Horsepower.

I also own a 2013 Corvette Grand Sport. That car is way fast, handles great, is smooth, comfortable and reliable. Yet, in most driving situations, I prefer to drive our 2014, Scion FRS. The comparison in power is almost a laugh. But, in many ways that is what I like about the Scion. It is so fun to use the power it has to its full extent. There is virtually no where on the streets where you can realistically or safely use what the Corvette has available. The Scion makes you work for it some, but that is the fun of driving it. It is plenty fast for almost every type of driving. Even when auto crossing. It just means you have to run it up in the rpm and take advantage of the great handling. The Corvette has the ability to leave the FRS in almost any situation, with out working too hard. It's just not as fun as using your skills and the handling abilities of the Scion. More power is always desirable, but I truly enjoy the balance of the Scion. Plus with more horsepower, generally comes less dependability and more stress on the brakes, suspension and driver. My Corvette cost three times what the Scion does. Yet, I find it to be just as good of a car. Just different. Now I just have to hope no other Vette owners are reading this.
