how is your mpg????

My first tank I got 250 miles, with about 27MPG, and with some spirited 4k max driving, street, and freeway 85 miles per hour cruising. The second tank was mainly freeway 220 miles, with about 29.5MPG, with mainly freeway driving at 85-90 miles per hour cruising. The range on the car I can see is limited, but for the higher rate of speed i travel on freeway I think it very fuel efficient.

Just curious, how many miles did the dealer put on the car before they handed the keys over? Nice drop and great choice on color by the way!
It had about 20 Miles, but I test drove and Jeff had to move the car around a lot.

I am not sure on alarm yet, and front license plate I was thinking about getting a custom bracket.

Thank you.
Since my height is 6'1 my visibility is very good. My wife had a hard time seeing over the front because she is 5'4. The seat is adjustable so you should be able to fine your sweet spot. I drove modified cars before so harshness on ride is nothing to me, but the ride is firm. The cabin itself is not well insulated from noise from what the car makes or outside just outside noise.

I find the hole in the middle to be annoying, but I was told from a Toyota rep from corporate that they will produce an armrest OEM option after car is in general release.

if so what was the option number and how does it sound

Mine just came with standard, I did have the option of the bespoke audio and I didn't think it was worth the $850

My wife is big on audio performance on the cars and she said the bass hit hard, but the position of the speakers seem to be an after thought compared to other cars. As for me I have never been particular about sound system, because most of the time I pull out the audio for weight saving and just listen to my headphone.

Peckingduck.. Can you offer a direct comparison to the s2k in the future? I owned a GPW AP2 for 8 months, and did not fancy the engine.. This was no 400hp Ferrari, it was a 240hp Honda that only felt like 240hp above 6k.. The gap in hp/tq was a shame.. The s2k is truly an acquired taste.

I would really like to know if the Scion has more legroom than the Honda. Drive safe!

-BobDigi

I think overall the s2000 is a better driver cars, but for daily living the FRS is a far better car. I think the legroom is the same, but width of the car is more in the FRS. Getting in and out of the car I think the FRS is harder. The shifter comparing the two the S2000 has a more direct feel to it.
