When I bring up this car to my friends they literally have NO idea what I am talking about, therefore I only speak to my guys about the newly released vehicles.

I plan to buy within a year or two, after I pay off my Scion tC. I am just waiting for the best timing on my financial schedule to purchase the FR-S. What can I say - I like to shop and pay off other bills (college) before I just get stuck in a loan once more.

Alright, so all your girls.....do you own one yet? Plan to? Can you drive stick? lol...and guys - what do you think about females owning/driving one of these cars? Too much horsepower? HA- not enough for me...but that's a whole other topic. Let's just say my left leg has more muscle then the other.

I want the manual whiteout FR-S. At first I preferredthe Raven but I think white is just more classy. Plus - it will match my other vehicle. I don't really plan to take it on the track or anything, just drive to work, events, other places and have fun living my life (while looking good in my new FR-S).

:thumbup:

I own one, in manual, and I am a female :happyanim: trust me, you'd be surprised that there's actually girls out there who are interested in cars and are not afraid of getting dirty changing their own engine oil!

But in reference to girls and the FR-S...what's wrong with the passenger seat??? haha, but seriously my fiance is very excited for me to get mine, and apart from her already having a newish car, I would be very happy if I win her over on MT, RWD, lightweight, and small.

I would never buy this car for any 18 year old (no matter the gender). Lots of Subaru and Toyota models I would consider, but not a low to the ground RWD sports car. I say this as someone who's first car was a RWD sports car....

I wouldn't expect many girls to be on a car website. A Mary Kay or Lia Sophia forum, sure. But many girls don't care enough about a car to join a forum.

My girlfriend has a manual Ultramarine on order with Jeff at Longo. She is also a forum member.

Could be that there aren't a lot of girls on here because... well, look at some of the responses to this thread. Can't speak for the ladies, but personally I try to avoid any place where I'm considered that much of an oddity.

(As for women drivers in general, my last serious girlfriend was a better performance driver than 90% of the guys I know. Drove a manual transmission JCW Mini, that she tinkered on and upgraded herself. Drove that car like she stole it, everywhere she went.)

She couldn't believe how slow it was when she floored it. She was like 18-19, pretty hot too! :party0030:

Anyway, I'm test driving the same car on monday but I explained to the dad that the car as not suppose to be fast in a straight line, it was more of a handling car but they still decided to get something faster.

This post is the funniest post on this site. :bellyroll:

Nice to see some of the ladies representing. I'm the "other" M in "M&M" - AND the First 86er AND a female. My hubby's been doing most of the posting because I'm too busy driving my new FR-S. Glad to be in good company of other women who appreciate the awesomeness that is this car. I got obsessed with Initial D about a year ago, then heard about the mythical "Toyobaru" in development, and about busted a gasket when I got moved off the wait list to be a First 86er. My new Asphalt baby is my pride and joy! And FYI it's an AT because I like paddles! :lol:

Lady right here and recently signed up. I'm waiting for my Manuel FRS still (saving up some backup money before going out on the hunt for one).

Right now I'm just learning all I can about the car since this a fairly new hobby for me.

The arcade game was so much fun. I wish they had one around here.
