Question on difference of 2013-2014 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JamesBond000 · 08-01-2014, 10:35 PM

Is it true the legroom is less on the 2014 model? I heard from my friends that tried to test drive the 2014 models that they did not fit. Me being a big guy they were the same if not slightly smaller. I fit fine in my 2013 >.<

Yep. The 2014 is 11 inches shorter overall to improve handling. Reducing trunk space didn't test well in focus groups, and they couldn't remove the rear seats without causing insurance rates to go up. So they took it out of the footwells.

It's no big deal. You get used to wedging your knees against the underside of the dash.

If your friend told you to jump off a cliff because you will survive and win the lotto, will you believe that person too?

You do realize it's incredibly easy to look up car specs, right?

Not sure what your friend was on, but like the mav1178 said specs are easy to look up. http://autos.aol.com/cars-compare?cu...v8=&v9=&spAd=y

Has he told you about the mighty turbo engine they added too?

PS: No difference except kneepads (which aren't that big, really!). So your friend just has no clue.

The seat slide release is right between your legs

Maybe they were just dumb if it in fact is the same legroom as the 2013 frs.
