They're AWD (though if they're like most Audis, they will push quite a bit when cornering).

Scion FR-S vs E63 BMW 6-Series 645Ci / 650i

I'd go with the BRZ, not the FR-S

But in all seriousness, BMWs can get expensive to repair, so be careful about buying used. The E63 will certainly feel less nimble, but more powerful and more comfortable. Also, the E63 will be more expensive to modify. Parts are certainly harder to find and are usually more expensive, in my opinion.

Also, to avoid people calling you a troll without reading the post, put Used E63 or the model year in the title. People aren't smart enough to realize what you mean when you say E63, sadly. And even the E63 ran until 2010, so the year is pretty important for people to be able to realize that you're asking about a price matched car. The 2010s would still be out of the price range.

Cheers!

Thank you sir.

Im not interested in the twins anymore due to lack of room in the back. I still think they are great looking cars though.

I just updated the thread title. I'm not to worry about parts and labor. I have a good friend that works on German cars during his free time. Anyways, I just decided to wait until later this year to find something.

Thanks again.

So you're Internet shopping for a car you haven't sat in or test driven?

You're doing it wrong.

I have a busy schedule. So I'm just trying to narrow down the list. And whats wrong with asking people for feedback?

I mean this is a car forum. People post on here when they have questions...

For example. People are saying the SC430 and FR-S have very small space in the back. So why brother going to test drive them? You see, it saves me time

How could you possibly be comparing cars like this? Are you just looking at pictures? Oh its 2 doors RWD and pretty let me put it on my shopping list. Comparing sc430 6 series and FRS? Throw an F350 on the list too.

Sorry to be rude but you really seem to not know what you want out of the car. Sounds like you want to look cool going to church and family gatherings, so I'd get the badge the people you go out with idolize the most, and its not a scion or a subaru.

correct. major trolls man.
this thread is FULL OF FAIL.

Haha you guys saying this is a troll thread are stupid. Why can't someone compare these cars? Is there a rule about it? Jesus, people.

@johnnyfast11, please tell me where it says that you cannot compare price?

I'm comparing cars by price. Do don't have too, but I am.

Again, why are people like you adding to the "trolling"? It doesn't make any sense. If you can't help someone out than please stop posting...

What I'm was trying to find out is if anyone owns a E63. If so, do they like it better than their BRZ/FR-S? (But I already crossed the twins off my list due to lack of rear room.).

What I also find odd is that its the people that keep saying I'm "trolling" are the ones that keep bumping this thread... I have already stated that the FR-S is off my list. So end thread... I guess some people need to work on their comprehension skills.

Hey there are $500 an hour hookers male and female, I don't compare them because I know what I want. Comparing something on price alone is not really worthwhile which is why I stated you should throw in an F350, you can get a used one in the same price range.

Also please show me where you said you crossed off the twins. All I saw was you want to fit 2 short people in the back which the twins are capable of.
