What do you LOVE the most about your FR-S/86?

There's a thread about what you hate the most about your new car, but I want to start a thread about what you LOVE about it. Obviously there is a lot to love about it, but what part stands out as your favorite aspect of this great little car?

For me, I love the timeless design. By that I mean, there is no "design philosophy" that Toyota tried to mold this car into like you see with other manufacturers. The nose/grille especially. It's unique. I love that. With other manufacturers there is always some design element that they try to incorporate into the final production vehicle that detracts from the overall effect of the design. I'm talking about Dodge and their crosshair grille, VW with their new front ends that all look the same, Hyundai doing the same thing with their new generation of vehicles, Mitsubishi with their new crossover that looks like an Evo X from the front, etc, etc, etc.... The FR-S/86 doesn't look like any other Toyota (or the BRZ like another Subaru), and that means it won't ever be outdated. It looks like a sports car. Period. And I love it.

Simply, that it exists.

I love the fact that this car has gotten me more excited before it is even in my driveway then a lot of other events in my life.

REAR WHEEL DRIVE

The mean sounding exhaust when at low speeds and high rpms

yes defenetely

but on my side, the whole package, yes i would like an extra 50whp but i LOVE it as is!

I like the car better and better. It just feels good to drive, even just around town.

It feels more like driving and less like easy mode. My other car is a 2009 WRX. Always feels like it's fast no matter what gear or RPMs (higher than 2.5k). The FR-S takes more "work" to feel it come alive, but it also feels more enjoyable that way. It feels like it's a car designed for people who like REAL driving, not roflstomping in a straight line.

everything except with a bit more power would be good and more aggressive front and rear like the concept

How sexy it looks:wub:

The transmission

The wipers. My last car had 3 settings, and the intermittent setting sucked. I love having 4 intermittent settings.

The fact that I can actually afford a car that looks this nice and drives this nicely right off the lot.

Rear Wheel Drive & the handling.
