I just test drove a 2014 FR-S automatic a few weeks ago and was impressed with the power to weight ratio - not bad. I have seen a lot of videos of others saying the power could be a little more, maybe driving one everyday that is evident. I have followed the news on the FR-S ever since it first started hitting the web and have decided to try to get one now. I saw the list of Albuquerque owners and it is a pretty good list, can't wait to be the next one on it. I'll keep checking here to see what's going on in Albuquerque.
Thanks, quarkdude  |
Welcome, this is the best car I've ever driven (driven a lot of high end sports cars) and I promise you wont regret the purchase. I have come from a car with a lot of power so this was a huge down grade in that horsepower department but after driving the car to be honest Its really not a huge issue anymore. The great gas mileage more than makes up for the horsepower that is "lacks". I can describe this car like driving a 2 stroke dirt bike. It needs to be about 5k for it to move so it just takes some getting used to.
