Should I buy an FR-S?

[nbafandan]

Get a mustang ... because Truck (power) + Frs(sporty) = mustang

[marky]

buy a vehicle for your needs... FRS/BRZ/GT86 sure is a great gas saver.. bought mine to have fun while driving to work and track use/canyon driving/cruising.. cant wait for summer but for now eat/drive/work/learn/save $$$/sleep.. repeat.......

Debating between a Tundra, Mustang, and FRS?

Lets start here
Why do you need a new car? . And for what.

...wat

[fitcious]

dont get one...frs is super overrated and it handles like crap. the pickup might handle better than the frs

I suggest you keep driving the cars/trucks and decide for yourself. That's the only way you'll know you made the right decision for you.

if you want fun and handling, i sugest you to buy a dodge caravan.

I don't particularly need a truck in my everyday life. I can only remember twice when I used the bed of my truck for something over the past year or two. My job doesn't need it. However, regardless of these things, my dad advises me to get one anyways and getting anything else is a big mistake.

test drive one and see if you like it

Nobody can tell you if you should buy something...you have to decide that for yourself. If you're looking for a pros/cons list, there is plenty of that around. The short list is

Pro:
Looks good and handles great with good gas mileage

Cons:
Slow

I don't want to sound cruel but whose paying for the vehicle? If you're dad is paying for it I can see where he would (perhaps) have the right to try and dictate what you get. If you're paying for it, thank him for his concern and buy the vehicle you decide you want.

Is the FR-S good? The only FR-S owners I feel sorry for are the young drivers who are only buying their 1st, 2nd or perhaps 3rd car that they've ever owned. I feel sorry for them because they haven't had the opportunity to learn what a fine car they have. I've owned some fine cars in my life including Mustang GT, Corvette, Miata, Porsche 911 and every time I drive my FR-S I'm amazed at what a marvelous, finely tuned package it is.

I went from a quad cab Toyota Tacoma TSS to the Fr-s and never regretted it once

'02 Camaro SS 35th Anniversary Limited to an FR-S. Going fast in a straight line isn't everything.

[Ocala FR-S]

No.

OK, then don't get a truck. Not everyone in Texas needs a truck. Or a Mustang, for that matter. Just remember, the FR-S isn't a straight-line car. It's designed to be fun driving through twisty roads, so if you don't have any where you are, or don't have any racetracks nearby, you may find yourself disappointed. But, you'd be getting at least twice the gas mileage of the truck, so that's gotta count for something!
