I watched 2/3 of this video, I didnt find anything negative about what he said.. I mean this is how an average person views the FRS....
I know a guy who hated the 86/FRS and kept telling me that he cannot find any excuse on this earth to go for such a car; especially when you got more interesting options like VW GTi and such, etc.. 3 weeks ago he ordered the 86, now he owns and drives one.. |

Just another walking opinion with a camera... He's obviously a mopar fan and judges cars based on the number of techno gadgets it has.
He obviously prefers gadgets, cushy ride and mass... He isn't judging the car for what it is.. Designed for purists who like to drive and would rather sacrifice gadgets and some comfort and size for handling and pure driving pleasure... |

There are many people that don't like the FR-S and I could care less. I bought the car because I fucking like it and my decision wasn't based on reviews or what other people were saying. If they want to hate on the car so bad, they can because it would be 1 less fuck head driving the FR-S or BR-Z and doing stupid shit to it.

LOL. I like that Dog Video with hands. Totally hilarious.
Now, back to the topic. I don't like this car, neither do I hate. Because I don't drive one, but I think Toyota hit the spot on this car as in 1/ Hot look, Sleek, and sporty 2/ RWD 3/ Driver feel 4/ Drifting Practicing on Cheap tires 5/ Small, 2 doors, coupe, 4 seats. Good enough for College students, or HS 6/ Toyota Reliability Since this car targeted the Younger Drivers, it only make sense to have a low price, and little power. Too much power kills young drivers, it is a fact. But this car has one thing no other car has ( The Ability to DRIFT ) everywhere, any time. This makes the vehicle fun to drive. So for anyone who like a good looking car, Reliable to daily drive, have fun drifting, and or feel the car sometime. This is it Oh and Scion is brand down from Toyota, why would someone compare the interior....what a No brainer LOL. Lexus is supposed to come another LF-CC, then top it of with LF-LC. If someone care much about Power, and Interior Luxury, go buy it. |

I watched the video simply because the words "Sexy" and "Girl" were in the title. I must say that all I saw something that was shoehorned into a pair of pants that were beyond too small, had excessive arm hair, and granny flags (arm fat). Maybe her name was FRS and he is saying she lacks power and has a low quality interior.

In his next video he will crash test the FR-S against his fat self to prove the car is not safe... Here is a preview:

Guys.. today I witnessed a FR-S smoke a Chrysler 300. The driver of the Chrysler made a hot right turn at point A (meaning the light already switched to green and the FR-S was on his ass so 300 (lb) guy floors it hard, long story short, the MANUAL STOCK FR-S was waiting at the stop light at point B and the Chrysler 300 which was revving all out and looked like it was going to go off the road, ended up arriving behind the FR-S as there was a garbage truck waiting for the light on the adjacent lane, and was mad as hell. The light switches and the 300 guy still thinks the race is on so floors it away.. haha. SMOKED. That road isn't even that curved. I can tell you the FR-S driver had a hoot, and was LAUGHING so hard at the stop light, good thing he had tinted windows. ![]() Moral of the story, think twice about cutting off an FR-S. These might be the specs on the 300: Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V 6 DOHC and variable valve timing E85 / unleaded fuel Fuel economy: Gasoline 14 MPG city, 23 MPG highway, 17 MPG combined and 331 mi. range Multi-point fuel injection 19.5gallon fuel tank Power (SAE): 292 hp @ 6,350 rpm; 260 ft lb of torque @ 4,800 rpm Last edited by polarstorm; 05-16-2013 at 02:00 AM. |

I guess I'm going to sell my 200hp frs so that I can have a chrysler that has 3-4 times more horsepower. If my math is correct that computes to 600-800 horsepower. Factory drifter? Watch out formulaD here I come!

My lord. I sat through that entire video and while he didn't really say anything negative, if he's going to post car reviews, he should try a little harder to make them more captivating. Maybe it's 1:53AM talking, but watching paint dry was more exciting than that review.

I gave up watching when he said "Dodge Dart" and "sportscar" in the same sentence.
