50 more hp would make the FR-S a MONSTER. like seriously it would feel STI fast, it is already VERY quick. i was planning on only owning my next car for 3-4 years then buying a Mustang GT cause the new 5.0's are awesome..but with dat Scion FR-S price tag ill just drive drive this baby for 5-10 years..ill pay it off then save for a super or turbo. gotta throw some Greddy exhaust and an intake on for now...

So now that pricing is out, what's it going to be? FR-S or Mustang? Also where was the subwoofer located in the car, does it detract from trunk space or is put someplace magical like in the floor or something so it doesn't interfere with storage?

I love this car already but I have to drive it and when I do you can bet I will compare it to a wide range of cars, Im honestly half tempted to go with the Hyundai Veloster even if it is FWD. More research is required though.

Its a question of.. Spend more than you should for more enjoyment? Or settle with less for less money.

to some, spending more can and will cause super stress and they wont enjoy the purchase.

Does the manual have hill-start assist?

Every car has it.

Its called a Handbrake. Electric parking brake/foot brake might be a bit cumbersome though.

Oh he means the electronic/automatic one that holds the car for you at a hill...

no it dont got it.

Everyone's been spoiled by electronic doodads and POWWEEEERRR and now they want it all.

hill assist is an option for the BRZ in some countries
