup for the BRZ!

Something tells me Subaru has something Yellow up their sleeves.

I actually prefer a manual for the reasons stated above. I feel more connected to the car and I grew up rowing the gears for years. But... this is the only one they had on the lot so I jumped on it. Since only 1000 were produced you shouldn't be seeing too many of them.

I didn't plan on buying one. I had a 2013 Tacoma TRD OR that I built up and a friend of mine kept begging me to sell it. He finally came up with the right price. The truck was due to be paid off in Oct so I ended up with enough money to pay off the truck (which I owed very little) and buy the FRS outright with cash. It is actually my wife's car.

I'm now looking at a Jaguar F Type R AWD to keep me occupied for the next couple of years before moving back to a truck when we move to Colorado in a few years.

looks good! i really want to see one in person, i think that exterior color is cool, but i want to see it with my eyes rather than the internet haha. i'm still iffy on that interior color, but again, i need to see it in person. it might help if the silver trim pieces came as the oem black pieces though. either way, congrats on the purchase, whether it's manual or not haha.
