[MVJ1975]

I wanted the car the moment it was announced. I'd replaced my 17 year old Mazda MX-3 (under duress, but the MX-3 was trashed) with a completely unsatisfying Scion tC in 2009. I had planned on replacing the Mazda with a similar little sports coupe... and got a nasty shock when I found there was nothing like it available. I bought the tC based on price and features but never loved it. The FR-S was exactly what I wanted.

The impulse came in a month ago. I had initially planned on keeping the tC until it was paid off in two years and then trading it on an FR-S in 2014. After talking with the dealer and realizing that I was going to get more than I owed on the tC as a trade now, I put a deposit on the FR-S and picked it up on May 31st.
