It is quite amazing to have online someone who professionally tested the car - thank you for that!
As for the names for car - I personally just call it "toyobaru", that explains everything I need (no idea at the moment how to squeeze "scion" into it).

I have a question about comfort of driving, specifically the level of noise inside. If I will buy Gt86 - and I have to wait till September to have it available in my country - it will be my daily drive, with occasional trips of 700+ km, in that half on the low quality roads (bumps, cracks, feeling every concrete block under suspension). As it takes about 8 hours of driving, I really do not like my current car - it is just so loud on a highway that there is no point in switching radio on.
Is there any car comparable by the level of noise inside (say, on a highway) that you could name? Something like: "a bit like bmw 3 with 4 cylinder gasoline engine, but higher pitch" or "just a tad louder than a recent subaru impreza".

Hey Michael, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make comments to the site! I never would have imagined when I slapped the FR-S review up there that the author would be replying on here!

That's different than here, how?


Heh...

Lol my favourite quote was "The FR-S took to the challenging racing circuit like a teenage boy to Call of Duty." Does that mean the FR-S was screaming and swearing the whole time on the track?

My 13-year-old son liked that too... It means it was a natural... there was no learning curve. The only person screaming would be a passenger!

The "job" is quite unreal. I pinch myself each morning.
