Hello there, bought my FR-S on the 21st of last month, just saying hi today.

I traded in my 2012 Scion tC RS 7.0 for the FR-S and had no regrets at all! The only thing I don't like about the FR-S is that it feels underpowered, so my first performance mod will be to install a turbo/super charger.

I just finished the demon eyes mod. Here's my car on a fairly lit day, so the red part doesn't show up as well.

Hi all, just bought my 2013 Firestorm this weekend, only put about 50 miles on it so far but loving every one of them!!!

Came with the TRD exhaust, rear wing, Scion sticker,the trunk mat, and the 6 speed manual.

So happy I bought this, I looked at other coupes before buying but this one made me feel the way that my mind says a real sports car should make you feel.

Looking forward to seeing what others do with their cars and getting ideas for mine. I have not done much looking yet, but does replacing the air box and assembly void your warranty?

Hey everyone. Just signed up today. This weekend I test drove the FR-S as well as a Civic Si coupe. The Civic was fun but the FR-S had me smiling ear to ear.

I'm 33 years old, married, and father of two very little ones. I had bought a 2013 Escape in February. I was coming from a Sonata Turbo. So needless to say I feel like a soccer mom driving the thing. My wife has a 2006 Corolla that is paid off. I have convinced her that she needs a new car (IE my new Escape). To all you young guys out there here is a lesson. If you want something find a way to make it ALL ABOUT HER and you win.

So Dad wants something sporty per say. I don't want a V8 Mustang or anything. Just something fun.

I do have to be able to fit the kids in it. I can put car seats in the Scion but it's tight. The Civic has plenty of room. My biggest thing is the Civic has all the bells and whistles. Navi, Xm radio, ect. It is also a couple grand cheaper. (I hate that the dealership will not negotiate on the price of the Scion)

But I really want the Scion. It was just so darn fun. So here I am. I have enjoyed reading the site and seeing some of your cars. This is a sexy machine.

So do I go with Red or White?

For me I finally decided that if I was buying a sports car it had to be red, go all in or not at all!!!!!!!
