Who else will be using their FRS as a second car? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BRz will be a daily and my TACO for heavy duty. 25-30mpg vs. 15-22mpg

if i can get enough for a trade in, then it will be my only car, but it will still be the first

Since I have to wait until sometime in '14, we'll drive the '12 Prius v most of the time, '10 4Runner when the weather or terrain is bad, and the FR-S will be my daily driver when I don't have the kiddo with me. Not sure if we'll keep the MINI around or let it go. I might have to add a parking spot off to the side of my driveway if we have 4 cars. 3 usually isn't a problem.

I couldn't part with my Eclipse GSX. It's inconvenient and expensive having two cars but I suppose I could justify it by using the GSX (all-wheel-drive) in the winter/snow (although we don't get much snow here typically).

Every time I have bought a car for "weekend use" it has ended up becoming a daily driver because I can't stand to see it just sit there. So this time I am going to ditch the current car when I pickup an FRS or BRZ. I am committed to joyful driving seven days a week!

My FR-S will be my summer car, I'll it use all summer long. My present car, '05 Corolla XRS will be my winter car. Don't want to sell this car, they are rare but no body know it... so they don't have a lot of value.

It was my track car so maybe I'll put some OEM parts back or maybe not :P

I'm getting the FR-S for my wife as her second/fun car. I will drive it occasionally and would love to take it to the track to see how it does there.

Trading in my wife's 05 Legacy (neither of us like it) and she'll be driving my WRX while I DD the BRZ. That is, if I actually like the BRZ when I test drive it.

I'll be trading in my 08 TT coupe, the BR-Z will be used as a weekend car, and will continue to use my 08 Saab 9-7x Aero as I'm doing with the TT.
