This is another reason why I will never buy a new car ever again. You take too much of a hit on depreciation. Example, if I were to sell, I'm losing $12000 for only 1 year of ownership. Blahhhh! Might as well keep her now since I've only got 4 years of payments left.
But to be honest, I am happy I got the Scion brand new. The feeling of a brand new sports car and you being the first and true owner truly is worth it. Buying a used sports car second hand with its unknown history of how it was treated can be sketchy. The FRS was priced right to buy new. I can absolutely take the depreciation losses in return for knowing the scion will always and only be mine.
I wouldn't trade it in.

$12k of depreciation in a year? Holy smokes, you must have paid a fortune for your FRS!
