I see guys in their M6's staring, or people taking pictures, and occasionally get the "Breakneck" type of look on the highway. I get some gas attendants chatting me up sometimes, still.
Not modified, just exhaust, taillights and a track decal xD

When I visited the bay area last October, I saw soooo many of them.

About once a week I'll get someone striking up a conversation with me about the car. This week I've had 3 such encounters.

I have people stare at my FR-S quite a bit even though there are a few in the DMV area. I use mine as a daily driver that I treat really gently so it always looks nice and it's currently completely stock, but people still look at it. I'm surprised because there's about 20 BRZ's over at my local Subaru dealer.

I think the WRB color contributes to the 'turning heads,' as it is a fairly unique color and looks fantastic when clean. The WRB, and Hot Lava for the FR-S, really stand out on the road as most cars are white, black, or silver - really noticeable when I park it in large parking lots, makes mine easy to spot.

My BRZ still turns heads at my workplace garage, and I've had mine since last July. And last week had someone at the gas station ask me if my car was the new Porsche...

Definitely depends on where you live. Im probably one of the few that has one in my town so I still get compliments. When I travel closer to areas around Philly or NYC I dont get squat since im sure theyre more common around those parts.

Had some junior high school kids yell nice wheels when I was on lunch today and had to stop by home.

Meh, I get the occasional person staring at me as I go by them. People here don't seem to understand that mine isn't a Scion, though..

Nobody cares about mine

Some lady asked me at a stoplight, "Nice Sewbarew! Is that a Dubbow-Yew Awwr Ex??"

...that's what I get for debadging

Noticed the difference in attention comparing when I first got the car to now. Must say it has decrease but I could care less. Love this car!

Valet parked for dinner last night and we sat on yr patio. They left ours right in front of the valet stand with a C63 in front and there was also some giant flashy SUV. Everything else they drove over to the 'common' lot... 2014 Stingray, Porsche Cayan, BMW 6 Series, countless Lexus and Mercedes. It was fun to see all those cars driven off to park while our little FRS sat up front and got all the walk by stares.

Yep, had a repair van catch up to me just to thumb me up!

Choco · 05-24-2014, 04:48 PM

Had mine for almost 2 years. Still turns heads but I think it's mostly because I'm a female owner...

FRSpappa · 05-24-2014, 08:38 PM

Just got my 2014 and had the windows tinted. Guy at the tint shop asked what it was and never did one. Said doing the back window was a pain with the 3rd brake light. Crushing in Palm Springs last weekend and guys were watching an Audi A10 until I rolled by!...lol
