Are you getting the FR-S or the BRZ and why? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'll let you know after detroit, until then the details aren't clear enough to say.

Toyota/Scion= better service than Subaru; more dealerships; more factory options likely;

Kids Heart · 12-05-2011, 12:35 PM

Not fair that the GT86 buyers are messing up this poll. It say FR-S people! I will wait to see what options are available but most likely I will be purchasing the BR-Z because it's easier to change the headlights a bumper than to redo the whole interior.

I currently drive a 92 240sx fastback with an s13 front end and sr20det swap. Im now 30 and would rather have all the stuff I want in a car standard.

in canada we will only have BRZ or FR-S, so it will be FR-S for me. i love the front bumper of the FR-S more than the BRZ and the interior fit more my liking.

FRS... Any Canadian that buys the BRZ is retarded.

Subaru Impreza WRX 5 door: USA: $25595 Canada: $33400 - 40% markup

Scion TC: USA: $19300 Canada: $20850 - 8% markup

ryude · 12-05-2011, 12:48 PM

FR-S because of the appearance, the price, and the kind of aftermarket it will have from TRD.

Don't 60% of Canadians live within 1hr of the US border? Why not buy the BRZ in the US? Many Canadians do that with other Subaru cars. Just check out NASIOC.

Praetendere · 12-05-2011, 02:17 PM

FR-S, since it seems likely to be less expensive and has the only thing I really wanted to be in the car. Simple A/C.

Mitch · 12-05-2011, 02:51 PM

I'll have to check out both when they're on dealers lots before I can truly tell, but I'm leaning towards the BRZ because of the styling.

Ladnerd · 12-05-2011, 03:04 PM

Anybody else think the FRS looks cleaner , particularly the front with no fogs?

The warranty doesn't transfer over. If you buy the Subaru in the US you have no warranty in Canada.

If your "brand love" is enough to convince you to spend $7000 more for the same car then yes, you're a retard.

Brand loyalty is a terrible concept in the first place... buy products based on sound research, reviews and value!

If the FT-86 was branded a Pontiac Fiero I would still buy one. It's just a badge kids, get over it!

Well it's obvious for me that it be the Brz I like cars with a subtle aggressiveness and a smile that and I've been following the progress of the. Brz and 86 since they were just rumors back in 07,08 and the release of the prototype in 09 I've always followed Subaru side of development. It become part of my interest in cars so I will own a piece of that automotive history. I won't have a problem with owning an Frs but if I can help t I like to own a BRZ now it's time to wait for the after market to build up and possibly the Sti variant.
