Hello all! I'd never even heard of the GT86, BRZ or FR-S until about six months ago. That's when I saw the episode of Top Gear where they reviewed it (the GT86). If Clarkson doesn't badmouth it, it MUST be a decent car, I thought. Found out the American version is the FR-S. I could not get over what a beautiful shape the car is! It has curves and corners in all the right places. So, when the time was right, I went to the dealer and jumped in head first and bought the FR-S... my test drive was the trip home after having signed the paperwork! THEN I got on the internet and found this website and others, and did my homework.
So yep, I did the entire process completely backwards: I bought it, test drove it, then did my research on it. And you know what? I nailed it! I'm one slap-happy pappy. I LOVE this car! It drives like nothing I've ever driven, is beautiful to behold, and gets awesome gas mileage to boot. It is the car I would have decided on had I spent months analyzing and researching the entire market.
And the icing on the cake is, I ended up (basically without realizing it) getting the 10 Series (#704) so it has all the extra goodies. I'm looking forward to getting to know other owners in the southeast. I'm in Northeast Georgia, plenty of great curvy mountain roads that this little car just breezes through!
