What would you consider an adventure trip in your FRS/BRZ?

that sounds like a great idea.

Given enough time and resources, I'd love to drive all the way down to Buenos Aires and back... But not in this car. Like someone above me said, it isn't a GT car. Not something I'd want to drive in a straight line for too many hours on end.

I just got back yesterday from doing this in 4.5 days. 4500 mi

[13 FR-S Veteran]

I did Ontario Canada to North Carolina a couple years ago in my Matrix....i'm hoping to repeat it again this summer in my FR-S.

[MVJ1975]

I've done the cross-US from PA to CA on I80 several times. It's mind-numbingly boring, especially through the Midwest. Not exactly a scenic trip.

Oh, and I did it in an MX-3 with 88hp, crank windows, and a tape deck, so I don't want to hear any whining about how the FR-S isn't a good road trip car. Compared to the Mazda, it's heaven.

[NOHOME]

My NOHOME moniker harks back to the two years when I literally lived out of the trunk of a 1990 Miata criss-crossing North America to see what was around. Never really gave it a thought that it was unusual to drive a new car anywhere.

The FRS is more of a GT than a true "sports car" and hence much more civilized on a long drive. Other than the road conditions that you are going to find in some places south of the Mexico/US border, I cant think of a reason not to drive it anywhere anytime.

[Scenic Driver]

I'd drive anywhere if it was a good trip.

I've done trips to drive the best roads in the east. I also organize & lead 1 day and 5 day road trips for TT drivers.

Grants Pass, OR to Brookings, OR to Reedsport, OR to Astoria, OR(for some Goonies sight seeing) to Everett, WA, then back down I5 back to Grants Pass. Just over 1,000 miles. HWY 101 up the coast was TONS of fun, but I5 was, well... I5.

Thanks for the great responses. The car is fine for a long trip in stock form. I will probably throw my stock suspension back on before I make my run to Costa Rica, but I could definitely handle the drive. I have done multiple Salt Lake to San Diego trips on bullet bikes, taking a longer trip in a car is cake. I even drove my classic mini from Spokane Washington to Salt Lake in one day averaging 50mph.

I am a trooper though.

[LeeMaster]

I would drive to Clearwater or Miami from Minnesota, maybe one day....

[Tanuki]

I still really want to try this route out:


I am guessing around 32mpg on average, so that would be around 184 gallons of gas. So 14 Tanks of gas to get there and back. Fuel is around $4/gallon, maybe a bit cheaper and less pure over the boarder, but still you will be around $750 in gas. Still cheaper than flying

I've always wanted to make the trip from Toronto, Canada to Laguna Seca, not just in this car but my previous car as well.

I've done Toronto to Miami before, about 3000 miles round trip, but Laguna is almost 3000 miles ONE WAY. Will probably never happen.

Your selections don't allow for Canada to the US and back up. Some of the best driving roads are out in Eastern Canada (I'm talking PEI and New Foundland) and Western Canada (Rockies!).

My bucket list involves going from PEI through Ontario, down into NY and crossing the US (middle of Canada is boooooring) and then go up into BC and then into Alberta and then swing back down to US and back to the Ontario (where I currently reside).

This summer, my best friend and I are taking a road trip to visit our friend that lives in Ottawa, ON, Canada.. Its going to be a 17hr drive from my house in Georgia
