Hey everyone. I got on the waiting list for my FR-S back in mid-June. Dealer called me this week to let me know it should be in July 25th. Got it in Raven with AT. I'm trading in my 02 Civic lx right now so this is a nice upgrade for me. People bash the fr-s for only have 200 HP but im coming from 115 HP so I should have plenty of fun with it. I wanted to get it in manual but have a lot of traffic to deal with on my commute to work and have never driven one before. Been reading the forums for a while, figured id join.

Hello, world. My order for one argento FR-S M/T went in a month ago. Should arrive late August. A long-term Toyota fan--I'm ecstatic to see this car in production.

Just ordered my FR-S (Whiteout). Dealer says is will take few weeks for delivery. Been driving a Saab 92-x since 2005. This car has me excited to drive again.

Hi to Everyone

Nice to be in this forum!! Exited about my FRS !! Couldn't be happier about it!! My goal with my FRS is convert it to an FT86 (meaning climate control, pushstart, exhaust, headlights and everything else) and in the long run modify the engine somehow.

Saludos a todos los Boricuas y Latinos que estan en este foro!!!

If anyone knows about an FRS Club here in P.R. Let me know

Thanks

Add another geezer to the list.
Picked up the last unmolested FR-S from a local dealer last night. I originally wanted an MT but after test driving the AT a month ago, I rethought my choice. I'll not bother with details why but it just made more sense to me, and I couldn't be happier.
The dealer that I usually deal with insists on loading them up with too many options to make it profitable. The Raven AT I test drove is now on the showroom floor with a sticker price of $32,000 (and some change)
I wonder how long that will sit there... SMH.
My salesman that I've dealt with for the last couple cars I've had told me to look elsewhere out of frustration. So, here I am
YO!

Went in a few weeks ago to my local scion dealership wanting to test drive the new FR-S. Guy told me they've been selling as soon as they come off the truck, but took my number and said he'd give me a call when more came in.

He called me Thursday morning, I went in and test drove it, immediately fell in love. Went home to discuss with the wife and consider finances, went back the next day (yesterday) and pulled the trigger.

Here's a picture from Thursday.



Looks much nicer now that they've cleaned her up a little bit.
