I suppose you could call this an impulse buy for me. I'm 23, living at home with my parents as a college grad just trying to get a better job to afford moving out on my own (which by the, reading a lot of the stories on here I feel severely behind on my life because of all the people younger than me doing a lot better haha) and I didn't necessarily need a new car. I wanted a new car. The only reason I could even think of getting a brand new car, not another used car, was because my dad works at Toyota. I was looking mostly at the Scions because, to be honest, I didn't want a Corolla. I was thinking about the xD for a while because it was the cheapest but I kept flip-flopping on the idea because my current car was having issues and I wanted to make sure it ran flawlessly before I sold it to keep the value higher.

I will admit I didn't know about the FR-S until a few months ago and I know I loved it the instant I saw the teasing picture on Scion's website but I swore up and down to myself it wouldn't be affordable but then I saw the price and I pounced. Something more affordable would've been a better idea because of student loans, but I really wanted this car. I went for it. And I'm a frugal person by nature too.
