Comes down to overall price. I like like the subaru more overall. Only thing I like on the scion more is the front fascia design. Other than that, im diggin the subaru. Seeing as how the subarus price will be somewhat negotiable, if I can get it for about the same as the frs, subbie for me but if the difference is still a few grand more after negotiating, probably the scion.

For me, I feel like the subaru is just a better representation of the car. First off, the motor is primarily their design as is a bunch of other mechanical bits on the car. While im not retracting away from toyotas efforts and awesome involvement with the car, I feel like, at heart, the car is really a subaru...but based upon its development history branching from classic toyotas it seems as though its soul is a toyota. I own 2 new scions as daily drivers right now. Theyre good cars but they FEEL so cheap. They feel expendable. I have a feeling the overall feel of being in the subaru will be a bit different.

Not hating scion cause theyre a great company. Obviously theyre the same car but there are differences between the two. Other people can agree, some cars from some manufactures have a special feel to them. One different from other cars though they may be similar. Seeing as how im parting with my built track/drift s14 that ive had for over 5 years as well as my daily tc, I just wanna buy what drives and FEELS like a sports car....not an economical coupe like my current scion.

That being said, unless the price gap is vast, ill be going with the subaru
