TTAC: Hedonist vs Frugalist: 2012 Scion FR-S

"The Scion FR-S may not ever come near these heights of popularity. However, it will help redefine the current image of a sports car as some testerone poisoned icon that tries to invoke power and muscle above all else..."

I have a hard time reading reviews when they cannot even get the information in the title correct.

Nice to see this posted here - and nice to see TTAC providing a variety of opinions on the car. I suspect Mr. Lang's perspectives to align more closely with most of us who intend to use it as a daily driver.

Interesting that he went into details about how well-designed the car is for user maintenance.

I'm satisfied with it at 4500+ rpm in gears 1-3. Maybe even 4.
