Traded in my 2011 Dodge Challenger SE

Got bored of having an automatic plus it was just too big of a car for my taste. I've been waiting for the FR-S/GT-86 since it was a concept and had a surprising opportunity to buy one.

Will be trading in my '03 Tacoma. She'll be missed but I'll be happy to be driving a proper driver's car again.

I traded out of 2009 Honda Civic SI sedan. It was my first Honda product. It was an awesome car...if you like front wheel drive. Upon testing the FRS it was abundantly clear that the Civic SI was a finer car. It had a better sound system, better interior layout and amenities...cup holders, and storage spaces. Let's not forget the moon roof! I'm still coming to grips not having one.

I had always been a Nissan man, prior to purchasing the Civic, but since Nissan has their head up, well you know where; there has not been a proper affordable replacement for my beloved 1998 240SX.

I'm had my FRS for exactly seven days and at this point I can say I like it, but if the faux rear seat was real I think it would be perfect! C'mon Toyota, make me proud!

I am going to be trading in a 2011 Honda Civic Si. I love that car. I know I'm going to miss it and I'm hoping the fun factor in the BRZ more than makes up for it

It was too impractical. It was a great car but I couldn't do anything with it besides drive. Now I have back seats, a trunk, and better gas mileage. And soon my FR-S will be faster too.

Not trading my car in, it stays in the family.

My dad's '93 Corolla wagon has over 240k miles on the clock. The body is falling apart while the motor just keeps on going and going and... He could use another car. And Toyota has earned my trust for life.
