Maybe If i would have done what you did, I would have been able to get my hands on an FR-S without so many engine/electronic problem/malfunctions. I hope you don't go through the same problems that me and probably a 1,000 other owners are going through
Hah, I traded in my 2012 TC for a 2013 FRS - Can't say it's the best decision I've made, but I sure do love my FRS

Mine was a 2012 aswell, I love my decision, only thing I kinda regret was that I had my Tc paid off, and now I'm back to financing :/

5 years ago I was in the market to purchase a second vehicle for myself and I didn't really know what I wanted. There was nothing out there that excited me but after hearing rumors about the FT86 on club4ag I knew this was the car. The hardest part was the wait.

My parents live in Pasadena. I stopped by that morning to buy some ham and cheese croissant from Donuts & Bugers and snapped the pic with my phone.

This car looks great in all colors but I just love how the lines of the body really shows with the whiteout. I have fun and enjoy driving her every time, thanks!

I remember the drive home when cars would pull up next to me and my son would say "dad, that person just gave me a thumbs up" several times. Yes that feeling is priceless.
