I'll be honest, I didn't know about this car until very recently. I've owned 3 cars so far in my life. My first car was a '92 Nissan Sentra that cost $500 and had no muffler when I bought it, it also smelled like a lake because the trunk leaked and it had mold in it. That car was alright, had decent gas milage, but it really wasn't much. My next car after that was a 2000 oldsmobile alero. The car wasn't small and though it had a decent engine, it was severely underpowered, the thing hated hills. Now I have a 2000 mazda 626 which I just love. I'm so comfortable in this car that just driving anything else make me feel out of place and even a bit nervous.
I decided I wanted a new car a few months ago when my dad (who works for toyota) started talking about the different things he could do to get new cars. He pitched ideas to me and my older brother and I took them pretty serious so I started doing the math and looking at cars. The way I saw it, I had 3 choices I could make, keep my 626 and save my money (smart, but not what I wanted to do), find a used mazda in good condition (ideal, but not smart considering I had a chance at a brand new toyota for a close to the same money), or take my dad up on his ideas and get a toyota.
No offense, but I really didn't want any toyota vehicles, they just feel pretty "meh" to me, so I steered clear of them. Lexus cars were too expensive, so I turned to Scion. I liked the tC a lot, but I test drove one and something felt off about it to me, couldn't really get comfortable in the car. So I was looking at an xD. It was affordable, I could load it with all the options I wanted and still have it close to the price of a tC, so I almost got one. But then one day I clicked on Scion's site and the FR-S was on the front page with no other info. I fell in love with the car the instant I saw it.
I've always wanted a sports car, always wanted an orange sports car. Don't ask me why, I don't know, it's just always been cool to me. I got excited, but nervous when I saw it because I doubted it would be something I could afford. I was overjoyed when I saw the price so I started obsessing over it, but had to wait to preorder it because it's small, and I'm tall. I didn't have the specs for it and couldn't find them so I had no clue if I would fit. I was originally going to wait until it was released so I could sit in one/test drive it, but then my dad encouraged me to pull the trigger and order it early. I ordered it a month ago but still don't have a delivery date and it's killing me. I have definitely fallen in love with this car.
