I couldn't fit in the Rx8 seat. My back couldn't touch the back rest because my shoulders were stuck on the sides.
The mini cooper seats seem narrow.
How was the lumbar support?
Overall, It sounds like Scion did the FR-S seats right.

i can't even get into an rx-8. i think you will be fine honestly, i didn't bulge out of the seat i just covered over the bolstered edges. if you don't fit the seats it would only be 600-800 to replace the drivers seat with a flatter racing seat. for this car it would be worth it imho

toyota states that the First 86 cars will hit dealers "a few weeks after the Long Beach trip" so the first 86 will get their cars late April, so the cars should be arriving for the general public late May early June

It sounds like the FR-S is truly a special car that will be a blast driving through the canyons, hills and mountains.

it is truly special, people will hate on it for being "rice" or "slow" but its only because they haven't driven one. Us owners will know the joy of the car =]

Thanks for the review! I'm glad that some one here got a test drive in one so early on!
Have you got pics located anywhere else? Photobucket says it's "too popular" lol

Kiteless · 03-21-2012, 12:36 AM

I can host the pictures on my server if need be. Please DM me. VERY jealous that you got to check out the FR-S. I am 6' 2.5" and should weight around 200lbs around the time the FRS comes out. I wish they would release pricing already!
