FRS Review at Calabogie Motorsport Park
 
http://life.nationalpost.com/2012/11...13-scion-fr-s/

So the moment of truth for the FR-S (and parent Toyota’s reputation) came when I was ushered on to the main straight of the Calabogie closed circuit.

At the first turn, you get a better understanding of how relatively skinny the FR-S’s rubber is. The 215/45R17 rubber loses grip quickly but in a predictable and linear fashion. With stability control engaged, the Scion’s handling is neutral — its front slides as easily as its rear. But with the e-nannies off, it’s quite easy to gradually rotate the Scion’s rear around.
