What an awesome car!
 
Test drove and reviewed the FR-S and it was a total blast. This one had an auto, and while I was initially disappointed at it not being a stick, I found the paddles quite fun. Any feedback on my video would be awesome! :party0030:

Toyota made the car.
It's ment to corner.
The "Humps" are there so you can more visually know the location of your tires while cornering.
These tires suck for drifting but do brake easy...

Not guna sweeten it for you but maybe you are not understanding the concept of this car?
Anyways nice video !

It definitely is meant to corner, the handling was great like I said. Thanks for the feedback!

That is exactly how I described my experience in a Veyron! In all seriousness the car is very fun.

Do these cars live up to the reliability of a typical toyota?

Nice video. The FRS and BRZ are actually both made by Subaru in Japan.

Thanks for the feedback horrorbiz! Seems like everyone thinks the frs is from a different place ahah.

If Fiat conceived/designed a RWD Abarth 500 and had them built by Ferrari, would the the RWD 500 be a Ferrari? Anyway...

1-They are not double wishbones. Struts up front, multi link rear.
2-The humps are there also because the hood is lower taking advantage of the H-4 to improve visibility.
3-I'm 6'. Adjust your seat height properly. The roof has a double bubble designed to accommodate wearing a helmet at the track. If you check the video, your seat height is higher than the passenger seat.
4-BRZ has different feature set and spring rates up front (3.8 v. 3.0).
