After much reading, watching videos and a couple of drives I had to do it.
I have the distinct advantage of being able to take a car home when i want since I work as a sales & finance manager at a Toyota/Scion dealership. So last night I decided to take a Firestorm FR-S (MT) and I just couldn't resist.
So much so that after I got home from my regular 30 minute commute, I took a shower and noticed that I had about 30 minutes before the Celtics games started so I looked out the window and saw it there kinda saying "hey, let's take a quick ride"... so I did. A few on and off ramps later (even while staying under 4k RPM's) I realized I wanted to own this car.
One thing that has surprised everyone that knows me is the color choice, this is my list of new cars over the years
*06 Scion tC
*07 Camry SE V6
*07 Lexus IS250 awd
*08 VW GTI (dsg)
*09 WRX
*10 370Z
*12 Camry SE (don't ask)
Every single one of those has been white. I never even considered another color. IDK why but on this car the white just doesn't get me excited but the red really did. Maybe it's because from what I can tell about 70% of buyers are buying white. Or maybe i'm getting old and want to look young
Whatever the reason is, I love this Firestorm FR-S
So, here it is:
