Test drive tonight! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

RearDrive · 06-02-2012, 06:12 PM

Went to my local Toyota dealer on my lunch break and saw the fr-s in person for the first time, I'm going after work to take it for a test drive. My first impressions were mixed. The car looks really boxy in person and with the current wheels on the car I think it looks a little silly (definetely needs some wider wheels). The cabin is tight and looks like decent quality. Popped the hood open and wow pictures don't do the engine bay justice it sits so low! There will be more impressions once I get back from the test drive! Hopefully I'm not dissapointed! The colour was the Dark grey colour which I'm not a huge fan of.

If I may ask, which dealership was this? I called the one closest to my work earlier today and they were still giving me the "it should be here in the first week of June" statement. Well guess what? It is the first week of June.

Valley Toyota in Chilliwack. Stupid situation though I went there after work and waited around for 20 minutes and we were about to go out for a drive when he tells me that there's a deposit on the car so I couldn't drive it. Not impressed!

Looks like I might have to go FR-S hunting tomorrow, though likely not quite that far East.
