Definitely no regrets as far as the car and waiting for a Monogram. I was a bit worried that I might've got something a bit too impractical...but no. I can use it as a 4-seater, it managed to carry the largest package I've ordered, its more fuel efficient than my Impreza by a long shot, its as comfortable as the Impreza is while at the same time being the driver's car I've always demanded by never really got from pretty much every other new car I've driven. Carrying passengers is a slower and cumbersome aspect versus a sedan, but apart from that I actually think this is a more suitable car than my old Impreza was. The inflexibility of my Impreza sedan's seats actually made it less practical for hauling stuff, I had to sideline that car when it came to moving house. If I had the FRS I'd amazingly do a lot better despite being so much smaller. The trunk opening is a too small, but this is easily overcome by using the doors instead.

The only real regret is having to originally explain to everyone that asks "Nice car, what kind is it?" to which I say "It's a Scion" and they look at me with a blank face for a second, and then say "Is it fast?" and I say "No, but it handles like a dream" yada yada yada...
I've since learned to answer "Nice car, what kind is it?" with "It's a GT-86" and "Is it fast?" with "It is now".  |
I don't know if that's a real regret, more like an actual annoyance this car produces simply because of the badge it wears. To most people Scion is a ghost badge, as in it doesn't exist.
