What purpose or role will the FR-S / BRZ serve you? - Page 7 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

1. I am MALE.
2. I think this car if priced right will be to a wider market than we think.
3. Females 25-45 just like the 205 & 184 Celicas.

^I can imagine. My friend plans to trade in her 2010 base Camaro for one.

I planned to have this as my DD but after an unexpected change of jobs I'll be moving to the midwest (w/ occasional snow). A daily beater will rack up miles while the 86 is garaged.

Will share the daily driving use with my Wrxd and keep my original Impreza all locked up in the garage and fetched out for shows

Bit nervous of using it in the snow after my problems with a 350z

rL-gT · 11-06-2011, 05:45 AM

Weekend vehicle along with my IS250

DD will be the IS300.

chopstickz · 11-06-2011, 06:54 AM

It will definitely be a great daily driver with that kind of mpg... however that rating was on Prius tires I believe? But yeah it would be a really fun car to drive everyday and track once in awhile. The only mods I will be doing to the car is suspension, at least for the first few years.

Ultimately, this will be my DD but upon purchase it'll be used for weekends.

Speedjunkie · 11-06-2011, 10:13 AM

There should be an option for all of the above.

1) Daily Driver (maybe)
2) Show car, right off the lot this car is getting an aero kit, some volks/works/ccw/iss forged wheels and some nice suspension.
3) This thing will see the track, my wet nitrous kit will like that 12:5:1 compression.
4) Id like to take this thing Auto crossing and drifting. All of this is very possible in Orlando since i can walk to my track that does all of that(CRFC Orlando)

Daily driver and I might take it to the track once or twice a year for fun.

kimcicle · 11-06-2011, 01:33 PM

Weekend / modding / track / fun car. Daily driver will be the G37 I currently drive.

El_STiG · 11-07-2011, 11:19 AM

just like my Hyundai genesis. Daily driven, weeknight touge car and drift car. Can't wait to beat this car up.

SHINCHU86 · 11-07-2011, 11:36 AM

daily driver with some track duty.
i have daily driven all of my weekend warrior cars. (s13, ae86, s14, camaro)
this will be nice since it will be new so comfy if i dont take the vanpool on my 140mi commute (compared to other cars with mods out the wazoo), and still able to hold its own if i take it to a drift day or autox.

i just hope i dont bang it up too bad and have to replace a rear quarter! LOL

Realistically, I believe that over 50% of the FR-S' sold will never lay rubber on a closed track. Not to say it won't perform well, but most people buying a budget sports car aren't going to spend money on that.

Ikaros · 11-10-2011, 02:24 AM

I will probably still take the bus when I buy this car, since gas price is so damn high >.> But on weekends I'm gonna have lots of fun driving down the windy mountain roads.

I will sort of do the same thing but only because there are some parts of NYC I DONT Want to drive in.
