This is my first post here, and I will be another example of going from high HP to the FRS. After being relocated by my job, and my wife not being able to find a very good job yet, we are cutting costs a bit. So I have a deal pending for next week to trade in my 5th gen Camaro SS for a Raven FR-S. Now, I do love my Camaro, and I'm not what I consider a stereotypical Camaro driver.
My previous list of cars while growing up and going through college include a 1981 Corolla 1.8 SR5 (with extensive mods), a 1985 Corolla GTS, a 1989 Corolla SR5, a 1989 Mazda RX-7 TurboII (my fav, an older woman totalled it while it was parked), and my Camaro SS. I've been keeping the FR-S on my radar because of my previous years in Corollas.
I wanted to be able to save some money on my car payments and gas, while still owning a car that made the daily commute more bearable. So, if the dealership doesn't try to screw me over on Thursday when the car comes in, I will be another proud FR-S owner. I am not going to lie, I will definitely miss the rumble of the LS3 engine with the dual-mode exhaust, just as I still miss the exhaust note of my rotary, but I got to do what I go to do.
