Hi everyone. My name's Sean and I have leased an ultramarine, manual, FR-S, that I'm going to pick up on Friday or Saturday of next week.

This site (and especially ruskymx) has been great as I try to hunt down the best deal for myself.

Hello world
I'm Ralph from Northern Virginia (USA). I'm not 20, nor 30 anymore but this is my first NEW car. Yeah i guess you can call it middle age crisis When people ask me why I bought this car and I start telling them about rear wheel drive, boxer engine, low center of gravity, precise steering, low body roll, etc. and the go I just tell them it is a BMW on the cheap and we're all happy.
Happy driving

Hello all

Im Steve & Im from NOVA ( northern Va )

Ive had my FRS since last june and it's my daily driver (so she wear's her scar's proudly) on the beltway and 66 .

Ive always had truck's but this is the 1st manual coupe Ive ever had so Im enjoying it every day.

After having had a 1978 camaro, Dakota 4x4,impala SS,trailblazer,Tacoma Prerunner this car is hands down the funnest after the Tacoma.

All Ive done to her are throw in some PIAA's extreme white's low beam's & a grimmspeed tag bracket kit ( worth it )

Hi All,

My name is Eric and I just purchased my new FR-S on June 12th. Asphalt grey, auto. Love this car and can't believe all the looks I get. I am glad to see they are not a dime a dozen like the WRX, mustangs etc.

Hello,

My Name is Jon, i live in North Fort Worth. Just drove off the lot of Grapevine Toyota to pick up my new baby Fiona (Base model Argento). Coming from a 2004 xA, i do have a small list of things I'll be doing to the car in the future (exhaust, intake, lipkit, spoiler and wheels). But so far I'm loving every second of it!

I did get the AT, paddle shifters is just too geeky that i had to get it. And well i want anyone in my family to able to drive it in a emergency situation. Wanted to go stick but I'd just have way too much fun with it . But the shifting on the AT has been great, can't wait to break the 1K mark .

I had to trade down to save money. Living off one income now. The wife is searching for new work. Finding the FR-S very fun though.

hi everyone!

i just put a deposit on a little white frs, and traded in my 5 month old golf tdi
back in february when i was shopping for a car i was too afraid to get the frs and settled with the golf in hopes of having it grow on me...it turns out the 2013 is NOTHING like the old 2006 that i had before that, and loved

after 5 months i decided it was enough

my new white car should be ready next week.....i am already excited like a little kid in a candy store

Hi there,

I've had my eyes locked on the 10 Series for quite a while now. As I kept searching for information the past few months, this forum ended up being the most reliable go-to source for new information. I guess you could actually say this was the culmination of years and years of waiting. As long ago as 2008 there was a rumor that the tC was due for a major overhaul. I was initially content with waiting for this rumored tC. After a year or so it became evident that it wasn't going to be a tC, but a brand-new model of something - but nobody knew what. So I waited a couple of (long) years and finally the FR-S was unveiled. After spending year upon year chafing in my whopping 108 hp 2005 xB, I couldn't WAIT to buy an FR-S. But then out of nowhere, I remembered the voice of my grandfather from years ago telling me never to buy the first year of a brand-new model car. "Let 'em fix all the bug,s THEN buy one." So, I forced myself to reject the desire of every bone in my body and waited a year...a very painful, impatient year. And I gotta say, there wasn't a lot wrong with the initial run of the FR-S.

But then, the 10 Series was announced. After recovering from passing out in sheer ecstasy, I realized my long five-year wait was finally over. That being said, I finally found a dealer who actually knew what they were talking about, put down a deposit, was given a VIN#, and am now counting down the final few days 'til my baby arrives. And I gotta say, the next two weeks seem like they're going to be longer than the past nine years I've had this xB.

Anyway, I have to say I've been extremely impressed by the level of activity and knowledge on this forum and I hope to be able to contribute back in kind before too long.

Thank you everyone!

I was looking at a second hand 350z and instead chose a new FR-S. im completely noob when it comes to car parts and lingos so hopefully i can learn some interesting infos in this forum. looking to do some minor modding here and there mostly the lights and emblems.
